Forums - Microsoft Discussion - How Xbox Live is blatantly better than PSN

In all honesty, this is the funniest article I've read in my entire life. The fact that anyone would take this seriously makes me lose hope in humanity. No offense to people who thought he was being serious. I take it anyone who actually read the whole thing and didn't scan through, realised that he was joking.

As to whether xbl is better than psn or vice versa, it is debatable. Better at what exactly?
Take me for example. I almost never play online. I think I played a few times lbp and blazblue with no lag. What I do care about is content and prices. I haven't used xbl, so I don't know how it works, but what I do know is that I'm loving all the content I've been getting from psn+. (if it weren't for psn+ I would have never discovered the awesomeness of Magic the gathering). And especially all the amazing sales (£1 for games like pixel junk mosters etc).

So for me Steam is the best (talk about amazing deals) and then psn. For someone else xbl is better because there is no lag in cod or because of the timed exclusives (I don't buy dlc or play games like cod, so I could not care less).
Can't we just put our biases aside and think: just because I feel strongly about something, it doesn't mean that my view represents everyone's or is superior to somebody else's.

There is no winner.

I hate Jim Sterling, but I found this funny.



paying for xbox live DOES NOT make it better. it's just plain stupid you have to pay for xbox live to access services that are FREE elseway like youtube, netflix etc.

it may be better organised but that is the system not xbox live

no other REAL arguments here, this guy is a moron, so xbox live is better because it's american? seriously??
here's an idiot, basically saying japan are communist!! wtf?

xbox live is good for it's cheap games and features and so is the PSN



Xbox One, PS4 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch will sell better than Wii U Lifetime Sales by Jan 1st 2018

Eh, it's Jim Sterling. That should be at the top of the article so people will know it's a troll piece right off the bat. He's kind of amusing in the same way Cartman from South Park is amusing, with the whole "shock humor" thing, but that's about as far as that goes. Destructoid is mainly about creating sensationalism and controversy nowadays, and "online personalities." I go there for Dale and Chad and a few others and that's about it. Many of the rest spend way, way too much time on the soapbox preaching about how horrible gaming and the people who play games are.

This is not trolling. Everyone obviously doesn't have a good sense of what that word means. That and it seems only half of you cared to read the whole OP. Do yourself a favor, turn around and read the whole thing before you post.

This is satire. Think Stephan Colbert with a mix of Lewis Black.


The following is a formal apology due to my lacking/uneducated knowledge of what the word "trolling" truly means: Sorry, bro.

 

Hope that makes up for it.

Har har. Not trying to point you out exactly, a bunch of people called it that. The word is thrown around a lot to here on the interents. Trolling is sort of in a similar to satire, but trolling is more like getting punked. For those who only read the first part of two could easily write it off as trolling, and you've seen the examples of tl;dr on this site.

What are you talking about? Where is part two?

Fucking hilarious. It's also funny how many people took this seriously.



He is the Troll Master.



Playstation All-Stars is one of the best games I've played this gen, and is the most fun I've had in a game this gen.

That was suppose to be an "or". I'm using my Vita so if it wasn't for this damn cheap whore of a service and I was able to pay for perfection, and trust me I'd spend every last dime, I wouldn't have to deal with these bastard thumbs f***ing up all the time.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Unlike the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live is American, and as such it enjoys all the benefits that America has to offer. Xbox Live stands for freedom, a strong work ethic, democracy, God, eagles, Obama, and justice. Meanwhile, PSN is not American, and as such does not stand for freedom or any of the other things I can't be bothered to type out again. Also, it's probably racist a little bit.

LMAO!!! this made me laugh so hard!!!!
