| PullusPardus said: Yeah PS Plus is really great, but only for the free stuff, their discounts sometimes a bit lame (like 5 dollars off only from a 60 dollar game, wut?) , but their free stuff is amazing, i got so many games that I downloaded and never heard of , and a lot of them are good games, sometimes games i didn't bother with buying , like BloodRayne, now i got for free. but I still like Steam the best out of these services, and XBL the least PSN Pros : Free. also PS Plus is great, No lag even for countries outside of USA, mostly region free content, also OPTIONAL PS Plus. Cons : the goddamn slow updates, everytime i want to play something I have to update my PS3 , then update my games, I just want to pop a disk in and play, thats what consoles are for damnit! , no voice chat outside games, some region locking crap (you have to buy the same region game to play on servers) , Trophies, I fucking hate trophies, they're so slow and so meaninless and are a bitch to "Sync to servers" when you play for long periods. Steam No region locking servers, has everything the other services have and does it better, Free, and has HUGE discounts, also very easy to use, and have no Adverts (except for game adverts and discounts) , and ironically , I am finding Steam to be faster to boot than consoles, sure it needs updates, but they're not very common , and steam updates fast. Cons : no "update later" , and this is something that happens to me a lot, I take long breaks from games and when I want to go back to play them , there is an update, and I can't play the games until the update finish, This is also a trend in consoles lately, which kinda defeats the purpose of a console, its crap, also Steam is a wallet whore, i have soo many games on my backlog, its not even funny (this is not a con, maybe it is)
XBL : fast updates, and fast download speeds, voice chat outside of game, Windows Phone intergration, Achievements are not annoying as trophies But -read down- cons : almost too many to list, Its not free (NO YOU DON'T GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR stop lying to yourself) , Region locking like a boss , some games don't even work even after buying them , because I don't live in the best country in the world , and it pisses me off more than anything, Adverts i don't give a fuck about (honestly i don't care about Obama and Whathisface and I don't care about Justin Beiber and Lady Gaga) , almost nothing is free, and if its free, its a piece of shit, also achievements are super lame , and barely have anything special when you do get them. |
What I don't understand is why Xbox Live has ads when you pay for the service. The only ads I see on the PS Store are all related to games and it's a free service.
