PlayStation Plus announced at E3: $50 / year
Jun 16th 2010 1:55PM (Engadget)What's better about Xbox Live? I own both consoles, so here are my observations....
Hmmm, let's see...well, I can chat with friends while NOT in a game, or if even we are in two different games, that I could NOT live without. They were the FIRST to have things like Netflix and I really enjoy the Zune support.
My biggest complaint with the PS3 is updates. Get sooooo excited to play a new game, tear open the packaging, only to have to sit and wait. And wait. Why do I have to wait 30 minutes to an hour for game updates? What if I only have 2 hours to play that night? And don't even mention system updates. Maybe if Sony would actually manage their OWN servers instead of handing them off to a 3rd party, I wouldn't have to turn on my 360 to entertain me while I wait for my PS3 to update. Paying for Live doesn't bother me because I'm paying for quality. Haven't had a single problem with Live, ONCE!
And no, it's not my internet connection. I pay a pretty penny for bandwidth. My 360 always updates in LESS than a minute. Literally 10 seconds for an update, reboot, and I'm playing.
I will admit, I am biased towards the 360 partially becasue of the TYPE of gamer I am. If you like RPGs, shooters, etc. that you like to play with others, the 360 is the way to go. If you like racing games or sports games, buy a PS3....
I haven't touched the PS3, except to watch a movie, since GOW III came out. I get on my Xbox almost every night....
How do you decide which console to play?
Mar 27th 2008 2:00PM (Joystiq)I will buy a PS3 here soon with yummy tax money, but I guarantee you it will mainly provide our unused Wii some company while we are off playing the 360...
