Sony says this...but with common sense everyone knows that without the Xbox live blue print there would've never been the PSN that you see today.

Sega with the DC was the first company to start the whole process, also if it wasnt for Sony big success with the Playstaion there wouldnt be even an Xbox, not to mention if it wasnt for Nintendo there wouldnt be a PS....and.....what was ur point again


And if it wasn't for the big bang none of this would exist.



Around the Network

as long as Sony Japan controls the frameware updates they will never catch up. Those guys in Japan don't care about Voice chat and that's why PSN is lagging behind.

I say give the updates management and planning to SCEA and you'll see much more improvements.



Well im happy with whatever Sony is doing and bringing into PSN. Im just glad that its free because its definately something to keep coming back for.

PSN will always be leaps behind xbl as its free. People aren't going to pay for a half ass service or pay for something that you can get exactly the same thing free somewhere else.

thats probably why its free...



PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

 

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.

afaik there is still no VoD in Germany on the PSN. Xbox Live offers this for 2 years now.

And the deal with Sky (UK) and Canal + (France) will improve Xbox Live even further. Something like 1vs100 is not on the PSN.
Joy Ride as a free game with your avatar is not on the PSN. Twitter, Facebook, Netlfix, Last FM are missing. Everybody has a headset on Xbox Live. You can chat with people even when they are in totally different games, you can make pictures and start a photo party on Xbox Live, you can have a video chat on Xbox Live, Xbox Live has a lot of more content than PSN (DLC, Arcade are HUGE). You can use your Windows Live Messenger on Xbox Live with changing status updates etc etc etc

There are lots of things that work perfectly well on Xbox Live.

EL: We're always looking at new partners and for things to do. Right now you can access Facebook from the browser on the PS3, so that's something the other guys couldn't do – so we were kind of ahead of the game there. Facebook and twiiter are not missing.



Around the Network

IG: And the pricing on the digital games will be identical to the UMD counterparts?

EL: Well, we don't actually control pricing, so we can sell to retail at a wholesale price and then they set the resale price. On the PlayStation Store we do set the pricing for first-party titles, but on third-party they give us a wholesale price. On games where we do control pricing, what we'll steer towards is having it cost the same; it won't cost more [at retail or digitally] for the launch of a new title. 


They are going to screw gamers even more then now and psp go owners will be the first ones in line to get screwed!!

I think thats outrageous, they will orice the games the same as retail and you get no disc, no cover, no middlema to drive the price up and still the gamer wont see a cent of that cost reduction?

Yeah Sony really loves and cares for gamers.

HERESY!

 

Everyone knows there was no big bang.

The Universe (and Nintendo) was created by God.
I don't know which one but it was one of them.

SegaNet was a failed attempt by Sega, during the Saturn Era. The Dreamcast would've never had a proper online OS without Microsoft. When the Dreamcast failed (which was still revolutionary) they turned to Earthlink. What was your point again?

PSN works fine for me. Once I have Cross game chat there's no real plus in XBL to me.

Most people say that because they don't use XBL .

Do you ?

I'm not saying the price is justified here.. maybe a bit expensive... but I still find PSN a prehistoric system compared to the combination of the NXE and XBL...

 



 

Evan Wells (Uncharted 2): I think the differences that you see between any two games has much more to do with the developer than whether it’s on the Xbox or PS3.
