XMB for PSN comes out soon, what do we get?

so XMB comes out for PSN on the 2nd of July which blatantly replicates the features of xbox live.

Now, I'm more than happy to pay my $60 a year, as i believe it's worth it to pay for a superior service. With playstation copying xbox's ideas.....

what do we get? considering they will have the exact same features as us now, for free?

An online service that doesn't crap out every few seconds:D I'm sure Microsoft will think of something,just leave it to them.unsunggates360

Exactly. Everything they got, is something we have had for 2 years. Plus, it's "free" that's the problem. PSN isn't the greatest, and options like the Music streaming are only available if the devs allow it to be.

They are getting gimped features if you ask me. I own a PS3 and I'm not thrilled with 2.4

Achievements>>Trophies. You have to download patches for each old game in order to get trophies from them. I don't think PSN is really doing anything great, just adding features they should have had at release.

Don't get too concerned, I still think the Stability of XBL justifies the yearly fee. I'll still gladly play it rather than play any MP on my PS3.

The 360 is adding Mii-like avatars...I hope they call them Xiis.

Yeah. Sony is slacking and is just starting to learn that they need to catch up to Microsoft. Microsoft needs to add more features IMO though just to have more of an upper hand on Sony.

play a ps3 before slagging off the online
i think you'll find that there is usually much less lag

You've demonstrated that you don't have a PS3, and probably that you've not used one either.

They aren't "getting" XMB (Cross Media Bar), as this has always been on the PS3. What they are getting is an update (v2.40). About once a month Sony release a new version of XMB, as they constantly tweak, repair, refine and add new bits. This update has been expected for a long time, and keeps getting delayed.

MS on the other hand reduce the disruption by doing two planned updates each year. OK no official spring update, though there were two system updates prior to GTAIV launch, but we still have a better service than PSN get, even with their new update. The Live blades work very well and easily to allow you to contact and invite friends to games. With the PS3 chat gets limited to people in the same game, and reading messages requires you to quit out of games to read them.

Now MS can see what Sony are releasing, and work on what they are going to include in the autumn update.
