Yes, I'm serious. If you haven't downloaded anything on Live, you won't understand. On PSN everything downloads much slower then Live, you have to install things after you download them, you can't download things while watching movies, etc, etc., etc.

 

EDIT: And it changes a single player experience the same way co-op can make a bad game more fun — because talking with your friends while doing it, particularly if you're both playing the same game, always makes things more enjoyable.

And like I said, maybe it isn't worth it to you. But it is it me, and clearly, it is to a lot of other people, as well.

i own an xbox 360 and i frequently download from the marketplace. whilst it is quicker than psn, it's not 'much' quicker. and xbl queue has it's disadvantages too, like not being able to continue your download off the marketplace if you're not signed in or the download you started on your profile can't be continued on someone elses profile. both of which are possible on psn. i'm not saying they make it better. but to say the psn queue service handles poorly compared to xbl is just ignorant. it's a queue service, installs have nothing to do with it. oh and it only stops when a disc based movie is inserted.

surely if you're in the same game playing co-op then you would be able to communicate in the game? and if you want to chat to your friend whilst playing a single player game, then pick up the phone!

Pick up the phone? Wow, that is reaching.
