| Soriku said: I think XBL has better options/interface/playability/whatever, but PSN is kinda similar and free so PSN is better. |
So without touching an XBOX 360 or PLAYSTATION 3, you form an amazing opinion.
anyhow
Coming from someone who has experience XBOX LIVE and the PSN(Me).
Interface goes to the ps3, hands down, market place looks ok, ps store has a significantly better interface, the dashboard is nice, XMB goes to a slightly better easier to navigate menu system , I say menu wise they are equal(I do like the xmb better).
As for in game features, such as in game messeging/voice chat/ communication in anyway that goes to XBOX LIVE.
Its a little faster to get to your messeges/inbox in the xmb than dashboard during a game. XBOX LIVE has voice messeging, in game cross invites, and in game music over ALL games.
Now thats a huge plus for XBOX LIVE.
Not to mention they had a year for amazing amount of content, now they also have music videos on XBOX LIVE something only singstar has btw..
XBOX LIVE also has a stronger community, simply because mostly everyone has mics.
edit: I couldnt finish, I had to go eat.
Anyhow, when it comes to performence in an online game, the PSN usually has no lag in any way, because it uses dedicated servers for games.
so I give performence to PSN
Now as for games, XBL arcade games are good, but are nothing compared to PSN games.
Thats one of my favorite aspects of the PSN, its amazingly innovative and fun games. That is a huge plus to the PSN in my opinion, and with wipe out coming out.
Id say XBOX LIVE= PSN when it comes to everything I have said combined, the ONLINE goes to XBL because of a stronger community aspect more people talk etc..
Though I like PSN alot, dont take any of these services lightly, they are amazing, and addicting.
The trophy aspect and achievement aspect really adds replay value to games.
Also, if you have a ps3 or 360 ,and have PSN, and XBL, you are in for a hell of a ride.
