To the OP. Paying for Gold is like when people pay for World of Warcraft. WOW is better than say Gulid Wars which is free per month but ou have to pay to own the game. WOW runs smoother has more features and better updates. That is because some of the monthly fee money goes back into making the game better. Same with Live. If you look at how many films, Tv shows and features with chatting to your friends are available not to mention on Live you dont get kicked out half as much as PSN, it's no surprise. The monthly pay helps a smoother operation. Have you seen the new supposed upgrades for Dashboard and Live, I mean just when Sony thought they were getting close, M$ throw themselves way back in front again. Thats what money does, way more investment into Live.

 

This is obviously a shot at me because he knows I like GW way better then WoW. But listen to yourself dude..... You're arguing in favor of paying more Bills.

"We must continue to fight for our right to pay more for online gaming!"

Thats Bonkers dude! Yo that's bananas! You don't want the money!? That's a Wii right there dude! $50 a year X 5 = A Wii!

That's a game right there! It's like my PS3 is giving me a free game every year dude! What? That's what your fighting for? For me to get a free game every year?

Ain't nuthin on XBL that makes it soo much better then PSN. Downloading movies? Are you crazy?

Dude Ive actually just started playing Guild wars. Because I'm waiting for Warhammer online. When I say just started I mean just started. Level 6 Warrior, 2nd proffesion Ranger. Still in Ascalon. I like GW, but it is a notch down from Wow which I played for ages. But Warhammer Online now thats gonna be amazing. I have no problem paying for Live. I mean Ps3 has been out well over a year and still no XMB or VDL. To me thats not acceptable. And a new update (which is big) is right round the corner for M$. 4 way chat the lot. Anyone who says that the money from Live is not helping M$ with the service is fickle. On top of that M$ are obviously far better with software, and there is way to many disconnections in PS3 gaming. Every time me and my mate play his PS3 online we are probably disconnected about 3 times an hour. He aslo has live and it doesnt happen. So it's not his connection.

live is only better because of more content. i cant really think of anything else thats better.

psn will have its own video content soon, the psn store is better than xbox marketplace with a built in browser the 2.4 update, and free online play. id say psn is up there with live, but live beats it in content.

another thing ive noticed is most themes actually amazingly cost money on live, where as psn they are all free and fully customisable.

with a reall posibility of home intergration this year, imo psn is better than live and its all free. theres just more to do on psn this year than live.



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

paying for it mean that we support it and thats what will make it move to the better.

oh so by not paying for psn they wont support and update it? i swear they just released 2.40....

 

 

 u didnt see that 90% of demos released on PSN are delayed or don't even make it also what happend for 2.40 firmware also u cant get Insider on PSN cuz there is not enough support.. also know that there is something like insider on psn that u should pay for it about 3$ a month.

Do you know what periods are?  I don't know where one idea ends and another begins.  Your whole post is worthless considering its almost impossible to understand any of what you are trying to say.

 

lol ....... i write it in a hurry so ......... what can i say ........ sorry fo the bad english .

Because M$'s Live API is far more comprehensive and well designed than Sony's PSN API.

 

 So the DASHBOARD won an emmy award?

Becuase the XMB did.

 

 XMB is an API now?

Maybe you should try to find out what an API really is before you talk about it.

LOL.  I know.  I think everybody should take what leo-j has to say with a grain of salt.

It's not really common knowledge is it ?  GUI could easily be confused with API.

 




^^Yeah well, if someone was unsure what something was they shouldn't be an ass in the response now should they? Common knowledge is a few clicks away, it is called google.

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.

We also have better online gameplay(less lag)
An internet browser
Information board
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)

 

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?

 

i got both xbox live and psn and i can tell you that xbox live lags alot more than psn. Halo 3 8 player lags lags and lags, resistanse 32 player=lag free'

thus i think psn is better than live regardless of what kind of fuctions they each have.

Guild wars is firstly a PVP game so as you're talking about the quests n shit and what lvl you are then you're missing the point as to why I think guild wars is better.  If you wondered why wow has recently made the arena where you can start out with a lvl 70 charecter it's because of guild wars. Trust me I have +300 plus hours on both games.

 



An ugly girl has all the features of a hot girl:

Boobs?: Check.
Vagina?: Check.
Arms, legs, and a head? Check, check, and check.

Still, I'd rather spend money on a hot girl, than go out with an ugly girl, for free. XBL is better. Why? Because I say so. I pay for it, and I don't mind. Anyone who doesn't want to pay doesn't have to. Play on the PSN. I don't care. I gots mine!
