^^^

I used to have a xbox 360 and I miss xbox live.

Far better in every way possible. XBL used to be unavailable every couple of months for a few hours so they could do improvements, that's never happened on PSN.

For example, say your in the middle of playing someone online, if you get an invite to a different game, you don't actually know you have an invite until you press start, whereas on XBL it pops up in the corner almost straight away. And you can't join someone elses game without an invite like you can on XBL by pressing the "join session in progress" button.

Theres a few more things I could rant about but I simply can't be arsed.

I'd rather pay for XBL tbh.

Rant over/

Im on it "quite often" because ive been out of work and college for the past few months due to injuries, what else am I suppose to do with my time.
And it doesn't come up when someone invites you. Not on my ps3 anyway.
PSN is shite, almost all my mates who have a ps3 say the same.

Well i paid almost £400 for the PS3 deal I got, what I want is a online service that can at least challenge XBL.

Had a 360 before PS3, overall i'd say PS3 is preferred choice. XBL is better when it comes to communication, inviting other people etc. But for everything else Sony is Win!

Oh yeah PS3 is better in every way except online play.

I mean PSN barely even challenges XBL tbh

I wish there was the option to pay for a premium service on PSN, so if you dont mind the free one then dont buy the premium one, but the premium was better connection, less timeouts and easier to work etc etc.

tbh I wouldn't mind paying extra if it meant the network was changed/improved :y:

Exactly, at least the option is there for people that are fed up with the shit connection.

I used to have a 360, went through three so gave up and got the PS3 and I agree PSN is absolutely shite! Im tempted to get a 360 again purely for XBL

Same here but I think it would be a down grade in a way.

Would miss the internet on my PS3, Blu Ray etc.
