| selnor said: To the OP. Paying for Gold is like when people pay for World of Warcraft. WOW is better than say Gulid Wars which is free per month but ou have to pay to own the game. WOW runs smoother has more features and better updates. That is because some of the monthly fee money goes back into making the game better. Same with Live. If you look at how many films, Tv shows and features with chatting to your friends are available not to mention on Live you dont get kicked out half as much as PSN, it's no surprise. The monthly pay helps a smoother operation. Have you seen the new supposed upgrades for Dashboard and Live, I mean just when Sony thought they were getting close, M$ throw themselves way back in front again. Thats what money does, way more investment into Live. |
ummm.... Just purely out of curiosity, have you ever used the PSN? The reason I'm asking this is the bolded statement to me demonstrates that you have little or no experience with it since at least last August. I agree 100% that XBL is better than PSN, but it's not like light-years ahead from what I've seen.
Most of the difference seems to be basically that while both services both offer similar raw services, (in-game communication, online gaming, community features, DLC, etc) XBL's version of these features is better, offers more options (like in-game voice chat vs. just in-game messaging), has more content for download (and usually gets it a little sooner, though this seems to be becoming a little less common), and, with the notable exception of the PSN Store v. XBLA, XBL usually has a better interface for performing the desired action.
OT: Try this thread for more stuff on what XBL has that PSN does not: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=30661
Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it
