Forums - Gaming - Why is LIVE considered better than PSN?

BottledSpringWater on 03 July 2008

Oh from what I read,
PSN has quality arcade games as opposed to XBLA. (which 90% is crap IMO)

The only thing it has over the PSN is this:

Cross game invites/IN GAME VOICE CHAT

Thats it,

we already have everything else, and by E3 the VDL service.

1 We also have better online gameplay(less lag)
2 An internet browser
Information board
3 Soon to be released weather service for PSN
and a better achivement system(but only 2 games currently out supports the trophies, by end of the month should go up significantly)

 

1. I don't get lag playing online so I can't really argue.

2. This is something I REALLY want on my 360.

3. That's a pretty cool idea, never heard of it, when was it announced?

There it is

all my friends have xbox live and i can hook up with them very quickly with ease.

no lag, no hassle and every game is just as easy.

It's pretty awesome chatting to my friend who is playing pro evo and i'm playing Gears of War, it's even better doing that and playing with each other.


Live is also easier for devs who don't have to use their own servers, i'm not sure but i think that's why Metal Gear Online is such a hassle to play online.

Its getting close to equal but live is still a little better.  Because Microsoft has made it an ease to play online plus evryone has mics; not so on PSN

Dude, do you even own an Xbox360? How can you compare Live to PSN when you never USE it.

Why don't you leave the comparison to people who have both systems huh?

Actually I dont own it, and those that are bashing the PSN dont own a ps3 neither.

Im taking the comparison from "Evilman278" which was banned from this site, he owns both of the consoles, I know exactly how XBOX LIVE works as well.

 

I have both (and Wii as well, but Wii's online sucks), Xbox Live is better because it's been around longer and Microsoft knows how to improve it well while Sony has been attempting to and it takes time to do online gameplay network. PSN is doing great for the time it's been around (and it has surpassed XBL during the Original Xbox time in just over a year). But Xbox Live is definitely better because it is more trusting and has smoother online gameplay at the time

Go ahead tell us what makes XBL so much better?

@gbex

Now you cant accept sony has 10 million registered PS3 consoles to the PSN?

 

I accept the fact that sony has 10 million registered accounts on PSN.. I also accept the fact that you can register mutliple accounts

Now can you accept that registered accounts and registered consoles are totally different??

Because the only movie/television studio to sign up on PSN is Sony...
Because 90% of demos released on PSN are delayed or don't even make it
Because other then Sony exclusives, 0 beta's have been available to the PSN
Because Leo-J alone accounts for 120,000 of the supposed 10 millions PSN accounts.
Because Home is still just a promise and still hasn't been released
Because private "text" chating while playing games is retarded..
Because it took Sony 19 months for the basic blocks that MS has had for years

Because.. Because.. Because...

 

realistically you know it took M$ 5 years to build LIVE to what it is right? Xbox's life plus what the 360 has had so far = what it is now.

i have been using live for over 3 years now and i love it, i dont care paying for it because of all the content and smooth online play i get. also the setup and design of live is so smooth as where psn is ugly, until psn gets over 300+ movies available for download,lots of music videos,tv shows to buy, instant messaging,and over 300+ games that support its trophy setup then psn can never be considered anywhere near the same league as xbl, period. this is my opinion on the matter, i have a ps3 and a wii as well, i like the ps3 alot but its got a long ways to go to ever catch xbl.

Why should I post the same things in all of those other threads?

Go ahead, continue posting your delusions. I'm sure I'd love something in my sig like so many others.
