Don't do this.

1.  You force it to go to the real youtube and you can't search videos.  It won't let you press enter.

2.  You can make multiple accounts on one 360.  I can take my memory card to another 360 and play all of my purchased content online.  If I don't have my flash drive, I can recover my ID on any 360 via the internet.  Any new account made gets one month of free Gold Membership.

3.  Doesn't disprove my statement.  I've downloaded the demo of Star Wars the Force Unleashed on both consoles at the same time.  The PSN version actually downloaded a few seconds faster but after the download, I had to install on the PS3.  The difference was negligable.  Their download speeds are about the same.  PSN's patch speeds are atrocious at times.

4.  Yeah, you can select "turn off console after content is downloaded" but the console is still on!!  Not the same.

5.  I typed that I don't have PSN Plus.  There's a glitch on this site that won't let me type a plus sign.  I'm gonna type five plus signs right now and see if they show up: <<They should be right there.

 

The difference between PSN and 360 was much bigger a few years ago.  PSN has come a long way.  I can respect that.  And the biggest plus is that PSN is free.  I just think that Live is worth it and that Live is better.  I don't fault anybody for thinking otherwise.  It just comes down to wheter you think Live is $60 better or not.  Both consoles serve their audience very well.

dont do what?

i agreed with moost of your stuff, but i just pointed out some of the stuff that i thought wasnt completely accurate or slightly misleading.

3) i now that can be very slow at times (but like i said i think it comes from the size of the dowload) but installing stuff after downloading is always very fast. but like i said psn plus will solve this problem for you (i dont think its a big enough hassle for myself, so i still dont have plus)

4)well i would have to assume that the xbox is still technically on (just in some low power state) to download stuff. but even if it is completely off, it doesnt seem like a benefit compared to on ps3, you press download, then turn off after download. they are both off after the download is complete and u dont have to worry  about doing it youself..

but like i said i learned a lot about xbl, though it did seem like you glossed over many of the positive aspects of psn (though you were praising earlier, so i guess it balances out. lol)
