Naturally I disagree. With a few notable exceptions (Bioware games, Bethesda games), I find games perform much better on the PS3 than they do on the Xbox, plus I'm not worried about my PS3 breaking at any given moment, since I still have an Xbox 360, 60 gig Pro model (it makes an awful grinding noise).

I don't play many online games, nor do I play multiplayer all that often, so I could care less about how 'superior' xbox live is. Personally, I'd rather spend that 60 bucks a year on another AAA title than playing online. besides, PC does it better and PC does it free. PS3 does just fine and it's free as well. Sure, there's no cross game chat, but I really don't care about that.

While the online multiplayer is better on 360, you pay for it. actual performance is better on PS3 with some exceptions.

That's not what this discussion is about though, it's about who has the best cross-platform experience, meaning who has the best experience when go across platforms. Sony has PSN on both the PS3 and PSP for example, where Microsoft has XBL on both the 360 and WP7.

but...but...I thought that was just stupid wording!  I didn;'t know you could play Cross platform on Xbox....I know Sony has PSN on the PS3 and PSP, as well as Steam integration and Dust integration, but what does Xbox have?  what can you play with Xbox on PC? 

Again, cross platform experience! Not play, experience. What he's trying to say here is that the platforms connected by Xbox Live are more coherent and offer a better experience because of it. With PSN, the integration on the PSP is much more limited than it is on the PS3, and the Steam integration is only in one game so far (with Dust integration not even in the hands of consumers yet). Whereas on Xbox Live, the experience is more coherent regardless of the whether you're on an Xbox or WP7.
