S.T.A.G.E - I don't even think you believe half the reasons you listed as true reasons Live is better. I mean, exclusive Guitar Hero Avatars???

OT - PSN has a big edge on Live right now. First of all it's got Final Fantasy VII so the thread should end right here. Secondly, it's free and is something that has constantly been improving. The only thing left that I actually want is cross game voice chat, something that there is already an option to use (but it is currently not available yet). Now, I'm not going to start listing every little feature because certain people in this thread have listed some pretty ridiculous things as advantages (I have 1 vs. 100 on my iPhone for gods sake, and watching movies with your friends online is an advantage???). But I will name the things that are most important to me: games. PSN gives you the opportunity to play many games online for free, as well as the chance to download even more amazing ones:

- Warhawk.
- Metal Gear Online.
- Wipeout HD.
- Resistance 2.
- Noby Noby Boy.
- Fat Princess.
- Flower.
- SOCOM.
- Killzone 2.
- Pain.
- Flow.
- Motorstorm 2.
- Little Big Planet.
- MLB 09: The Show.
- Gran Turismo 5: Prologue.

Sony has done an amazing job creating an exclusive online experience for almost every mainstream genre. Now add Gran Turismo, Uncharted 2, Final Fantasy XIV, MAG and also multiplatform games like Resident Evil 5, Burnout Paradise and almost ever sports franchise, and you will see where I am coming from.

PSN has never had the edge  of Live. PSN wouldn't be PSN today if there was no live. Even then, Sony wouldn't ever get it. Do you actually throwing in actual games will make PSN seem like it has more? I didn't list one actual game that wasn't on Xbox live arcade, and if I did it was  because of some exclusive feature for Live that can be found no where else. Sony hasn't done an amazing job at anything. They just followed Microsofts lead, scared to force people to pay a premium for the service because they dropped the PS3 for $600.
