    As far as Sony vs. Microsoft are.

    Microsoft blows them out of the park.

    I dont give a shit about Sony's free online play. It no where matches Xbox Live. Not One Bit. Its prime game is prob. Killzone. Plus whatever third party games they have. (COD ect.)

    As far as I know, Xbox Live's subcribers numbers destroy the PS3's.

    I'm done.

    Enjoy your complaining about high prices. (Even though you prob. would have done it)

    PS:

    inb4 Loco's rant about how much the Xbox sucks.

    Sorry Loco, stats dont lie.

    Now I'm done.
    Your right the "stats don't lie" as seen here:

    "When considering this, it's no surprise that nearly 95% of PS3 owners are also PSN members (20 million PSN members out of 21 million consoles sold), while only 66% of Xbox 360 owners are Xbox Live subscribers (est. 18.5 million users to 27.93 million consoles)."
    Source.

    Anyway, I do agree that XBL still provides a great service to its community, the PSN is starting to catch up and very quickly at that.

    Sony was let to the party, but they are nearly neck and neck with Microsoft.

    Most people believe that even though the PSN is free to use that must mean every match is a complete and utter lag fest. This couldn't be any more wrong even if you tried. The connection is solid especially when I played MAG which hosted 128v128 players at once. The servers were smooth as ice, but with the occasional lag here and there just like on XBL.

    If I didn't know so many people on XBL at this moment and time then I would have cancelled my subscription and stuck with the PSN.

    Most of the games you can find on the 360 are now find on the PS3. The 360's exclusives are diminishing.

    If you need an unbiased comparison then look here:

    Stop bitching. XBL costs so much because it is in all seriousness the best gaming experience besides computer. It's different for other countries because guess what guys the cost of the American dollar is going down. Thats why prices increase and also to make a profit. Microsoft is greedy, but so are most big corperations. I mean Microsoft has destroyed one of the best RTS makers in history. Ensemble Studios and nearly killed Bungie. Thank god that they can still stand on their feet. But thats the reality of things right now. Prices are going to go up, this bullshit will happen. It's the world.

    Okay you people realize that PSN+ is going to become necessary in the next gen, Sony just realizes they can't get away with it now because of how it was initially based off being free, but when the next console comes out there will be a new network where you have to pay to play.

    every one says MS is greedy and say Bill Gates is greedy, but Howard Stringer is just as greedy. MS only does computers, and xbox.... sony does everything from over priced TV's to over priced clothes, If I remember correctly they even had an idea for a 5$ candy bar..... <--- fail if its what i remember correctly. Also asking 150$ to fix the YLOD when it was a major flaw with the system wasn't a great idea.... and how many charities has Sony started? what none? MS regularly gives to the make a wish foundation and supports the chairty started by Bill Gates (which he put half of his money into ).

    just saying all companies are greedy in different ways. if you found 40$ on the side walk you wouldn't be like "taking 40$ is being greedy I am going to only take 20$" and walk away your going to take the 40$

    Bill Gates isn't the CEO of Microsoft. Hes pretty much just a founder, and a stockholder. And it was more like 40%.

    Welcome to Capitalism. Funny thing is, Xbox LIVE isn't even a monopoly. People will still pay because they are addicted. lol, video games are a drug. Oh yeah, they are not greedy. Dictators who have high taxes in their countries so they can have anything they want are greedy.These BUSINESSMEN persuade you to buy their product. If you don't like inflation, by American products. I don't think y'all understand, everything is more expensive because of inflation. Geez, learn economics.
