Brumben, well, to put it bluntly, the PSN sucks. (And yes I also own a PS3.)

No cross game chat, invites that don’t work, no party system – most games you can’t play with friends.

PSN is about where Xbox Live was on the original Xbox. Though I wish it were free, XBL will continue to get my money, at least for now, because the other free option just plain stinks.

You’re all mugs! To play online on the PS3 costs nothing! And it’s mainly the same games – why part with £40 just because Microsoft tells you to?

On the UK Microsoft store (not the xbox.com site) I clicked on gaming -> XBox
and there was mention of free Xbox Live (Silver)…but no explanation of what this, was, what it did, and what the other levels were. A quick google threw up this site…thanks guys!

Actually, MK, the info is still difficult to find and not as clear as it could be at xbox.com. It has definitely been improved and is less ambiguous, however, the answers are not quick and clear as they should be.

Thanks for dropping by.

I found this information quite easily on Xbox.com on the introduction page:

“There are two levels of service for Xbox LIVE. The Silver level is free and lets you download content from Xbox LIVE Marketplace, chat with friends, and share your gamer profile and achievements with other users. The Gold Level is a paid service with all of the Silver level benefits, plus with the ability to play multiplayer games online against other members of the Xbox LIVE community, create parties and join games with friends, and, if you’re a Netflix member, even watch streaming movies right on your Xbox 360.”

I’d understand if this information was not available in 2006 when this post was published, but there are rather recent comments here. “Much better answer”? “Ridiculous search”? Really?

I’m sorry but the ps3 is more of a entertainment system as well as a Gaming Console, the 360 is just a console really.
Yes the PS3 costs more….
BUT when you have forked out for the wireless adapter, and the yearly xbox live fee you spend more than the cost for PS3.
And people using games as a factor of which console is more superior than the other is just ridiculous as the enjoyment of a game and how good a game is, is purely opinion. But if you like shooting games then yes the 360 is probably the console for you, but if you like a variety e.g. OFFROAD racing games (Motorstorm), fun relaxing games (Little Big Planet), adventure games (Rathet And Clank: Tools Of Destruction, Ratchet And Clank: Quest For Booty, Ratchet And Clank: A Crack In Time) and Racing games (GT) then the Playstation 3 is for you.
Also for a film lover the Playstation 3 would be better as the Blu-Ray drive.
Also for someone who likes to browse the internet for free the Playstation 3 would be better as on the Xbox 360 can’t even browse the internet even though you PAY to get Xbox Live.

Sorry for the extremely long reply but there has been alot of Playstaton 3 bashing going on here using inadequate facts.

If you want to discuss more then feel free to add me on MSN (Or WLM):
georgegee13@hotmail.co.uk

If you do add me i don’t want to have a out of control arguement, but a friendly discussion will be great.

Thanks :D
