Forums - Gaming Discussion - PSN vs. Xbox Live - which is better now?

Xigmund on 02 August 2009

PSN gets better but Live still has the big advantage. Better communications and more things to do with friends.

If PSN had a in-game chat feature, there's nothing else I would want for it.



can't wait for Track Season 2009/2010, guna beast out!

Well we can say they both are epic and both offer alot to keep us happy. But when 3.0 comes out, then we can say PSN is better. Although im wishing for Premium Services (say 30 bucks a year) and we get access to every Qore episode and extra stuff like Developer commentraires and tips and tricks also.

Live has the extra features but imo PSN is better because it can do most of the things live can do, has better games and has Vidzone all for free (of course the games are not free).

I say live because the whole system is built around the always connected aspect.
PSN is a bit different. Seperate XMB tabs and a funky friends list system.
So live is superior, but PSN is free. It mostly ties to the console though. The NXE is really nice now that I've gotten used to it, 1vs100 and netflix are also big deals.

@Alkamist Star

PS3 has a web brower for Facebook

PS3 can have Netflix with the use of a media server called Playon. 

All my friends have headsets but alot of people don't since it doesnt come with one 

More content? PSN has a crapload of exclusive games but Live has more dlc content. 

PS3 will get cross-game chat with update 3.00 to be realeased this year. 

Also for those who are confused and think that we are talking about in-game chat, no. The official ps3 mic has noise-canceling and high quality mode, 2 things the xbox mic doesn't have.
