This isn't even a question, Steam has absolutely all of the advantages here.

Even if Origin has improved over the years, it is nothing more than slapping some lipstick on Steve Buscemi before you send him off to a beauty contest against Jessica Alba.

Steam for everything except new EA games cause I'm forced to go to Origin.

EA does seem to be a bit friendly to users by giving away free games (Dead Space, PvZ & BF3). Although, I already owned those games so it didn't help me any.

steam easily but origin is a must, the free on the house games are great. currently battlefield 3 is free

anyone play battlefield 3? add me :skeeuk

Steam by a country mile.

Origin, whilst perfectly fine as its own service, is so far behind in so many aspects that it's not really a contest.

Neither?

Steam has yet to carter to my needs yet, I'm usually logged in but have only brought a couple of games off it.

Steam.

I've only used Origin to download free games, so no idea how well the games actually run. The Origin software runs quick though and I didn't have a problem with it. I don't really like how the library is on Origin. I mean it looks nice and you can make the titles are big or small as you want, but the library is side by side images.

I like Steam how everything is clean and consise when it comes to the libary. Everything is alphabetical order in a list to the side and when clicking on any game, it shows which of your friends have played it, achievements, and news about the game in the middle, and then on the right size it has a clean list of various links, from forums to the game, a manual if it has one, community guides, etc.

Even though Steam is DRM, if a game isn't Steam compatible, I usually don't purchase it because I like the service. All this and I mostly play on consoles, so I have 200 games on Steam I haven't played yet.

Steam because my friends use it.

I'M A SHEEP!! I KNOW IT!

Is this even a competition? It's liking comparing The Dark Knight to Batman and Robin.
