PSN has the best matchmaking system?  No. I tend to agree on that, but I don't 50$/year agree. It's still pretty easy to meet friends in games.

PSN has a universal rating, reporting, muting, avoiding system?  No.

PSN has the largest on demand library?  No. Largest never meant best. And I'm not even sure it really has the largest. Yes it is the largest.

PSN has the best arcade game selection with indie games?  No. Matter of opinion, and I strongly disagree.

PSN has patches, demos, and DLC coming earlier than other consoles?  No. Yes, it's so cool that Batman's demo is available on the (free)PSN but only available to GOLD Live members yet. Oh, and since you don't seem to have tried it, we have patches, demos and DLC.  I had PSN for over a year.  I said they come earlier to XBL almost always, which is true.  I didn't say PSN didn't get them. I read you wrong, I apologize.

PSN has reliable CoD online play?  No. I never tried CoD, but of all the matches I played online, I never had problems (Resistance, LBP, Burnout, Killzone 2, warhawk, etc...) That's why I said multiplatform games like CoD!  First party games have servers, multiplat games don't, but with XBL they run great online, and PSN they don't.

PSN has more gamers active in popular games?  No. What's important? to have more? or to have enough? That's what I am saying, sometimes PSN doesn't have enough in certain games. Never encountered this problem. But I'm a casual online gamer I'd say. I just start a game and play.

 

Sure you can do Netflix via PlayOn, but the average Joe really won't care to mess with that, plus it requires you to have a networked PC.  Cross game voice chat has not been confirmed yet.

 

Netflix is only available in the US. Hardly a good point for me. Or maybe we could talk about Vidzone? PlayTV? Or Sky and Zune marketplace which will be coming to Europe and like 18 different countries, bringing 1080p instant streaming, etc. Sky is only for UK. I'm french. And Europe will soon get Sony's video store (which I don't remember the name).

 

 

Why is VGChartz like talking with middle schoolers (not so much, you, Bokal, but definitely Xoj)?

To sum up my thoughts, I'm a casual online gamer, I play regularly maybe once a week online, if I had a 360, I wouldn't have paid for LIVE, and so I wouldn't have been able to play online, never.
But since PSN is free, when I get a new game, or when I'm bored playing alone, I can fire a quick multiplayer game and just enjoy.

And if I don't play online for a long time, it's fine, my money isn't lost.
