Forums - Gaming Discussion - Sony: PSN Is 'A Lot More Egalitarian' than Xbox Live

Kenoid on 26 February 2010

Well both network are working fine for the games, so it doesn't matter which one is better than the other.

psn and xbox live are like two water fountains that are identical

except one costs 50 bucks

in the beginning xbl had it, now theyre almost the same, and tbh i like the community on sony better. major nelson and the other xbl personalities turn me off big time.

Um...no. PSN Feels like you're alone and nother apart of a community. Xbox Live offers a community service, not just free stuff. It's worth the money. Everytime I turn on PSN all I hear are crickets. All is download stuff and call it a night. On xbox Live I actually talk to people continuously and people are more active. The way that Xbox Live is put together is what makes it valuable and PSN is just horribly generic. The 360 also has tru skill matchmaking which I find to better overall. 

You take out of a community what you put into it. If all you're hearing is crickets, it's exactly because all you do is download stuff and call it a night.

What's this 'tru skill matchmaking' you're talking about?

Based on numbers I generally have the same friends on Xbox Live as I do on PSN. They communicate more on Xbox Live. Sorry to burst your bubble, but the PSN community is weak. Xbox Live might be weak in some areas to you, but as far as service and communication are concerned Live adn PSN are not equal. On PSN most people I know play, download and get off, whilst on Xbox Live people play, download, communicate in various ways, watch shows together and get off.....thats about it.

truskill never seems to make a difference for me

maybe just me tho

I like to test my skills. I don't always like getting shacked up with newbs with bad connection.

@stage

uhhh i was sayin it never seemed to give me matching players

so not much of a test



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

@yo john

in halo ive never noticed it help out

im HORRIBLE at it, but i get matched with high level high k/d ratio guys a lot

I don't really now how to explain it but I know it usually helps for me.

I think part of your problem is that there are no bad people at Halo anymore
