How is XBL better than PSN?

PSN started a subscription fee for Qore stuffs like demos and videos, which are available for free on Xbox live. Xbox Live charges you for multiplayer. So, it's your choice to decide whether Multiplayer fees or Demo/video fees are more ripping you off.

On top of the mentioned Xbox live and PSN stuffs, I believe the XBox Live Graphical interface is much more friendly than the PSN. Media Center for streaming contents from PC is really simple too.

I'm not sure whether the following option is xbox live exclusive, but Live has full parental controls.

 

It took me upwards of four hours to make streaming work on the Xbox, it took me 10 minutes to do the same on the PS3 with Tversity. The problem is that Xbox forces you to use streaming only with the Windows Media player 11, it takes a lot to work around that and use a media server of your own (Tversity). Also there is the well known problem of Xbox only running WMA files.

What are you talking about? All the demos that I checked out on the PSN last night were free.

The PS3 rocks in that all the themes and wallpapers are completely free. I wanted to install the Mass Effect theme in my Xbox but I am not willing to pay $$ for that (its not free). I have got the MGS4 theme installed on my PS3.

I think the idea of a Web browser in the PS3 is frikiin awesome, I watched Youtube videos in that.

All the above positive points about XBL, pounted out by other members are true. But I am pissed at paying $3 to rent a movie for only one day.

I think the tv show collection in Xbox is great, and u can buy them for quite cheap.

In short the XBL is great, if you got money to spend. The PSN is awesome in the stuff that it gives to you for no cost at all.
