i fought this was going to be about cross platform in that PC-360. Tho PC-360 would fail out of the gate because of games for windows live.
Anyways i see no difference between steam and xbox live other than steam is free. I lol every day at idiotic fanboys defend live cost, they are like sheep. A bit off topic but overall this is just the same old same old out of MS, next week we will hear that a sony top guy is saying that the ps3 is the most powerful system blah blah. |
People like you are just pathetic, insulting others because they see the value in something that you don't. I am a pc gamer and I used steam, but I also use to use Live. From my experience what i can tell you is that live has much more content and games than steam. Yes they basically do the same thing which is playing games online, but I found Live to be much more enjoyable with social aspect built into the service. I can understand if you like being a loner online, playing in complete silence cause the sound caused by drop of a pin will make you go complete apeshit and distract you from the game, but believe it or not there are a lot of people you like to socialize in online gaming with their friends or trash talking random kids online.
Remember dude each to his own, everyone has their opinion including you, so learn how to respect it.

that would be a valid point if voice chat wasn't supported on psn... but it is... just no cgc
furthermore when did playing games become socialising? when someone goes to a party or the beach or movies etc thats socialising i'd hardly call sitting around at home playing games scialising but thats my opinion

Communicating with people on Xbox Live is superior to psn in ever single way no questions asked.
And to answer your question playing games online became social when you were first able to connect it to the internet. You don't need to physical meet people to socialize(which i pefer to do anyways). If things like facebook and twitter are considered social apps, why cant Live?

Dont want to get too off-topic with this but i should point out that when people talk about the ps3 crossplatform means CROSS-PLATFORM as in pc and ps3 connectivity (i.e. Dust 514) which i think is a big advantage for the ps3. I have not played xbox and you may be right about its features being better than steam and psn but the fact that psn is free is what i like about it (it played a big factor in why i bought the platform). From what i have heard only 12 million of the 35 million xbox live users have the gold subscription meaning that you, a proponent of the pay system, are actually a minority on your own platform so clearly while it may be very good in your opinion, clearly the majority of xbox owners dont feel the same way. I would be interested in a survey of xbox/psn/steam users which surveyed how satisfied they were with their online services - i suspect xbox live would be last simply on price.
