Definitely xbox live. It is almost too good that i find myself too unworthy to play on it.

Edit: Also the war was over when xbox got twitter on it. How do you compete with that. 

easy you go on the PS3 web browser and go to twitter.com

Nooo. Hell no. That is just you trying to spin things up. Twitter integration is important as that is how ios is better than android. Didn't you see the new ipad presentation. 

yea because I can't stand to waste a couple more seconds of my "life" to be fully convened

Dude i don't have twitter account. I am just saying if i had it; than i would have to buy a xbox. :P

Stupid thread.. + its been done 100 times already

I would have to say Xbox Live wins it im afraid.

Im a Sony fan-boi I will admit. I have PS3, Vita, and a PS+ subscriber.

But if I want to buy a game I plan to play online, I favor the Xbox as it works better and tends to be easier, especially if I want to play with friends.



The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.

After a recent update, the browser got a pretty good boost in power.  It works with VGChartz, now.....of course I have a PC hooked up to my TV, now.  I don't really have much use for the PS3 browser.  Just thought I'd put that out there before I leave this thread for good.  Anyway, I still prefer XBL to PSN/SEN.  Some will agree.  Some will not.  All I can say is which one serves my purposes the best.

If gonna break it down

PSN (standard):

- Sales and discounts on downloadable games and DLC
- Free access to other services like Lovefilm, Netflix etc that you pay for
- No adverts on XMB

XBL (SIlver)

- No sales/discounts
- Cannot access things like Lovefilm or Netflix which you are already paying for.
- Adverts cover parts of dashboard

PSN (standard) vs XB Silver winner: PSN

PSN+
- 12 full PSN games to download per year, play them as often and as much as you want until subscription expires
- 12 PS1 classic games to download per year, play them as often and as much as you want until subscription expires
- 24 PS Mini games to download per year, play them as often and as much as you want until subscription expires
- Additional full PSN games, retail games on demand, PS1 classics and minis in addition to the numbers listed, some you KEEP FOREVER.

- Additional and larger sales and discounts on downloadable games and DLC

XBL Gold:

- Cloud saving
- Still adverts on dashboard
- Sales and discounts on downloadable games and DLC
- Access to services otherwise free everywhere else.

PSN+ vs XBL GOld winner: PSN+, by a bloody mile.

I'm pretty sure it's more than 12 per year, I might be wrong.



PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.


Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

It works perfectly on VGchartz, only fail is not being able to see your Forum buddy.
