Microsoft isn't impervious to this either. It's not like hackers would just turn away because Microsoft charges for their service LOL.

The technologies in place are probably pretty similar...

As someone who owns both systems, PS Online sucks compared to Live. The interface is terrible and communication is cumbersome. After dealing with that trying to play SOCOM I honestly prefer paying for Live and having the party system, private chats, easier messaging, and better overall functionality of it.

I will decide when it gets closer to launch. I am not tied to either system since neither one offers backwards compatibility. I think if one of them had offered bc, it would have been a nice tie breaker for me. I have owned ps3 and Xbox, I seemed to always sell or give my xbox's away though.

Exclusives for Xbox I like:
-Forza
-Gears of War

Exclusives for PS3 I like:
-Gran Turismo (which I personally like more than Forza)
-Little Big Planet
-Twisted Metal

Honestly when it comes down to it, I keep the PS3 because I play fifa online a lot, and I have found that I get better matches on psn vs xbox live. Also I have more friends using the PSN, so it makes sense for me to get what my friends get because they are the people I play with.

I think this all comes down to personal preference. I don't know what I will do yet.

Doesn't PSN+ fix most of that?

NIEEEETTHERRRR. I'll take that money and invest it into my PC where I can use a fking remote to play. My connection is faster. I don't need to pay extra for internet. I can watch all my movies on one screen. Play game on another, and read webpages on another.

My games would also be 30% less than console games. And if I wanted to watch anything on the big screen I'll just have it bluetooth'd or hook it up to a projector and watch it.

I'll also have you know after Microsoft released Xbox 1. Microsoft stocks dropped and Nintendo and sony went up. rofl

I love my Xbox, but i'm slowly transitioning towards my laptop (Alienware m11x). I'll more than likely pick up the Xbox one, though.

Also the ps4 has nothing to offer aside from blueray disc playing.

I've owned the first Xbox and the 360. I don't play games that much anymore, but if I do get the next console, I think I might try out the PS4. My Xbox is starting to get boring.

I was just simply saying that I wanted them to go back to including the downloadable content in the price of the original purchase.
Or just wait for the game be cheaper and in most cases they doe come with all the dl content. For instance Batman Arckham City which I got for 20 bill and dl content. BTW its one of the best games I've ever played.

We have two gamers in our house. The fact that the new xbox games are going to be tied to a single account means it will be a no go.

PS4 for us (eventually).
