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. |
No thats complete bull $hit.
QORE does not charge you for vidoes or demos.. its like paying for a magazine.
And no demos are not FREE if you want them immediately on XBOX LIVE.

Qore isn't like paying for a magazine, it is like playing for Sony's marketing. Magazine's provide some of their own content and are supposed to be a impartial (although it doesn't seem to always work out that way) 3rd party for news and reviews. 1st party news, previews, and reviews are marketing. Demos are also marketing. I think it's hilarious that some people will pay to view marketing materials that are normally free.
I give that post a 9.3.

Qore is exactly like paying for a magazine. The PSN has not changed at all and will feature it's own content FREE.
I;m not going to argue about Qore as I'm in class but frankly you need to wake the freak up and smell the coffee if you dont realize it is a virtual magazine.

So, Sony, makers of the PS3, are going to charge you to see exclusive news on games for the PS3. So, you get to pay Sony to see material that is intended to have you buy Sony products or licensed products. Marketing.

Qore IS a magazine, I don't even know why you're trying to argue this point, Sony has always said that you'd have to pay for some premium content on the PSN but the core of the PSN (online play) would remain free.
OT To me the things XBL does better are achievements (it extends the life of the game) and contend (games, movies, trailers etc). Honestly I couldn't care less about in game xmb but I admit that's a cool feature.
Trophies are coming on 2.4, hopefully they'll be well implemented and most games will support it. Music, movies and TV shows are coming this year to the PSN supposedly but what really gets me is that Sony could be pounding Live on the games contents. PSOne classics is only really good in Japan and we barely get updates here. Also introducing PSTwo classics would be sweet.
Anyways IMHO those are the 2 key areas that I think Live is better than the PSN.
