my ps3 allowed me to do google searches from selected  games from when i first got it in 2009 furthermore theres the full web broswer from which i can use any search engine i like

and with that dec 9th update comes cloud saving as a major feature, ps3 had that for months now

Free or not, you did not adress what he was saying. Ms has to launch before Sony for it to compete. Ms biggest advantage will be price and and lauch date, without them, they are screwed.

The Google search is nothing like 360 search intergration. And the brrowser thin is the same thing as a phone browser. Apps are btter designed and make use of the hardware its on. Which isthe root M$ is taking. I neverusemy phone browser. AndI wouldnt use a 360 browwser. I only use my PC internet for VGC, banking and youtube. I use my phone apps for everything else.

"The Google search is nothing like 360 search intergration"

how is that so? is the 360 more efficient at finding search results than google?

"And the brrowser thin is the same thing as a phone browser"

um maybe but aren't we comparing the 360 and ps3 "Dec 6th Live changes again,with so many features that the competition just doesnt have" 

"Apps are btter designed and make use of the hardware its on"

nonsense you can't really mean to tell me you really believe that having a condensed version of something is better than having access to the full thing 

the rest of your reply is about using your phone for things unavailable on your 360 and as i said before i don't understand how phones became included you were doing a comparison between the 360 and ps3 which i replied to

I'll bet PSN will still be free with the addage of PSN Plus and Sony will find more ways to make Plus more appealing and more personal to the PS3 crowd much like Xbox Live pushed the envelope earlier in the gen. To anyone who is smart they will notice Microsoft has made the 360 utterly useless as a multimedia device without the use of Xbox Live. Silver is useless and you can barely upgrade properly. Theres no bonus in making people pay for a connection they already have (I also feel bad for those with Netflix and dont have Gold). I much like many others know this because Microsoft kicks people off Xbox Live for modding and people are forced to buy new Xboxes if they dont just want to game without online. Microsoft is doing it because they can and Sony has proven that with their offerings on PSN with the addition of their PSN service. Nintendo has yet to prove Microsoft wrong, but Son definitely did it. Sony knows if they launch on time with proper games at a proper price the world outside of America will give them the first look over Microsoft. 3/5 of Microsofts sales are in America, so you know where there sales will be regardless. This case was the same for the original Xbox. Microsoft will also be making the 360 more available to everyone (not just gamers) and soon will make Xbox Live completely indestinguisable to their PC OS.  Sony then can capitalize with the games like they are doing now. You can see where Microsoft is headed next gen with their recent acquisitions. They are too predictable. They are just business suits not a gaming company and every day they prove it even more. The only thing they've perfected is online community and once they set the bar others can definitely follow. It's not impossible. Their hump to follow Sony is harder because it takes more risk to have more first party companies and Microsoft has proven they can barely handle it this gen. Lets see if depending on multiplats selling more on their system next gen will help them. If Sony launches within their window it will force everyone to look at what they are really getting right out of the box.

P.S.

I love all the features Xbox Live will keep having. I'll have that whilst Sony keeps giving the more important feature.....exclusive games. No matter what Microsoft does they cant outshine Sony for multimedia. Sony is multimedia company, not Microsoft. Microsoft is an OS company and everything from watching movies on your consoles from Sony pictures to listening to music is first party. Microsoft pays out of pocket for something Sony already has. All Microsoft will do is keep on buying deals to shy away from the fact that they dont find investing in first party companies to be desirable since they wasted $400,000,000 collars buying Rare and seeing nowhere near the return.
