PSN !

Hands Down. not gonna change my mind

i had an xbox for 4 months right around the release of halo 3 and at the time i would say the live experience was pretty good compared to the psn but i found the online gaming experience to suck on the 360 compared to the ps3 alot of lag in every match no matter when i played compared to the ps3 which was here and there... but my answer would be the psn experience is better i dont see what the hype is bout the 360 i owned one and didnt like it enough to keep it... i still couldnt get away from the ps3 at thats with the pressure of having more people i know on the 360! and if your worried bout friends u meet new people to play with home does help out alot with that too because of the game launching and when they do meets... but if your a cross game chat kinda person your still gonna have to wait for that its the only thing the 360 has over the ps3 at this moment... this is just my opinion though of course... all i can say is go with the system that has the exclusive games you wanna play

tHanks a lot guys you really help answer my question.  Anyone looking for an xbox 360?? hah

Edit 13:40:01 My next question would be which ps3 version do iget?  My intentions for my ps3 are going to be to stream. Music movies and play video games I have no ps2 games and I have enough comps with Linux on it.  Do you think slim would best?

Streaming and watching movies are done throughout all the PS3's
All you need is a program to send the files over (since I'm using a PC, I'm using WMP).

Xbox live was around since XB1, so yeah it is better, but not FREE.   M$ has had a HUGE head start with on-line play, DLC, and so on.  Sony is only mimicking it...  Sony's is only better, in this case, because on-line play is FREE, that's it.

get a slim it meets your requirements. also run java ps3 media server http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/downloads/list

jon you should try it too

I have had XBL since XB1 days, and I have never had any lag while on-line. I guess I just do EVERYTHING right...

What games have you played? Try going on GEARS OF WAR 2 without lag.
Or perhaps my internet is inferior to yours? Who knows.

i have both and recently i have been playing alot of xbox. and i agree with jon that 360 lags alot, but that is only on gears of war 2. i think they both are practically the same the only thing that probably is better on 360 is cross game chats and invites, as well as voice messages. But the psn is free so it equals out. they might also get cross game chats and stuff in ps3 soon too.

gears, cod 4, halo 3, cod 5 ive played on the 360 and they all lag not to mention u got alot of cheaters on live using the lag trips i found my experience on ps3 online better fair you will have some lag but not to often and i dont have to deal to as much with the online cheaters that plague live!

The lagging is due to the people hosting, on Internet connections that do not have good upload speeds.

That's funny, i just found this out a couple days ago. I play fighting games and so most/all of them are P2P. One of the main people I play online with is always hosting because he has the best connection. When 3.0 came out I asked him to do the connection test because it includes a speed test now (try it out)
Mine was about 10.5mbitps download and just under 1mbitps upload.
His was 3.1mbitps download and 4.7mbitps upload...
Yeeeah, so I had never heard of anyone having a higher upload than download speed before this, he has like the perfect connection for hosting but his download speed needs a lot of improvement.





PowerSlave, is you online gaming setup just plug and play or have you actually tweeked anything to get better online gaming performance?
