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

Let's see...XBL is $50 a year, and MORE people are using it then the FREE PSN...lol...seems like they are NOT equal.

nothin wrong with silent gamers, it means you can hear less childrena

It also means that the chance of you coordinating a team attack drops to zero, which is kind of important in most competitive online games.

I'll mute the children as they annoy me. The other option is far worse when playing on a large server.

true, i hate guys in cod that seem to have no idea if theyre in a ricochet game or not, itd be nice to be able to tell them quicker



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.

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.


you can't hate Major Nelson. You just can't.

He is the probably the only unbiased guy in this industry. He owns a Wii and a PS3 as well and even promotes them from time to time. They talked about BluRay players and he said "Why not get the one that plays Uncharted?" and he said "congratulations to my friends at Naughty Dog for delivering a great game!" or he made an interview with the developers of scribblenauts on his show, because he liked the concept of this game and they are from Seattle, too. Keep in mind this is a Xbox 360 show normally, but he talks about their competitors in a very natural way. They discussed iPhone Apps, the iPad, Wii Motion + etc etc

He simply is a big gamer and one of the few you can listen to without a facepalm, because of this PR talk.

So, keep on hating Greenberg, Kaz Hirai, Reggie and some more, but not the only normal guy in this industry.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

@dirty p

what if i just find him annoying, and an empty corporate shill

just trumpeting the latest bad deal, or lame discount

he also comes across as incredibly lame on camera 24/7. hes a computer dork guy, and he appeals to the dorks. but to everyone else its just a headscratcher. xbox videos are almost all horrendous really.

Well they are cheesy, but I don't think they are any cheesier than IGN videos, gamespot videos or other.

But I guess you would rather have a bitch who doesn't know what she's talking about to his job, huh? Maybe that would make them better.. But it wouldn't..



And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

I think XBL downloads much faster and is much nicer looking. But i only have a silver account due to any online games i play on PS3 (MAG) i dont need to pay for it even though 50 a year is a fair price and if i only had a 360 i would pay for it. Although since i dont want my comp hooked up to my TV i may get gold in the future mainly for netflicks.



geesh Microsoft and Sony sure have been throwing alot of stones at each other, this month.

Honestly, I thought this statement was pretty tame. He trumpeted his own service a bit and pointed out why he thinks it's superior for developers. No harm in that. He didn't really say anything bad about XBL.
