Well, I'll have to wait for 2.40 but assuming everything in it works well, it's pretty even in my eyes.

XBL:
Tons of content
People actually chat with each other in-game
Great online-enabled game selection
XBLA

PSN:
Dedicated servers (fuck you, Microsoft)
Free
Full game purchases on PSN

I still prefer the layout of the Dashboard but the in-game XMB might change that. I really want to play around with it to see how Sony implements it all. I don't give two shits about Home and I really hope Sony doesn't force us to boot into the "game" to use some of the PSN features. I want to get into a game quick and dirty, not jump into a social program to organize a game with friends.

is that really a good thing? The XBL community is still way to young to be talking online. Its like PC was in the first age of voice chat.

Basically what I mean by this is simply to many immature tards whining when they lose or talking themselves up like they are gods.

I just spent an hour looking for a video for PSN cry babies and whiners but found nothing... lol

CS;S has some nubs still but not many. With so many online gamers there are bound to be some 10 year olds whining about something.

 

You should be in PR, Mr. Spinmaster--the reason you don't find "PSN cry babies" is because you barely find "PSN talkers".

No matter what features are added to PSN Xbox fans will never admit to it being better, they will always argue "XBL has more players and content".

So while 2.4 will be a huge step in the right direction for us PS3 owners, 360ers will still say PSN sucks.

Inversely, no matter what features are added to XBL, PS3 fans will always say PSN is better because it's free.

Fanboyism is a two way street.

 

They could make XBL free? Please? ok, maybe not... :(

Well, they should either make it free or make it head-and-shoulders better than PSN. As it stands now, MS better do something with the service that convinces everyone it is still worth the money.

Lol the insult at 2:08 it is the best.

Man - "Hit puberty"

Little boy number 1 -"Shut up dick.. butt.... face"

Little boy number 2 - "You"

Oh man

Those little kids really showed him.

But I agree you find more little kids in XBL but they have a global mute which take care of that.

I'm not big into online gaming, but don't mind going on once in a while. PSN is really better for people like me since I don't have to pay.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

For all those that say that Microsoft's XBL is player based hosted while PSN is a dedicated server, where did ya get this information from? Ive tried searching for that but couldn't find nothing.

PSN will have the same things with an update... psn could have it... sony could update that the next firmware. Well, when psn have everithing you say, we can compare and see if is as good as the live. Well, all of that if the live wouldnt have their updates or anything new for those days. I really dont think than microsoft just leave the xbox live like is now.

Well on Xbox live games such as Gears, someone has to host the game.

On Halo it does it randomly but when it lags too bad then the screen goes blank and you can see it is looking for a new host.

Don't most games work like this? I see alot of ppl hosting a game in MGO, Warhawk and if i remember right, resistance. So wouldn't it mean that PSN and XBL both have players hosting games and not dedicated servers?

Dunno, maybe I just have shit luck but no one is ever talking in games I play, whether it's Warhawk or MGO (the two games I have played the most on PSN).

It's weird that you would say that since I never received a response from you when I would say something to you in Warhawk.

Sometimes I can't be bothered with the headset and don't bother to use it.

I'm talking about the times when I actually do go through the effort of getting it charged, connected, and working.
