Forums - Sony - Sony Boss Admits Xbox Live Is Superior.

Classic.

Xbox fan posts a thread saying XBL is better (according to some fancy interpretation of a quote from a Sony exec)

Sony fan rebuts original comment.

Xbox fans return with dismissive comments on how Sony Fan is fanboy and hasn't got a clue.

Thread full of fail.

Having recently become a PS3 owner, I'm starting to wonder why I'm being charged $50 a year for Live. I enjoy using both services, but if Sony can pull off what they've done with PSN for free, I'm going to have a really hard time letting go of the $50 next year to renew Live. Twitter and Facebook for Gold members on XBL? I can (and do) check my Twitter, Facebook, AND e mail accounts on the PS3 web browser for no charge. Content wise, the two are comparable, except you can get free 1080p video on PSN and I think XBL maxes out at 720 for pretty much everything. The PSN store holds its own against Marketplace. Xbox Live has the party thing, but I don't really know that it's worth $50 a year. The Netflix account I started when it came to Xbox is now being used mostly to order BluRays to watch on my PS3. The Instant Streaming stuff is largely crap and does not do the Netflix library justice in any way, shape, or form.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the 360. But now that I'm using both networks regularly, I know for a fact that Xbox Live is not worth $50 a year when you compare it to what the competition is charging. Just my two cents.

 

You really pay $50 for you Live?  If thats the case I'm really sorry about that.  I only pay $29.97 the last time I renewed it by buying on amazon.  I think sometime even ToysRus have the 12+1 month card for only $34.99.

Xbox Live is definitely better just because of cross game chat (pretty much the most useful thing ever).

Other than that, it's basically the same to me.

Surprising to hear that the billion dollar service is better than the free service.

You gotta teach me how to analyze articles like you cause nowhere does he say Xbox Live is superior. He simply says Sony introduced it late. Maybe someone could point this out to me???

Anyways plenty of companies have come into something "late" but completely owned the competition and everything that came before them. Apple didn't start making phones till a year and a half ago and now they got most phone companies sweating bullets.

First of all....I'll skip to the phone thing...Iphone has no one sweating bullets...becuase it provides phone through one company in NA...and the Palm Pre abolished it with it's 4g Media...the company that carries Iphone can't upgrade to 4g just yet...and by the way...AT&T and verzion Suck balls...and chrage redicolous amount of mony for airtime...So no...And before you mention Apps...it's not an Apple exclusive thing...One phone is even advertised as "App Friendly"

What the Sony guy says is that the way XBL was last Gen...Is what Sony wants to do with PSN this Gen...Which funny...and I don't understand how you don't understand...and Sony will never overtake the Wii....
