PSN is getting there, but it's still no Xbox Live.

Actually, SOE and the other companies that have online games for the Playstation have dedicated servers; Xbox Live uses peer hosting.

The Playstation will be getting DVR capabilities... At least in Europe.

The "gigantic list" of downloadable games for the 360 is "gigantic" because the system (and service) has been out for over two years. PS3 has only been out for one.

I do agree about the $50; its worth it, especially considering I stop playing most games after a few months, and they cost $50+ most of the time. You also have to remember,Microsoft has had XBL for over 5 years, PSN is only 1 year old... Back in the PS2 days, each game had its own separate dedicated servers, so there was no way to link everyone.

Very well, I guess I lose on the basis of XBLA being a year more experienced than PSN.
But that doesn't excuse PSN for being worse than a 5 year running XBL.
Sony should have known by now what XBL does, hell anyone would know considering that it's so freaking old. Are you telling me that Sony decided to not look at what Live does for gamers for the past 5 years and just felt like doing their own thing for the hell of it? No, of course they were inspired by Live in some sort of form, be it friend's list or chat, whatever. It's retarded that they came out with something that could be weaker than something they've had time to study. But like I said before, PSN could change, and Home looks like one hell of a good Live killer.

Even if they studied it for 5 years. They know that it does not matter. People prefer free stuff over paying for membership anyday even if it is a little bit worse.

That's a good point...

Also, I hope Home turns out to be as good as all the hype they have for it.


PC is pretty much overall the best, but now a days everything that comes out for the PC, comes out for the consoles. I use to prefer PC over anything, but I find myself not playing too many PC games; and I rarely play any online anymore. But, the best thing about PC games is the modding; thats what console games are missing.

Well maybe you, but don't think you're speaking for everyone.
I would gladly pay for quality, and it would be a shame if a company like Sony were to slack off and do a crappy job just because it's 'free'.

[DarkUmagon]

So what exactly have they slakced off on?
