What a surprise, Sony fanboys invade a thread in the MS forum and run it off topic within 3 pages, gratz guys.

Anyone remember this?


What did either of these comments have to do with the topic of this thread?

To quote the new forum rules:

Keep posts on topic as much as possible. Threads do sometimes naturally transition into other discussions, but coming in and posting about a completely different topic in order to start arguments is not okay. Stay on topic, and if you have something different to talk about make your own topic.


@everyone who replied to either of these posts: The troublemakers have been dealt with. Get back on topic or be dealt with yourselves.

Way to go guys! The OP doesn't even own a 360, so I question his motives, but DOES EVERY THREAD IN THIS FORUM HAVE TO BE A PISSING CONTEST BETWEEN WHAT CONSOLE IS BETTER? For the love of everything holy, that's something that's annoying as hell with these forums, and I'm just about sick of every thread getting trashed and turned into what console is better.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Given the comment of Microsoft, what'd you expect would happen? 

But what can we do, ban all comments from M/S/N execs that may cause trouble?

We have to draw the line somewhere. Some of these rules are bordering on ridiculous. We can not put a limit on what news you are allowed to post.

he is right. Nothing can touch Xbox Lives quality. PSN is getting better, but XBL is still way better.

  • 1vs100
  • 1080p instant streaming
  • Cross game chat
  • EVERYBODY has a headset
  • XBLA is huge
  • Twitter / facebook / Last.Fm
  • more DLC
  • more demos
  • more Games on Demand (for this gen - otherwise Big N wins here :D )
  • episodic gaming (Fable II was just a start)
  • Video Chats / messages / games (this will kick off with natal even more)
  • MW2 map-packs first :D

PSN is free, but XBL still superior.

He is not right, he's probably paid to say that stuff.

● Blu-Ray

● PlayStation Home

● We have facebook now, oh my god! We don't have twitter! THE END OF THE WORLD!

● We have a web browser for twitter, thanks.. oh and every other website.

● PS3 Exclusives actually have dedicated servers, then again.. Xbox 360 still has P2P for every game.

● We don't pay a cent after console purchase for online, unless its optional DLC, Qore, etc.

● Cross game chat? We're getting it soon enough.

● PSN is huge as well.

● Every console comes with a harddrive.. lol.

● Why would you want everyone to have a headset? So you can hear 11 year old kids yell when you kill them? No thanks, I like it how it is, you buy your own headset.

● We have chat rooms and video chats already :.

● Life With PlayStation

● Video Service, now we have Nexflix.

● How much money do you think M$ Paid Infinity Ward for DLC that we ALSO get?

● Oh and again.. We get most of those features all for free. XBL well... more than half your list involves XBL which again.. involves Money! $$

 

XBL really doesn't have much over PSN, except for your little cute cross game chat.

Some of your points are so vague.

So what happened to PSN the day MW2 came out while a lot people played happily on XBL then? :)

The news was fine being posted, its the conduct that follows thats the issue.  Instead of breaking the guys statement down and calling it out for the PR crap it was certain posters decided to wage their little war with MS in this thread.  This had nothing to do with sales so they shouldn't have been mentioned. 

You can excuse the Live vs PSN discussion to a degree given the quote but by the very fact PSN keeps copying features from Live it highlights how the service is a step ahead despite the price premium.

The outburst from themanwithnoname is just someone fed up of reading the same fud daily on here.

This is why i hate Sony, they're always so damned arrogant... wait a second....
