PSN vs. Xbox Live - which is better now?

[Euphoria14]

^ Which one is "better" is entirely subjective in my opinion.

People are naming things like Cross game chat which from what I read (correct me if I am wrong) is that if I am talking to you over cross game chat I am not able to chat with people on my team in whatever online game I am playing.

So in that case I don't know if it means much for the "Better online" argument. Once again though, entirely subjective.

People mention Netflix, which I admit getting LIVE for on two occasions just to check out, but wasn't thrilled that I couldn't view the titles from my 360 and still needed my PC. They could be changing this in the next update but as of now I wasn't very impressed.

What that does though for my gaming online experience I have no clue.

Same goes for the Twitter arguments, Last.FM, Facebook, etc...

First is available on PS3 through the web browser, second can't be used during gameplay and third once again is available with the PS3 browser. None of which add anything to my online gaming experience.

When I look at an online service I look at just me being able to play with people on my friends list or just joining up with any group of random strangers. Both of which I can do with my PS3. That is what I have always used an online service for, none of these bells and whistles that uite honestly, not many people really use.

Yeah on paper one can say "This one has this and this and this and that" but when it comes down the nitty gritty and we just talk about the ability to connect online and game with other people I just do not see how "superior" one is than the other, especially when it comes to warranting me to drop $40+ on it when someone like me would rather get a new game instead. Sometimes 2-3 when Bestbuy has 360 games for cheap.


I guess people's interpretation of online gaming is different, but for me anything outside of playing online with people and being able to chat or text (which I don't use anyways) with them as I play the same game with them is completely irrelevant.
