Xbox Live vs Playstation Network

[ffxfriek]

i like PSN but i prefer XBL

PSN, simply because it is free. I hate monthly fees for stuff like that, but that's how MS rolls. If you actually want you xbox to have the features PS3 has(wireless, hard drive, battery packs for controllers[because buying batteries endlessly is stupid], online gameplay)then you will end up spending way more money than you would have had you just bought a PS3. The few advantages LIVE offers are hardly worth paying for IMO. I have used both BTW.

You cannot compare a free service to one that costs.

Yeah but it seems to me you dont get the same quality

*sigh* How many times must it be said THEY ARE DIFFERENT THINGS. YOU CANNOT COMPARE THEM

Xbox Live I think is better.

I spent 3 hours on a PS3 looking for 4 people to play GTA4 with. I then tried at home on my 360 and it took less than 3 minutes.

Playstatation Network is free, and you get what you payed for.;p

(if this was directed to LIVE being better, read on.)

Therefore, you have just stated that the Playstation 3 is automatically the best console out there because "you get what you pay for". I could go on a whole entire rant about that one saying and how awfully wrong it is and I'll give you a little sample. People want cheap things. People like getting alot of things in a cheap package. It makes no sense to say that the computer with 4 USB cables that costs $200 is worse than the exact same computer that costs $300.

Anyway, I prefer PSN though that's only because I use it more often. Occasionally I do get the frustrations of logging me out for no reason, but overall it's been good to me and it keeps on improving with more firmware updates.

Well, im somthing of a sony fanboy, so you cant take my oppinion to heart, but i'd say PSN, wich, (in my oppinion) is full of less agrisive, more tacticle players, AND happens to be free, wich in the long run will save you allot of your lovly cash...
Where as XBL, is obviously, not free, and the community is...to paraphrase ben yhatzie "Inthusiastic in kind terms, and a bunch of screaming dickholes otherwise" no offense to anyone on live who can prove me wrong =) im not one to steriotype.

Yes, because what type of console you buy really separates people attitudes to other people - stop being so pretentious, both consoles have an equally moronic user base - Xbox live gets discussed as having a juvenile user base due to the microphones given to ever user - whilst whenever I play on PSN nobody speaks. I'm also going to call you out on your comment on the community in general (this is not the first time I have had to defend the XBL community from rash stereotypes and other moronic comments) claiming players are "not as tactical" - which makes no sense whatsoever seeing as how you'll come up against a vast amount of people when playing a multi-player game for a few hours on either system.

You may admit to being a fanboy, but making foolish generalizations such as this will only lead to you getting flamed because you don't back up your posts with any form of evidence or any real logic. That and using Yahtzee as a source of reference is foolish.

In my opinion I would say Live - in the long run it may cost more money, but the party chat functions and the report system make it stand above PSN.

Off topic - try to work on your spelling, it'd make your posts easier to read and understand.

xbox Live is fun, yet PS3 Online is fun + free.

Both good though

but it cost like, 200$ more to buy a ps3 so 4 years of xbox live.

Does that include the neccesary Wifi and Hard Drive?

Does the thread include the Store Vs. XBLA? Cause I think the Ps Store is better, as the content is more creative and fresh (see Critter Crunch, where you vomit lower life forms into your youngs mouths).

You need a WiFi adaptor to access Xbox Live? Guess I'll have to go break the bad news to my ethernet cable then...

As for the stores, I've seen both, and the Xbox Live Arcade games are a tonne better, the Marketplace is better, and I have less lag over Live than the PS network, so I wholeheartedly support Xbox Live.

xbox = fun .. but full of 12 yr old players that make you want to bomb a nursery

PS3 = fun, free and my personal fav bcos i've yet to encounter a 12 yr old noob that makes me wish IP track with address included exists ... mature audience + reliable FREE online gaming wins me over ... + PS3 Home is EPIC
