PSN works fine for me. Once I have Cross game chat there's no real plus in XBL to me.

Most people say that because they don't use XBL .

Do you ?

 

There are also ppl who claims XBL is better just cause thats the only thing they have tried so far....your point?

Well, my point is that, for me, I feel a bit isolated when I start my PS3... don't feel like there is something living in there...

When I start my 360, it feels like the whole system "breath online", with animated content that are direclty feed to the NXE... avatars gathered in party mode playing some game, I can contact multiple person and jump from multiple discussions canals immedialty...I can pinpoint old players, recontact them and the system proposes me different actions to interact with them... etc..

On the PS3, the system basically tries to copycat the features but in a very tedious way... very tedious...and Home is not helping.

Of course, people who don't play online might not be very intersted in that anyway...

My point is, the only problem of XBL is that you have to pay for it... otherwise, nobody would find PSN a potentialy more attractive "service"...

 

I play online. I login to Killzone 2 and engage in furious firefights with other gamers for hours and hours.

I don't need any funny looking bot-avatar nodding his head and some stupid caricature (that is supposed to be me) winking against a garish background to feel 'connected'

I also don't think of online gaming as 'socializing' with people I have got the PC for that, thank you.

I guess people have a different idea of what 'playing online' means.

Hey, I can actually play online for free, I'll take that.
