360 plays games, plays DVDs, has LIVE.

PS3 plays games, plays DVDs, plays BluRays, has internet browser, has PSN.

PS3 must be better right?


See where I am going with this?

I explained my situation perfectly. If we are just talking "better online" in terms of just gaming, LIVE doesn't offer much more than PSN. Netflix has nothing to do with online gaming, neither does Facebook, Last.FM, Twitter, etc...

It is all opinion. If you think LIVE is better because of features that have zero to do with actual online gaming go ahead and claim it as better, I don't care. If you feel it is worth your money go ahead.

I am looking at this as "Online gaming experience vs. Online gaming experience". Majority of the features listed in this thread do not fit that criteria.

This goes for both sides.


Well said. As much as CGI is awesome to me, you have a very strong point here logically.

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.

Some of the offereings of LIVE people don't care for, and the same goes with PSN. However...

PSN: HOME, VidZone, Web Browser, TV/Movie download service

Games: Fat Princess, Wipeout HD, Flower, Pixel Junk series, SIREN: Blood Curse, Tekken 5: DR etc, etc...

Xbox Live: In-Game voice chat, Cross Game Invite, Voice Messaging, Party Chat, Netflix, Media Center, Windows Live Messenger, Last F.M, Facebook, Twitter, Major Neilsons new's, Inside Xbox tips. More DLC and features for party titles like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, Sponsored events. Play against celebrities.

Games: Braid (also coming to PSN), Castle Crashers (also coming to PSN), UNO, Paperboy, Geometry Wars...I buy less games on XBLA, so I know of less exclusives for it.

Hot Xbox 360 Arcade exclusive games that aren't games you mentioned (Nor Avatar games): Shadow Complex, The Warriors: Street Brawl, Virtual On, Banjo-Tooie, 'Splosion Man, King of Fighters 98, Magic: The Gathering, Garou Mow: Mark of the wolves, etc, etc,

Xbox 360 Aracade Avatar games: Joy Ride, 1 vs 100 (Playing with the real celebrities, with chances to win real prizes), Bomberman Live, Uno Rush, Sorry: Sliders & Brain Challenge.

@ Zizzla

Now, I've listed the features but it doesn't change anything. How have I posted one-sided, what did I leave out? At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what I post, people will like what they like, nothing you can do about it. And by the way, when did I say I chose one service COMPLETELY over the other? I said there are aspects of PSN I like over LIVE and vice versa. READ what I post.

Nothing you, or S.T.A.G.E. said for that matter, proves factual. As with me, you have an opinion, that is all. I don't see how people's opinions of either can be wrong. The only thing I see wrong is posters telling other posters that they're wrong for believing PSN is superior to LIVE. That's preposterous because not everyone has to like what you like, or what you perceive as better.

I don't particularly like repeating myself but I'm really trying to make my point clear.

Fixed*

LOL @everything on green.

sony webrowser counts as many of those features mentioned there,facebook,gametrailers, twitter, last fm, youtube, dailymotion and previously hulu are all accesible on ps3 browser.

sony also have Qore, Pulse, and one of the biggest digitial store for movies in the market also access to a ever growing ps1 games classics.

the whole XMB it's a media center.. it won emmy being innovative multimedia interface, for being simple yet advance and fast.

and the ps3 have ingame voice chat, ingame text chat 16 users, it video chat, it just don't have crossgame voice chat, and invites except for games like rresident evil 5. or warhawk (in home). which are the only 2 thinks the ps3 seriously lacks right now.

crossgame voice chat was already promised after 2.7 was released, its going slow since microsoft have to many patents for voice chat on a gaming console.

Xbox Live, lika always.

PSN isnt bad if you concider its a free demand.

PSN is better.

XBox Live is way more popular than PSN. It is not even a close race. XBox Live has around 70% of XBox 360 owners who have signed up and paid to use XBox Live. PSN a free online service has only had around 50% of people who own PS3s have signed up to use PSN. PSN is good for a free online service but XBox Live being a paid service is superior to PSN. Due to the large amount of numbers of XBox Live users compared to PSN users it can be seen XBox 360 owners are more into online gaming than PS3 owners.

Matchmaking, friends lists and being able to talk to gamers while you play games are just some of the features that put XBox Live ahead of PSN. XBox Live has more exclusive content and Microsoft has signed up deals for exclusive features for XBox Live.
