oh and about the media center comment a lot of the media servers online are run on a linux os, so its not OS controlled its determined by software

Out of topic question.

Does Gamestop accept console trade-in for X360?
What about the warranty of RROD issue? Will Gamestop cover the warranty?



It (PS3's market share) might hit 30%, but definently not more. ~ Neo

PSN has the best matchmaking system?  No. I tend to agree on that, but I don't 50$/year agree. It's still pretty easy to meet friends in games.

PSN has a universal rating, reporting, muting, avoiding system?  No.

PSN has the largest on demand library?  No. Largest never meant best. And I'm not even sure it really has the largest. Yes it is the largest.

PSN has the best arcade game selection with indie games?  No. Matter of opinion, and I strongly disagree.

PSN has patches, demos, and DLC coming earlier than other consoles?  No. Yes, it's so cool that Batman's demo is available on the (free)PSN but only available to GOLD Live members yet. Oh, and since you don't seem to have tried it, we have patches, demos and DLC.  I had PSN for over a year.  I said they come earlier to XBL almost always, which is true.  I didn't say PSN didn't get them. I read you wrong, I apologize.

PSN has reliable CoD online play?  No. I never tried CoD, but of all the matches I played online, I never had problems (Resistance, LBP, Burnout, Killzone 2, warhawk, etc...) That's why I said multiplatform games like CoD!  First party games have servers, multiplat games don't, but with XBL they run great online, and PSN they don't.

PSN has more gamers active in popular games?  No. What's important? to have more? or to have enough? That's what I am saying, sometimes PSN doesn't have enough in certain games. Never encountered this problem. But I'm a casual online gamer I'd say. I just start a game and play.

 

Sure you can do Netflix via PlayOn, but the average Joe really won't care to mess with that, plus it requires you to have a networked PC.  Cross game voice chat has not been confirmed yet.

 

Netflix is only available in the US. Hardly a good point for me. Or maybe we could talk about Vidzone? PlayTV? Or Sky and Zune marketplace which will be coming to Europe and like 18 different countries, bringing 1080p instant streaming, etc. Sky is only for UK. I'm french. And Europe will soon get Sony's video store (which I don't remember the name).

 

 

Why is VGChartz like talking with middle schoolers (not so much, you, Bokal, but definitely Xoj)?

To sum up my thoughts, I'm a casual online gamer, I play regularly maybe once a week online, if I had a 360, I wouldn't have paid for LIVE, and so I wouldn't have been able to play online, never.
But since PSN is free, when I get a new game, or when I'm bored playing alone, I can fire a quick multiplayer game and just enjoy.

And if I don't play online for a long time, it's fine, my money isn't lost.

VidZone’s service was extended to the PlayStation 3 video game system in some PAL territories (UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Australia and Ireland) on 11 June, 2009[6], allowing users to watch music videos on their PS3 or streamed to their PSP via Remote Play. The service will be expanded by another 11 countries: Belgium, The Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Luxembourg, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal and New Zealand by the end of 2009.[7] There are over 13,000 videos currently on the PlayStation 3 service, with more being added every week. The majority of videos are from artists signed to both Sony Music and the Universal Music Group.

 

XBL has the Video Marketplace...which will be Zune MP soon...which is the = to the PS3's VidZone....Unlike Sony...MS does not have any ties to Music Labels...So LOL....What happens to all those other artsist not signed by Sony and Universal?

Oh yeah...They are on XBL.....I don't know if it's free...I have never checked it out....But I have paused and look at it's cover and tons of Artist are doing special stuff exclusively for XBL...

 

Play TV.....Sounds like a DVR for stuff that is allready Free...I see how this is usful if your into that.....

Now...Much like you said....VidZone,Play TV are only for the PAL.....Hardly a good point for me...Guess I should get Netflix....

A broken 360 is worth like $30 credit towards a PS3 slim. BTW The Slim are now out in America! Trade in those 10 RROD/E74 360s you have lying around for a PS3 Slim! :D

That would actually be pretty hilarious--seeing someone walk into a store with 10 360s and saying "I'd like to trade all these for a PS3."

Something like that would also make for excellent marketing potential.
