And yet most people think its stupid to buy virtual santa hats (which should be free) that is what it is.

XBL is the best console online service and as such it costs only chump change a month to keep it running. PSN is no where near xbl in anyway so to not like xbl is to hate psn.

Maybe you could give us some reasons why xbl is so far ahead of the PSN.

I use both services and here is my opinion:

  • Lag/Network: In terms of online gameplay (lag/network) I give the edge to the PSN.  Since most online games use peer to peer networks you can't say one has more lag than the other.  I give the edge to the PSN because they offer dedicated servers for some games.
  • Communication/Friend support: This is clearly better on xbox live.  In-game voice chat, friends list integration, party system.  PSN really doesn't touch xbl here.
  • Dashboard/PSN Store: The edge goes to PSN.  It is laid out better and is easier to find items.  The live dashboard highlights a few items, but buries everything else in menus.  Also, PSN seems to leave demos and other items available for download; whereas, xbl removes demos/content from the service.

I disagree with you that PSN and XBL are far apart in terms of their offerings.

 

1. Lag is non existant in xbl . And xbl offers dedicated servers for any game exceeding the 16 players.

3. You describing the old dashboard which doesnt exist.



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!
