PSN is better then Xbox Live

Rating -5 |

Loading...

Okay, last night marked the 3rd time in the last few weeks the Xbox live has had issues. Then I check my gamertag today (which isn't there), shoot over to Major Nelson's website and, low and behold "the team is aware of the issues." Major, you seem like a pretty good guy, and by all accounts you are, but if I see that quote one more time in 2008 I'm going to send my fist through my computer screen.

I love the NXE, everything about it is better than that clunky god-awful blade setup, and I really like my 360 for the most part. Yet, Live is supposed to be the main reason for owning a 360. It's supposed to be the creme de la creme of console online. Than why is it that I'm paying $50/year for this service that is down on a consistent basis? Because my friends are too stubborn to see the light and buy PS3's, that's why.

Yep, that's right, PSN is working just fine. In fact, PSN is NEVER down: certain game servers have issues now and then (see last months Socom and LittleBigPlanet's releases), but PSN as a whole is only ever down for maintenance. This is where Sony's online service method is superior than Microsofts: it's already catching up in functionality, it's free, and a helluva lot more reliable.

I agree with you. I never have problems with GTA IV or MGS4 online and so far I haven't had any with Resistance 2

Than the correct term here should of been "PSN has been more reliable than live recently", instead of its just 'better', because by your entire post you aren't in any way saying its better, or arguing that at all. I've had both psn and live go down for me on and off since I got both of them, neither of them are perfect, deal with it.

You can't compare Live to PSN since your paying for one of them but even so even if live is inconsistent it still is the better service...

So get rid of XBL and let your money speak for itself!

Then you can make a thread about that too.

I pay for Xbox Live because in my opinion, it has more features than the PSN, and everything just runs more efficiently. But if you don't like Xbox Live, just cancel your gold account.

PSN was announced quite recently as having almost as many users as LIVE. There is no feature that LIVE has that warrants its price tag. PSN is almost exactly the same in every feature except for having cross game invites ( Which you can technically do now just by pressing the PS button) and having cross game parties...Which begs the question, why would you want a cross game party? Also, PSN's video store is far better then the LIVE market because LIVE lacks all Columbia Tristar Sony movies along with MGM and so on... So does one feature and supposed better service warrant the $50 price tag? I think not. The only reason I even use LIVE is because ONE of my closer friends only has a 360 and even he is usually disappointed with the service.

Well, I've been around longer then Sentry first of all, and second of all don't resort to insults just because you can't come up with an informed and or proper answer to rebut with... If you disagree, tell me why, otherwise keep your useless comments to yourself. I would think a would be moderator would know not to troll.

If I wasn't clear enough, I was calling you a Sony Fanboy. It's not really an insult, it "just is". It's pretty obvious dude. (and no, you haven't been around longer than Sentry. Unfortunately for you, he's gone, and now you are Giant Bomb's resident Sony fanboy. It's ok, it's nothing to be ashamed of)

Being a moderator doesn't mean I can't speak my mind. Deal with it.

Xbox Live is technically better, but the monthly fee takes some of the glimmer away. With PSN's free online play (and the last couple of updates), I'd say they are now just about equal -- all things considered.

In the end, you do get what you pay for. I expect more from MS, because they charge me for the service. Likewise, I expect less from Sony because they charge me nothing.

Well I joined a day after him, but I was posting before he was. Anyways, I have preferences towards Sony, but I don't knock on the other systems without reason. I say what I think. And as a moderator you are supposed to show some restraint or something. I do believe that your post was indeed intended to be an insult because no one calls someone else a fanboy in a good way...

Speaking of which, what happened to Sentry? He never responds to my messages on PSN. Did he just leave, or what?
