@ JaggedSac

Actually, M$ stores a ton of data for each GamerTag. All previous purchases, achievement info, friends lists, etc.

You do realize this "tons of data" weighs in at only a few kilobytes, Sony stores such information as well, but most likely one customized Playstation Home or even a Home avatar will take much more storage space for Sony.

I've never experienced any reliability issues with the PSN.

I had a problem once within 1 and half years since the PS3's European launch, it lasted a few hours.

Funnily regarding the free XBox Live gold subscription I got with Gears, Microsoft's servers had problems when trying to use the code. I had a few issues during this month and in general XBox Live performance for some reason seemed to greatly fluctuate during the day, not for me with regard to PSN performance.
