First the comparison is PSN vs Live.

One is paid and the other not.

PSN+ is a amazing service that doesn't exists on 360.

Now can you guys explain to me what make the servers on Live better than PSN? I see no difference because most games are client based... no server at all.


In Australia Live is better than PSN because internet providers like iiNet, Westnet, Internode, Netspace, Adam Internet etc' provide Xbox Live content data-free (You need expensive equipment to catch the packets on Akami to do that.), so you can download untill the cows come home.

Microsoft seems to have more bandwidth and lower latency too, at-least here. - That can change massively depending on location, internet connection, Internet provider etc' of course, even rain can affect such things if you're still stuck on copper.

As for the individual content on the networks, well. Everyone would be biased about that as we all have different tastes in games and content, which is a good thing.

Of course, I still think Steam beats them both, it's not only free to use, but it provides free content and free games, internet providers all around the world also set-up dedicated servers near their content delivery networks for lower latency and higher bandwidth and less down times for all the Steam things.
My internet provider (Internode via Games.on.net) is a big supporter of Steam actually.


Why do PC users feel the need to bring Steam into a console debate?
