| Frank_kc said: Many of MS fans misunderstood the article. I can agree 100% that is not failing from a MS view as a company because of tons of cash coming out of it. However, the article is about the value you get out of PS+ compared to Live. And I can ensure you that the value you get from PS+ as a customer is much more what you get out of Live. Next topic please. |
But you can't compare the two. They are completely didn't types of services. Xbox Live is the overall experience. That is everything from playing online, using apps, and every other feature. PS+ is just a service Playstation offeres that includes getting free games and early access to stuff. It doesn't have anything to do with online play or their apps.
To me the author of the article purposely did it that way. Of course any time something is for free it is most like going to better (feeling) than something that costs money. So it is easy to say one is better than the other. However what they should have done was comapred the overall experience from Xbox Live and PSN.
Finally the article isn't just about value.
1. People Don’t Care About the Free Stuff that You Actually Do Give Away
2. Lack of Automated Updates
These two statements in bold just prove not only the bias, but how ridiculous this article really is. For starters giving away free Xbox's has nothing to do with Xbox Live the service and how it compares to anything Sony.
Then he talks about automated updates. The reason someone needs to set a time on the PS3 to download something is because one needs to go on vacation and come back in order to wait out the download time for an update.
