ive used psn since i got my ps3 its superb and easy to use. all the games i play onlne like cod4 burnout and gta4 play perfectly. i see no reason 2 pay 39.99 a year to play them same games over live.

once the free home network is out i cant see the point in live.

live has a couple more functions than psn, and some p2p games like vegas2 seem more stable over live than psn. but even so i still play vegas2 get into games etc on psn.

lol@ ur sig haha, Every game ived played online works perfect too esp COD4. The only advantage LIVE has is Achievements, custom sountracks are Mandatory

I played COD4 on xbox live on my friend's 360 (because one of my friend's claimed that the ps3 users sucked at FPS games so I won't last if I played on 360), didn't see any difference in performance. For the record, I still won the FFA on 360 lol. The only thing I noticed was that live told you how many people were currently online whereas the PSN doesn't

COD4 is the only game I play online thats why I used it for my comparison. I really don't buy videos from any online network and won't be willing to pay $50 a year just to download more demo's on live relative to PSN.

My 2 cents.

I personally haven't used xbl but the way it sounds is that people choose xbl over psn because of achievements and their friends that they have on it.All of which has now been fixed by firmware updates that Sony has made.



Sales predictions end of 08' (2008-7-27)

Xbox live has more users which makes it funner and I know more people on there then psn. But Psn is better for 1 reason its free. If it had as many users as the xbl it would be alot better. But by that point I think sony would start charging.

XBL is better because there is tons more content. There are about triple the games that are on PSN. PSN is also slower the XBL when it comes to downloading content. PSN has grown by leaps and bounds but just can't compete with everything XBL has to offer.



Now Playing: Crysis 2

Last Finished: BulletStorm

Online IDs: PSN: computermaximus, XBL: computermaximus

Consoles owned: Game Cube, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, PSP, PS1, PS2, PS3.

My prediction: NATAL WILL NOT help 360 sales. Maybe a 50-100k boost week 1, then a 30-70 k boost week 2, and back to the norm again after 3-5 weeks.

Some people claim to enjoy Grand Theft Auto 4's online play.

GTA 4 is a good example of where PSN is unquestionably superior to XBL -- for that game (and some others) it provides dedicated servers.  So rather than having some guy's Xbox on his shitty home connection running your game, you have a professional, dedicated server with high bandwidth running your game.  You don't have to worry about:

(1) The host advantage (the host has no lag)

(2) Host unreliability -- on XBL, hosts drop out all of the time, games can be extra laggy because of it, etc.

(3) All the players machines' being able to directly connect.  They all connect to the server instead of all connecting to one Xbox.
