The way things have been going, I am becoming an Xbox 360 fanboy, and that's hard for me to say because I really don't like MS all that much. The PS3 has just been lagging behind in a lot of things.

"The PS3 has just been lagging behind in a lot of things." What do you mean ?

Sorry for being really late. What I mean with the PS3 lagging behind, is with things such as cross-game chat, and the XMB. These aren't many things, and I hope you weren't expecting a laundry list of complaints. But essentially these are two big essentials that are missing with the PS3, for me.

There being no cross-game chat is really pathetic, people have been complaining about getting this for a while with the PS3 firmware update and nothing has come, except for very minimal updates for the system. This is further exacerbated by the fact that the PS3 doesn't even have a standard headset, which again, IMO, is pathetic. These two things alone, is the most significant reason as to why the PS3 online sucks. There is no sense of community; it doesn't even feel like your online. Which leads me to the issue of the XMB.

Now, the XMB is one of the coolest concepts around for a UI (user interface). I think Sony is failing in that department. They haven't done any significant update to the XMB, it's been almost exactly the same since 2006. I've been on the PS3 forums and the XMB concepts that some people posted were absolutely insane! I don't know how Sony doesn't even think about incorporating some of the ideas that the community has suggested. If they put in some of the XMB ideas that I saw on the forums, that alone would make people want to buy a PS3.

 

I just realized how much I wrote so I am going to end it here, but there are many things more I wanted to add but don't want to write and no one reads what I wrote.

 

Peace
