Well I'm not spoiled like you.

Please... you're joking, right? Coming from someone who I've barely seen online playing any Xbox 360 games as of late, how would you really know which is better than the other???

On PS3 can you see which of your friends are on?
Can you see what games they're playing?
Can you join their games directly?
can you send voice messages
Can you send video/pic messages?
Can you private chat while in a game?
Can you video chat?
Can you play games/do other things while you download content?
Can you stream music to the PS3 for in-game play (not store on HD)?
Is it easy to get online with games (meaning do you have to do anything more than put the game in)?
Do you have to make your name for each game online (read you had to do this on Resistance)?
Truthfully, how is lag?

I closely researched and compared the features of each system before finally making a purchase, and I have to say the 360 put PS3 to shame.

Then again I'm a Quality > Quantity guy, so I could give a rip of who's got more to download...

The ones bold are the ones PS3 does have...
but that still proves 360 is better, SONY f'ked up and they will pay the price in the future, PS3 isnt as good as they said it would be, like i said it didnt live up to the hype

Yea 360 all the way, you jus cannot beat they're online support.

Now now.

On PS3 can you see which of your friends are on? Yes you can.

Can you see what games they're playing? From a video I saw, yes you can.

Can you join their games directly? From the same video, it was said it was possible.

can you send voice messages From what I've heard, not yet.

Can you send video/pic messages? Same as above

Can you private chat while in a game? Yes, I guess so

Can you video chat?

Can you play games/do other things while you download content?
Ask somebody who knows I would think you could do something else, but I don't know.

Can you stream music to the PS3 for in-game play (not store on HD)?
I've heard this is the only real difference and whatever excuse 360 users give.

Is it easy to get online with games (meaning do you have to do anything more than put the game in)?
From what I know, you're always online on the PS3.

Do you have to make your name for each game online (read you had to do this on Resistance)?
Not supposed to...give it time and you'll only have one name for every single game.

Truthfully, how is lag? From what I've heard, nobody's experienced alot of lag at all.

I looked at a forum, and people were saying on Resistance 40 people games that there wasn't any lag. How truthfull were the people? I don't know.

All in all, the 360 and PS3 are somewhat similar to each other. Xbox may have better features now, but the PS3 might, and probably will have the features the 360 has aswell. Nobody knows for sure.

I don't feel like searching for it.. but how exactly do GamerScores work?

OME6A · 01-04-2007

thanks Conflicted, but I was hoping to get responses from Allstar or someone else that has & plays on both systems.

...And it will also cost you points if you want to change your gamer tag, but XBL is worth every penny. All the friends options and the quick, automatic online connection are excel compared to sony. Only bad thing about XBL is the enormous amount of little kiddies and the fact that they have a mic. Same for sony.

So I was wondering about the whole, "Why don't they let you download and keep the movies!?" and then I kinda figured out.....if they let you do that, then each movie is like what? 1-2 GBs? Your HDD would fill up in seconds! (assuming the movies you download on XBL are around that size) You wouldn't be able to keep the movies on there....so that's why they delete after so many days.

maybe.

thats a good way too look at it, but i wish movies were 260, then i would rent one but 360 for a movie that you can only see for one day is stupid >.>
