I'm sick of this argument. Everyone has their own opinion, but both are good in different ways. Personally, I like the PS3, but thats because I'm skint and my parents pay for the internet connection.

I'm going to say Xbox 360. But that is a biased response because I have never played a PS3 or been on their network.
I can't say I would want be with all that hacking going on. Yes Xbox Live can be hacked and has been hacked, but never in the scale of Sony and I don't think that is possible, only single accounts, but that is when the user has been stupid with there info.
Plus tax of course:
400 Microsoft Points - $4.99
800 Microsoft Points - $9.99
1600 Microsoft Points - $19.99
4000 Microsoft Points - $49.99
6000 Microsoft Points - $74.99
But sometimes it isn't to hard to spend 200 points on live. Well, you will have 40 points lift over which you will have to wait for another spare 40 to come along, but there are a lot of things that are 160 points. I with my last online purchase(leftover points wasn't avoidable with the bizarre amount of points I needed), I ended up with 160 points leftover.
There are many Indie games that can be bought with just 80 or 160 points. There are avatar items that can be purchased with that possibly two items. Also sometimes some game DLC is affordable with that. I hadn't intended to buy a gun pack for Mass Effect 2, but I noticed that the firepower pack was 160 points, so since I didn't want the points to sit there for months or more, I bought the gun pack and was pleasantly surprised how awesome it was. It contained the best assault rifle, shotgun, and pistol in the game. It was definitely worth spending the leftover points on.
Other times I do buy avatar items and themes and such with my leftover points. People just have to be open to buying things for their system other than game stuff. I never thought I would, but I actually haven regretted buying any non-gaming items on Live. They make the experience more than just a gaming experience.
The one thing I wish they would do make it so I could just by points in 80 point increments. You look at the make up of how much points cost 80 points is a dollar. I wish I could move a little counter and just by the dollar amount I want.

I know what you are going to say, that you don't use debit or credit cards online, but you wouldn't have to buy 1000 and have some leftover if you bought points online.Skopintsev said:

Depends on what you wanna do. If you just wanna play your video games online then you can't go wrong with PS3 since its free. But if you actually care for all that extra stuff Xbox Live offers, then I guess you can't really beat Xbox live.
Personally I prefer PS3 because its free. Compared to how much I play games online on my PC, I rarely play games online on my ps3. And paying $15 per month for something I don't use very much is kind of stupid.

Well they could allow it after that 5 dollar amount.666Chaos said:
Like when I bought all the Mass Effect 2 DLC that I didn't have before playing it the first time. It came out to be 31 dollars in points, 2480. So I had to buy 1600, 800, and 400 points, and have 320 left over when I got what I intended to get. I ended up spending that on the firepower pack and some avatar items, but the point is that after that 5 dollar bottom, I could have added the points in 80 point increments and bought 31 dollars plus tax worth.
I wouldn't know since I don't have a PS3, but is 15 a month what PSN+ costs.icyneesan said:
Because Xbox Live costs 60 dollars for a year(the better deal because it costs 5 bucks a month). Now if you buy just a month it is 10 dollars.
But still 10 dollars a month for everything is better than 15 for some extra stuff other than online play.
As a PS3 and PC gamer, I can say that the 360 has superior console online.
I prefer PC online, though.

Its $49.99 ($4 a month) for PSN plus for 1 year, or $17.99 ($6 a month) for 3 months. You get access to free games (as long as you stay a active subscriber), 'huge' discounts on select games, dlc and other content available on the PSN, early access to demos and betas, full game trials (1 hour), and online storage for saves.Sonic Doctor said:
That being said, I'd only really make use of the free stuff, and the discounts on games/DLC. Though I suppose the early access stuff would be nice if they're doing a game you care for.
I have all three and voted for XBL. PSN may be free, but as someone with lots of disposable income I don't care about five dollars a month for XBL. PSN is still awesome, don't get me wrong but it has more of a habit to be slow and glitchy and have matchmaking problems than XBL. I also prefer the UI on XBL better, but that comes down more to personal preference than it does anything.
Then what was that 15 dollars a month you were talking about? I also saw somebody else say 15 a month as well. Because the only thing I have encountered online that is 15 bucks a month are MMOs.icyneesan said:
Live has never been 15 dollars a month.
I've never bothered with the online gaming. XD But I like for my services to be free so I'm going with PS3. :3
