just go read the front page on vgchartz that should convince you that you're an idiot. They have articles on new releases in PSN and XBL. Microsoft servers suck anyways, they are slower and easily disconnected, that's why I don't pay for Live and only play on PSN. Plus the fact that you don't pay Microsoft for services like that.

I think you will find that Microsoft servers are much better than Sony's.  There are more of them, they are faster, and disconnect much less often than a Sony server.  The issue of disconnects is usually with the "host" which is because Microsoft uses PvP for most games.  That's not a server issue.

To put it this way, everything on the NXE is server based, including the marketplace, dashboard menus, all downloads, etc.  All of this is accessible via Xbox Live to all 14 million+ simultaneously.  On Sony's system, you have to navigate to each thing and load a different application for Home and the PS Store.  And we all know how smoothly Home has gone with only about 7 million PS3 users trying to connect.  Utter chaos.
