| mantlepiecek said: I play against everyone, since MAG doesn't have that many people throughout the world, and it works like magic at any given time of the day. But it has dedicated servers. Another example is COD. I have played CoD 4 on 360 and CoD 5 on PS3 and they run the same. Cross game (voice) chat is the only thing that XBL gold has over PSN. Then again, PSN has 16 player cross game text chat as well. And first party games usually get dedicated server support. And the DLC part? Assassins Creed Brotherhood and Mafia 2, both have exclusive and free DLCs for the PS3. I don't know games that are available on both having free DLCs on PS3, but its possible that publishers might not allow it in the fear of non platform-parity. I am not sure. We will see with Portal 2 what happens. But why don't you compare PS plus with XBL if costs don't matter? With PS plus you get free (sometimes)l DLCs, and regular psone games along with discounts and PSN games and avatars and dynamic themes, and exclusive betas and qore and god knows what else. It depends upon the region though. But the price depends upon the region as well. Oh and you get automatic updates as well. The regular PS users don't consider all of these features as important, why will they consider cross game chat as important? Or voice messages, for that matter. |
The gaming we aren't going to agree on, but enough people (in my opinion) have noticed what I have, maybe it is Playstation is better supported away from Australia, but ask people from Australia, Europe etc and they will most likely have the same issues as I have talked to plenty of people on the ps3 about it.
Cross game chat is as I have said to you and has been posted in this thread it is NOT the only advantage. You need to get over the small world you seem to live in.
DLC part... they are exlcusive to PS3. Find me an example that is clear enough that is free on one console and you have to pay on the other there is none. If I looked hard enough I would find enough of your examples on the 360. They are exclusive, its not the same thing.
Portal 2 will be most likely more supported with the 360 or evenly done across the board. As portal: still alive, is that even on the PS3 yet?
Ok I will compare plus to 360 gold.
Little thing ps1 games... really, you can find old ps3 games for 5-10 dollars even in australia, can you imagine how cheap the ps1 games would be now. XBL does discounts whether you have gold or not so that is not really comparison, you are comparing silver in that regards. Again early demos and exlcusive betas happen on the 360 Gold instead of silver...
Automatic updates... okay if thats a feature some people are interested in, I hate that steam does it never mind a ps3. It slows down my damn internet, I am generally downloading and only one adsl1 speeds because of my distance from the cbd of melbourne and my truly unlimited plan.
