| osamanobama said: 1) again an abscure statement that xbox users say all the time, with nothing to back it up 2)already mentioned that was a pro for it, the only thing it has goin for it. and psn has chat, so unless you really want to talk to someone playing another game, it really isnt even a factor. 3)again a falsity that xbox users love to say. that is completely dependant upon your internet speed. nut nice try 4) completely opinion, they share 90% of their titles. and tons of psn exlusives like flight control, wipeout, echochrome, etc. 5)psn has last.fm and espn (as i mentioned). through the web browser which isnt great, but still performs adequately, and id still rather have it than not. plus it has netlix, hulu, vudoo, mlb.tv, nhl network. all at no additional fee. resistance, warhawk, many more, and just because youre a biased xbox owner doesnt mean either killzone or mag are terrible. reviews, and people on this site, strongly disagree with you. and just becasue you dont like the games, doesnt mean dedicated servers arent as good p2p. becasue its vastly superior, and youre paying microsoft to use your own internet, that u already pay for. and theres a reason pc users who have a way better network than both psn and live dont pay for it. because they know they would be getting scammed. also dont pretend like u own a ps3, your only lying to yourself. heres some more anecdotal evidence. i know 3 people personally who own both systems, and used to pay for live, but now dont becasue they realize psn is superior |
PC gamers won't pay for going online, but the community is more of the reason why people pay for Live. If your friends are on it you will want to get on it too, and they make the social stuff streamlined w/ the party chat and the sending/receiving invites/messages wherever you are.
It's also where the better players are for the major FPSs, the controller is better, people have mics, and the usercount is higher so there is no trouble getting in games. Yeah, PS3 has exclusive shooters too but the playercount is anemic compared to the powerhouses and no one outside of PS3 users care, most of them are playing COD anyways. BTW, it's indisputable that the better FPS playerbase is on Live, no PS3s used in MLG except for fighting games.
So to a lot of people, it's worth the $5 a month to get access to that, kind of like paying for CEVO. Devs like it too, cause they don't get charged for bandwidth. It may be more closed, but it provides more consistency for the overall experience.
