I own both systems, and no, PSN isn't better than Xbox Live.
NXE is far more useful.
Imo, PSN is way behind Xbox Live.
- Bland design.
- No voice chat.
- No party mode.
- Home is useless and boring.
- Life with Playstation, tried one time... enough.
- Internet Browser, pain in the ass.
- Trophies are not as addictive as Achievements.
- Total online integration is nowhere near Xbox Live (Avatars in dashboard, Live Messenger, Windows Media Center)
- No demos available for EVERY PSN game (XBLA does).
- XBLA collection is A LOT BIGGER than PSN library.
- No Netflix support.
- No Community games (btw, you gotta try BLOW, awesome game!).
- No PS1 or PS2 titles available trough PSN (Xbox originals available on Xbox Live).
I would pay 100$ each year for Xbox Live. 4$ per month is nothing.
Online service = Microsoft.
Blu-Ray Player = Sony.
That's how it works at home.
