Oh im still in he forum.

And this is so amusing.

My internet connection is Cable.  And its extremely good, as I have already said. And if you dont get it Ill explain.  If you host a game you have a separate connection to each player that is in your game.  So for COD4 there are 16 people connecting to your Xbox through your connection.  If you connect to a server there is 1 connection to the server.

See, thats funny, cuz mine is dsl and I don't have nearly the problem you have with lag. Perhaps you should explore other ISP options.

Yes there are 2 people playing.  1 PERSON PAYING lol.  Honestly.

So, there are TWO people playing, you could just as easily share an account if it was really that big a deal to you...but i suppose you didn't think of that. honestly....

I just mentioned I wouldnt be using them as you mentioned them in the first place.  And as I said you can get them on the Internet for free, so when talking about a service you have to pay for, you shouldnt even be listing them as benefits.

Yes, but you can't get them on your console, I don't care what you can get on the internet free, unless you can use them on the 360, they are pointless to even bring up.

And your silly response to servers vs hosting your own games.  Yes you have to pay for the game.  But the game on the Xbox is not cheaper than the PS3 version.  Explain your point.

Easy, the 360 owners pay for it as well, we just don't get the dedicated servers. Anyway, this is a non issue,

I dont think you understand the basic of IT.  Its not really cross game chat.  Its just chat.  Just because people can be in different games doesnt make it anymore special.  Youre just hosting a chat session whilst playing a game.

No, I don't think YOU understand the "issue" it's crossgame chat, whether it;s chat or not, it still spans across games, this is something that PSN does not have...care to tell me why if it is "just chat"?

Well if you want to pay for features on Xbox that you can use on the Internet for free then you have more money than sense.

Who wants to sit next to their computor while using their xbox? I mean honestly...do you posess the ability to reason at all??? so far you have not shown me that you do.

I didnt say I didnt like Xbox live.  I love as I have already said my Xbox. However to pay for services that are free everywhere else is silly, I do think youre starting to agree as well. And if I do want to play games like Gears then I do have to play for live.  Whereas if I wanted to play Uncharted 2 online I dont have to pay.  And BTW that game is fantastic.

I doubt, it, with all the bitching an moaning about XBL I really don't believe you, if you DONT WANT TO PAY FOR THE "FREE" SERVICES< DONT BUY XBL. If you want to play gears on line, you have to pay for the service, to me $38.99 is a reasonable price to pay for an already awsome service. if it's not worth it to you, then stop paying for it. it's really so easy a caveman could do it!

So the 99 percent features on the console are clunky.  Youre the one that used them in your argument.  I have always said I wouldnt use them/  Someones losing it. 

Erm, you were the one that brought up the 99% of the features of live...not me, so check yourself, you certainly are losing it.

Your last comment makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.  Maybe youre getting angry because your last post is just a compilation of contradictory statements from yor previoous post.

Yeah, not so much, It was quite clear what I meant, it's not my problem if you can't figure it out.

Anyway your opinions are beneath me and most life forms.  Ill leave you to your world.  Hope youve learned something today.

XD once again, the elitist attitude, it was nice finding out about your true character. Insulting people because they use reason to dismantle a failed attempt at an argument, yeah, I learned something about you today...

 

 

@ domicinator, the PSN browser is buggy at best, using facebook and Twitter is a royal pain from what I hear. on XBL they are dedicated apps. So yes,  Ican use them as an argument.I already said that crossgame chat was coming to PSN and it was a non issue, I was suprised that this guy was even bothering to bring it up.

As long as people have to pay a mere pittance to play with their friends online, I think they will. I am ok with paying $38.99 a year so I can play Halo 3 online with my friends, that right there is worth it. Would I like it to be free, absolutely, but as long as I must pay for it, I will gladly do so.

I wouldn't say buggy.  I check my Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, etc. on PS3 all the time.  Is it cumbersome?  If you're going to actually try to type anything to anyone on the controller, that's a resounding YES!!!  (Same problem on the Xbox 360)  However, you can plug a standard keyboard into the PS3, which is also worth mentioning as an enhancement to the free PSN service.  As far as I know the Xbox does not allow you to do this.  I have never tried it on either, but I know for a fact that it works on PS3.

As far as these items being dedicated apps on Xbox 360, yes you're right.  And that's cool.  But is it any more or less cool than checking the real Facebook and Twitter?  Hell, I think the easiest way to do it is just bookmark both those sites on your phone, and that's the way I access them both the most. 

Again--not saying Xbox Live isn't a great service.  I'm just saying that it was already getting hard to justify the cost, and the upgrades they're coming out with in the near future don't seem to warrant a price hike.  The one thing I can say is that they're finally going to have 1080p video, which I believe is something PSN has always had.  (I will mention that the PS3 has lots of FREE 1080p content, while Xbox Live nickel and dimes you for just about everything aside from Inside Xbox and Major's Minute, none of which are in HD.)
