| selnor said: Problem is microsofts gold service has so much more content now since the update. I have and use 10 different dedicated apps. Xbla has got 8 exclusive titles this year already. An option of 5 different film services with dedicated apps by February 15. The thing is, the Xbox is not really just a games console anymore. I understand if people aren't interested in that, but clearly many are. Its catch 20. I don't believe Sony would be able to justify charging for psn. If Microsoft keep getting xbla exclusives and supplying applications for dedicated entertainment then I would never pay for psn. I believe pandorax was right in what he said without realising what he said. The next gen will be the last console gen with any resemblence to consoles. Even then next gen I believe PS and Xbox will be very very different in what they offer. And how their services operate. I believe Xbox will |
The bolded part of your assertion bothers me...and mind you, it's not just your sentiment, but others as well.
The fact that PSN has many different online features, apps and services that you and others just seem to discount....as if it doesn't exist. PSN has DIRECT TV....PSN has MLB...PSN has NHL....PSN got YOUTUBE and HULU first....PSN has Netflix...PSN has VUDU, LOVEFILM, BBC, VidZone, MUBI, and other movie and Television services....PSN has Twitter, Facebook.....PSN has a browser that can traverse the internet and get tons of legal and possibly illegal content, including free Porn. I myself have every episode of True Blood and Dexter downloaded to my PS3's harddrive, and I don't even have Showtime or HBO.
What bothers me is the fact that PS3 has all of these online features and more, but the sentiment is "PS3/PSN doesn't have that much". But then when the XBOX gets some of these new features, some of which the PS3 has had for years, the sentiment changes to "oooh, look what the XBOX 360 has just recieved...it's awesome!"
Why do people pretend the PS3's online features are useless or don't exist until they arrive on the XBOX 360?
