PSN already beats Live with Netflix. The video service is sweet and has the majority of content available in HD.

sonys online platform works. I wouldn't trade with live for a second. The average quality of games is much higher, not to mention the dedicated servers.

LMAO! that has to be a joke.....

Nope I do not Own a PS3....

And here you go this was posted by a PS3 owner......

Sony charges game publishers bandwith costs, 16cents per Gig. So it doesn't affect gamers like you and me.

Here's an article: http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/694179/Sony-Charging-Publishers-to-Host-DLC-Uh-Oh.html

I didn't really think too much about this to have a solid defense/attack, but as a Sony fanboy, I say that this is better than having us pay for it.

I THINK, that the "tax" only applies to DLC/Demos after a month or so, as the first month is when millions of people will be downloading stuff.

Finally Sony is going to match the development costs for indie game developers, giving an incentive for them to release games on the PS3, rather than Xbox. So we will keep/attract the small indie games. Huge game developers like Activision only want to get as many people as possible, so they won't shy from releasing demos and such.

Ok, WTF are you trying to say? I already knew all that and you just backed up my post.

Charging .16/GB does not affect the end user. Free products will not be charged bandwitdth after 60 days, premium products will be charged forever. This has been going on since Oct '08 and we still get demos and free stuff every week on PSN, obviously publishers think it's worth the cost. Bandwitdth is not free and Sony ain't gonna pay for other publisher's demos and free stuff.

And since you don't have a PS3, you don't know WTF you're talking about and you might just be trolling. You also don't know how much PSN has evolved over these past 2 1/2 years, let me tell you it's definitely closer in functionality to XBL than it was last year, let alone in 2006.

PSN is getting better slowly but it's still a generation away from xbox live, £3 a month is a small price to pay for a superb service that Sony STILL can't match almost 3 years later,

And remember, as Sony try and catch up with Live Microsoft will keep adding new features like they are again shortly, this will keep happening meaning PSN will never catch up and never be on par with live and it's very easy to see the difference when you use them both lol,

"Microsoft Announces Partnership with Sony." Future Xbox 360 hardware will come equipped with a Blu-ray drive, and in exchange Sony gets an online gaming platform that actually works. It'll never happen.

Trading free dedicated servers, to paid (and well paid) online gaming that you have to host for yourself, that even lags when it shouldn't because it's paid?

I don't think so.
