I think that something needs to be said here that i have not seen. PSN and Xbox Live are not the opposite of each other so there is nothing to compare. Playstation Network is comparable with Xbox Live Marketplace, as that is where you download demos, videos, content etc. However, Xbox Live is also what allows you to play games online and communicate with others.....for a price. PS3 online is simply the internet. No servers except the actual games being run. If theres too many people on XBL at once then everything is slow and crappy. If there are too many people playing PS3 online then that means too many people are on the interent at once and i think that situation would be out of Sony's hands.

Personally, i would rather use the internet then Xbox Live Service. I just dont want people to compare XBL with PSN because PSN does not allow for online gaming on the ps3 or psp...the internet does.

xbox wins really

iv got xbox 360 elite and it beats the ps3 way morre mabe ps3 graphics abit better but xbox is just better in all other things

No offence or anything, (oxymoron), but I couldn't take someone seriously who types without using a comma, period, or even capatilization.

I love the PSN Interface, now that I have gotten to use it.

Comparing prices (bang for your buck): PSN wins.

Quality of service (costs set aside): 360 wins.

um, you obviously never owned a PS3, incase you didnt know PSN DOES have movies (in Standard Def and High Def, over 500 movies now), Shows (family guy, Futurama, Venture Bros (Hot Damn, Venture Bros ) Download games (Whipeout HD? Warhawk? Countless others my friend) and play games online.. Besides, there is only ONE, i repeat, ONE 360 game that currently uses Dedicated servers, almost every PS3 exclusive with online play has dedicated servers...

Sry to revive this thread, but the guys post i quoted had a whole lot of fail... btw, havnt you ever heard of Steam? its Like Xbox Live / PSN... download games, play em online, stuff like that... and its free... Yet microsoft tries getting people to pay for Windows Live too? no thanks microsoft, i see where you are going..

Higher priced system? im sry but you get more with your PS3 for less... go buy a 200 dollar arcade, then u gotta pay another 100 for the dongle, 160 for a 160GB hard drive, and lord knows how much for the High Definition drive... add another 50 for live, your 200 dollar system now costs over 530 dollars.

PS3 80Gb comes with all of the above for only 400 dollars... 80GB not enough, or is less then 160GB? just buy an internal 2.5" SATA hard drive, you can get a 500GB for 100 bucks.... trust me, Sony gives you more for less, Microsoft gives you less for more... and, Microsoft has Windows live, they made it pay to play just like Xbox live...
