Hard to very close to impossible doing this, considering where your preferences lie as seen in your signature.  XBox Live offers more for me at silver than PSN does at normal.  I don't play online, and get a lot more content able to be downloaded for free on it.  When it came down to which of the two consoles to move, I moved the PS3.

But, since you have the mind of a Sony partisan, it would really be hard to explain anything to you, because of your preferences.  


Ok. Do tell of these offers tho. I just hear a lot of Live being better but no actual evidence of the such, and the only thing ever toted is that infernal XGC. If there is some other identifier, I honestly would like to know.

PSN gives small and big games away for free pretty much  every month. I just downloaded Vanquish for free yesterday.

You get PS+, you get freemium content.  You get access to things.  With the likes of PSN and normal, you get far less demos.  I have had both systems, and about everything on the 360 gets demos.  That is not true for the PSN.  It is because they do things differently and have a different business model.  For me, I get more with XBox Live.  Home is nice, but pretty barren as it is.  Free Realms is kinda cool though.  The fact I have had a lot more content between the 360 and PS3, is why I went with the 360 over it.  

And yes, Vanquish isn't really free, it is FREENIUM, which means you get it with PS+.  What I speak about is free vs free between two networks.  If you don't play  online then XBox Silver is better than regular PSN, due to the amount of content you access FOR NO SUBSCRIPTION COSTS.

And I did check here, and yes, you have PS+:

As for what I don't get it is Sony partisans screaming how much of a rip off XBox Live Gold is, and then when Sony offers its own next tier, they go all gaga how they are now paying money for free content.  Next up, if the PS4 ends up charging for online play with say something like Playstation World, you will end you hearing the same partisans talk about how it isn't bad to pay for online play after all, because "you have to pay for the network".
