oh yes dont have to leave games to send stuff to friends, but you dont face any load screens (or long ones)to get back to the game on the PS3footfoe2

you do face having to save your game, going back to xmb finding out what game your friend is playing, putting in that game, accessing the crappy friends list the game has, and tryin to join their server. or on live I can just bring up a window invite my friend to a chat and talk to him, or join his game.

I said before, PSN is only "bad" if you compare it to XBL. I only really notice when I go between the two.DaysAirlines

I agree but to answer the question, everything is just smoother on live vs psn.... Ill give you a couple of examples I just noticed today. Psn updates take at least 10 minues, xbox live updates take about 10 seconds, and they are major updates too. Demoes dont have to install on live, you just download and hit play and they start. Also downloads are faster on live. THe messenger system is awesome how I can be playing a game, and a little window will pop up with a message and I can respond without ever having to bring up a window. Another example: there arent even game invites from psn as far as I know, ive never been able to send one if you can. On l ive I can be playing halo, and my bro will jump on COD4, send me an invite I hit accept, it tells me to put in COD4 and im instantly in his game playing.. Things like that make live wayyyy better.

how do you use messenger with your xbox live friends? I can chat with people that have a hotmail account that use messenger, but I cant chat with people that just have a gamertag on my friends list, some of them have a hotmail account tied to there gamertag and they show up, but majority of my list doesnt show up on messenger. That may sound really confusing but its hard to descrbe.

Why do you have to INSTALL games on your HDD on the PS3 before actually being able to play them? Sony doesnt know what they are doing, especially with their online service

Very comical statement. Why desn't MS put games in HDD's? Because HDD's aren't standard! That's right. 360 will never be able to cope with DVD limitations by using high-capacity discs or HDD's without someone getting screwed. For now, they don't allow devs to use HDD's. That's why, homey.

Have you seen some of the games on PS3 lately? Have you played Uncharted? The game's a beauty and it has very, very little load times. Maybe if MS actually did what Sony is doing Mass Effect would be pop-in central.

Cause they run off the HDD, silly man. I'm not too sure I get your point.

his point is demoes and games downloaded on your hard drive dont have to install on your 360, you can just play them the instant they are done downloading... they also download alot faster too.

Monopolies may be bad in most industries such as operating systems and stuff where a company only sells one product that is essentially neccesary to people, it wont make any diffrerence in the video game industry, because we have the choice of what games to buy or not, so if there is stil the pressure to make quality game,s or we dont have to buy them.

Warhawk-8.5 Motorstorm RFOM Uncharted Ratchet and Clank the PS3 already has a better software library and a better price than the 360 and a better online.DaysAirlines

Correction: THe ps3 doesnt have a single exclusive AAA yet, it costs more then the 360, and the online pales in comparison to 360.... other then that your right.

yeah hes definatley not himself, i think its still because of the injury he had earlier in the season idk though. but you can't blame him and bly when our D-line isn't getting pressure on the qb half the time.hockey73

yeah I def think its the injury... he did mess up at the end of regulation tonight, but im not sure even if he was healthy there was much he, or any corner in the league could havedone on that throw.

i see how you used 2 games so no one would call you an angry cow or lemming.MasterKillo

yeah maybe thats it... or maybe its because these are the first games in awhile I feel gamespot got wrong.
