XMB battery meter glitch 'definitely being corrected'

yeah typo ftl. When you turn system on, mine at least is on downloaded games, and always on flow.

I wasn't talking about that!

Can the 360 stream music IN-GAME? That's what I want to know as that's actually the only feature I'd like that the PS3 had.

where are these adds people keep bitchin about? unless you talkin bout the ones in the Spotlight section. That seems better than the way it used to be. arguing about which service is better to me is like arguing about religion, politics etc. you get nowhere fast. pick one, deal with it and shut the hell up.

Yes, the 360 can stream music (or play music off of an MP3 player) in-game.

Okaaay... I didn't know that. I'm actually impressed!

the streaming over the network though can be spotty at times making it more annoying than anything else. I suggest getting a 500GB HDD for your PS3 and being happy. Though that isn't so easy on the 360

Overall I think PSN does everything I really need and it is free to boot.

I have both systems, and honestly, the PSN isn't caught up to XBL yet, but it has some features I would love to see on XBL.

For one, though, until they add mandatory Trophies, full custom soundtracks (including streaming from MP3 players and PCs in game) and cross-game chat, they are not caught up in the slightest. There's also the fact that going into sub-menus of the XMB doesn't allow you to back out just by pressing the PS button. You have to back out fully to the XMB, then use the PS button, which doesn't make any difference at that point. Make those menus close with the button, it'll be much faster to check things and get back to your game.

One thing I would love to see on XBL is free themes (user made especially). Unfortunately, that's the only thing I want on XBL that the PSN offers. Party chats with people in different games is awesome, and even more awesome for having a group of 8 on Halo 3 planning in the pregame lobby without the other team hearing. It allows strategy and makes things feel more war-ish, less like a game when only you can hear.
