Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Lewis: 'No one can touch us online'

tuscaniman on 24 November 2009

Really the argument of "but it costs money" is getting old. If you can't afford $3 or less per month to play then you probably shouldn't be playing games in the first place but looking for another job. Yes you can buy a years worth of xbox live for $35 or less from plenty of sites online. PSN is not better or equal to Live. Will it be someday in the future? Maybe it will be equal, but as of now Live is the benchmark. PSN takes many of its ideas from Live so if you have an argument of how its better I'd like to know(price is not one). Arguing cost is like saying your Cavalier is better than some guy's BMW because your car was cheaper. Wii online isn't even in the same galaxy so no need to even put it in the conversation.

P.S. How about some hands free motion internet browsing courtesy of Natal next year? That would be sweet.

Get a web browser, and i may agree.

wait wait wait.....all that and the 360 doesn't have a browser??

Not that big a deal for some but if no one can touch them online, a browser should be a given

he is right. Nothing can touch Xbox Lives quality. PSN is getting better, but XBL is still way better.

  • 1vs100
  • 1080p instant streaming
  • Cross game chat
  • EVERYBODY has a headset
  • XBLA is huge
  • Twitter / facebook / Last.Fm
  • more DLC
  • more demos
  • more Games on Demand (for this gen - otherwise Big N wins here :D )
  • episodic gaming (Fable II was just a start)
  • Video Chats / messages / games (this will kick off with natal even more)
  • MW2 map-packs first :D

PSN is free, but XBL still superior.

In order of Bolded:

- Nope, 3 friends with Xbox360s 0 headsets

- XBLA is huge as is PSN.

-Twitter/facebook/last.fm as someone already mentioned have been available for a long time on PS3.

As to the more DLC, not interested, more demos-not sure, I'm going to say debatable.

Not sure what video chats/messages are about...I'll conceed that point.

Way to go guys! The OP doesn't even own a 360, so I question his motives, but DOES EVERY THREAD IN THIS FORUM HAVE TO BE A PISSING CONTEST BETWEEN WHAT CONSOLE IS BETTER? For the love of everything holy, that's something that's annoying as hell with these forums, and I'm just about sick of every thread getting trashed and turned into what console is better.

 

My motive? Hmmmmm.... quick answer I did it for the VG$ so far being successful. There you go.

He is not right, he's probably paid to say that stuff.

● Blu-Ray

● PlayStation Home

● We have facebook now, oh my god! We don't have twitter! THE END OF THE WORLD!

● We have a web browser for twitter, thanks.. oh and every other website.

● PS3 Exclusives actually have dedicated servers, then again.. Xbox 360 still has P2P for every game.

● We don't pay a cent after console purchase for online, unless its optional DLC, Qore, etc.

● Cross game chat? We're getting it soon enough.

● PSN is huge as well.

● Every console comes with a harddrive.. lol.

● Why would you want everyone to have a headset? So you can hear 11 year old kids yell when you kill them? No thanks, I like it how it is, you buy your own headset.

● We have chat rooms and video chats already :.

● Life With PlayStation

● Video Service, now we have Nexflix.

● How much money do you think M$ Paid Infinity Ward for DLC that we ALSO get?

● Oh and again.. We get most of those features all for free. XBL well... more than half your list involves XBL which again.. involves Money! $$

 

XBL really doesn't have much over PSN, except for your little cute cross game chat.

Some of your points are so vague.

So what happened to PSN the day MW2 came out while a lot people played happily on XBL then? :)

They didn't expect so much traffic on the game for PS3, actually.

We proved them wrong. It's a multiplatform game, it doesn't have Sony dedicated servers. Only exclusives do.

This site is just getting worse and worse..........when sony says something arrogant the majority of this site just love it and feed off of it.....when a xbox says something arrogant (true in this case but highly exagerated) its the complete opposite.

 



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

I know it doesn't have dedicated servers but my point was that more people were playing it via XBL yet on PS3 it went into meltdown with not as many users connected. I'm just saying that if it is as good then they should be ready for any number of users!
