Might have gave me only one server because I was so far away, it was going by ping, and picking the best server to play on..

I am from India and i have a terrible ISP with terrible pings > 200ms. Even I can find many servers in KZ2 and play without lag as well



The xbox has primarily a teen userbase. The ps3 userbase is very diverse. Theres been lots of research into this. It's why shooters sell so well on xbox because nearly every xbox owner is from the same demographic, while more mature games bomb. I think this will start to change for the ps3 now the ps3 is coming down in price and will also start to capture the teen audience.

Be interesting how MAG sells now the Ps3 has started to capture some of the teen audience. And heavy rain the game xbox fanboys say suxxorz i predict to be one of the ps3's best selling games ever.



only thing the bothers me about PSN online gaming is the lack of mics other than that it's a great free service

Maybe people only think the online is good if you have to pay for it?

There is research in psych showing a similar thought process in product purchases.

ive read a few people not liking the PSN community ya ok i understand way, but for me its perfect i dont feel like im playing professionals all of the time, i can just lay back and enjoy myself im not expected to have a high scores every match but on XBL if u dont play well u might get kicked out of the game this has happened to me and my friends plenty of times and IMO not a good community on.. PSN theres not as much pressure

yes people do have this tendency..for example take any good paid application on pc and i m sure  an qually good or better  free and open source app exists. Many people i know and till a few months back i had this perception in mind .Paid is always better than free.
