(!! this is not an attack !!)

But isen't that the "problem". I may be wrong but the topic is about which online service is better, not "which one do you like the most according to your needs".

It's not a matter of use but rather features, like voice chat, Home, demos for all arcade games, dedicated server...

Right now, I think the Live is still above and moving in the right direction (social networking, free games...), minus those damn ads.

Right. LIVE is better in YOUR OPINION. The "problem" is, people post in absolutes and that's what he's getting at. It's irrelevant if you, or I think LIVE is better, he prefers PSN, which is why this is all opinionated.

My God, I can't believe I've had to post this so many times.

I think Cryoakira is right...It's not about Opinion...It's about Features...Live has features PSN has yet to implement...And PSN taxes DLC...Plus it cost 3rd parties money to support it...

Point? PSN has features, games, services LIVE does not. So what, it's still an opinion if someone likes PSN over LIVE and vice versa. It isn't factual that LIVE is greater/better than PSN or vice versa. Yes, it IS an opinion, not a fact.

Why can't people accept that?

Ok..The Web Browser....Besides that What features....Home?

Becuase your trying to defend PSN...And Not actually comparing the services....

And my Point is....That PSN does not have better feature than XBL...It's not my opinion...When Sony themselves say "Were no longer that much behind XBL" Is there more to disscuss?

With NetFlix and When last FM,Facebook rolls in....

You still have proven that everything you're posting is subjective, not factual. What I feel for PSN is irrelevant, what you feel for LIVE is irrelevant. Besides, if you actually read my posts, you'd see that I have defended people's right to be subjective. Not so much the services, per se...

This is what you're having a hard time understanding, that not everyone's opinion are the same, and everyone doesn't share your opinion that LIVE is better than PSN. You can't go around proclaiming that YOU thinking LIVE is better than PSN makes it factual, that's not realistic.

To end, I like LIVE's communications set up better. I prefer PSN's HOME, PSN games better. Does this prove that either is better than the other, no, because there are plenty of people who agree and disagree with me. Therefore, it's an opinion, not fact. Deal with it dude...

Btw, Sony didn't say that they thought LIVE was better than their service either, as you're implying. Why would they?

All you do is tell people that they should post unbaised and then disagree with them...

Not factual?...Right...I asked for a list of PSN features..

And you always talk about opinions...and how if some one post what they like it's only their opinion...

I have not simply posted that XBL is better..People were asked to pick one..And I picked XBL...

But now...

You still have yet to post any features that PSN has that are so good Live should have them...

"I don't think there's a lot of 'catch up' [with XBL] anymore. In some cases, I think we've got more, and we've got some other things they don't have," says TK. "In terms of strengths, of course we're still free, and we're giving you a lot for free."

Again, just because YOU think LIVE is better than PSN doesn't make it factual.

So...Only the people I know that have PS3 get charged Tax for DLC's???

man, i hate these my Dick vs your Cock fights they're so childish and stupid.
there i said it!! and i don't care.

Although I wouldn't have put it as harshly, , I agree with your point Pullus. It's an OPINION people, you either like one, the other, or neither. There are no right or wrong answers in here.

This is what happens when people post in absolutes i.e: "LIVE is better, no question" or "PSN is the greatest because it is". It's pretty ridiculous since neither is factual.


Things are factual when you bring offerings and proof to the table.

@ S.T.A.G.E. haha I love how biest you are, it's ok to have an opinion but to state those as pluses while the PS3 already have them and guess what the hole internet :O Ill agree with you that the intergrated part of Facebook sounds promising to me, but the hole Last.fm noncence is just stupid! You can't even play the songs while in game :/ If it did then Last.fm would also be an exciting update but as I write this now I'm switching between last.fm and hypem.com for my music needs on my PS3 and itttttt's Great (Frostiest Style=]) And by the way only reason I'm actually using my PS3 is because my PC is fucked atm, and I'm actually finding it real pleasant with a KBnM ;]


"Biest" I am? I am not "Biest" nor Biased, when I am stating facts. Sure, I like Live better, but then again, I don't complain just because I have to pay $50 for a year of a great product. Last F.M. is completely promising. 24 hour music with choice is the best way to go.....especially when it is free of charge. Second of all, why would I be listening to the radio while gaming? That is completely and utterly annoying.

It really comes down to one thing, if you want to chat with friends and use your console as a social networking tool LIVE is better, however, if you actually want to play games PSN is better. Untill LIVE uttillises dedicated servers like Sony does, it will always be inferior IMO. Peer to Peer connections are terrible compared to dedicated servers.

Yeah, especially with all the cool games and exclusive (or timed-exclusive) DLC. Not to mention all the love Xbox Live gets from Guitar Hero and Rock band. Yeah...real inferior.
