idahoblue said:See, this is the first I have heard of Last.FM integration, that's pretty cool, not sure it is a system sellerThanks though. Also, a bit OT, but what do people mean when they say 'better integration'. Is it that much better for someone who only plays online very casually, or does that just mean cross game chat?
Let me put it this way. If I play 360 offline, it feels very, very wrong, even if I am playing a single player game. It's weird.
There is nothing technically limiting PSN from being the same way, but I think MS made some good moves as far as packing in headsets with every console/most peripherals and the first mover advantage, good marketing of XBL and online gaming, and having a strong core of the right features from day 1. For whatever reason, the online experience is more rich and integrated generally speaking.
I think that for someone such as yourself who plays online very casually, there isn't much value in Xbox Live. Last.FM is cool but definitely not worth 30$-50$ per year. I use live because I don't have any other options to play Gears/Halo/VO:OT. The perks are just an added bonus and while I could probably live without them, I won't because right now it's the system with the games I want to play.
-edit- I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy just about everything about XBL. I didn't mean to come across that way. I'm just saying I could probably take a feature hit if it meant playing online for free. For the time being though, I won't and since Halo Reach is coming, I probably never will.

God, I haven't had a Live subscription in such a long time. It has been totally not worth it in my situation (most friends have a PS3, lack of free time, Gears of War 2 being total balls, US-specific features not offered in Kanuckistan).
I've been thinking about getting another subscription, but then I remember Mass Effect 2 is on the horizon.

Actually I imagine that being quite simple. Just use a packet sniffer and see where your packets go over the course of several games. Dedicated servers should be in the same IP range, while P2P traffic should be all over the place.Woo-Fu said:
Anyway, over 3 years I never even felt that I was missing anything by not being on Gold, except one time when I wanted to download a demo. And then it was decidedly a feeling of annoyance rather than a motivation to "upgrade".

I said this a few pages back, and this is it before I bounce, but Gears 2 online is awesome now since most recent patch. Quick matchmaking, good netcode, and bullshit being totally fixed (goodbye, knockdown smoke grenades. Thank god).
People actually play the game with machinegun/cover being primary tactic. Yes, it's some kind of miracle.
If you still have your copy of Gears 2, see for yourself. If you don't, I don't blame you, I was so frustrated with the online back in 08 I sold my copy back after finishing the campaign!

It's been accumulating but was always kept in check by having the better library. Now that Microsoft has canned a lot of studios and sent Rare to die on Avatar pets and Natal projects, there just isn't any need to restrain from crapping on them.
It was ALWAYS a "bad" system.

I've said this a few billion times but really the only justification ought to be a desire to play their exclusive multiplayer games or if you only have a 360 OR all your pals are on 360 exclusively. Feature sets will always be a losing game for Live Gold.gofreak said:

Guess I just don't understand what your getting at. The 360 has an impressive exclusive library in 2010, and the mulltiplatform titles 9/10 times run better on 360 than on PS3

And a lot of the hate PS3 got was well deserved. All the ridiculous PR Sony was spouting out was finally catching up with them when 3rd party games ran like shit on PS3 and the $599 price tag was hard to justify.

GAF, or any internet message board, always has stuff to hate on.
Anyone who was here in 07 knows that the PS3 used to get wayyy more hate than the 360 does right now. Sony got their shit together so that has died down substantially. But man I for one remember the days of 599, no trophy, no in game bar, horrendous multiplatform ports, losing exclusives left and right, and "no games". The hate was intense.

Yeah that seems like a sensible position to take.sillymonkey321 said:
For the record, when people talk about the ridiculous climate of grotesque disdain for a single console and, by association, it's userbase, they're talking about posts like this one.

I have a newer system too and it still runs louder than my launch 60 gig PS3. Not that it matters, because if he judged consoles by their noise, the Dreamcast would be intolerable.
and I just remembered the reason I think paying for Xbox Live is dumb is because even back on the original Xbox you had to pay $50 to play online without any advantages the 360 now has. Now that was ridiculous.

Can you point to the multiplatform games that have an OBSERVABLE advantage on the Xbox 360 released this game which are out of any relevance (80%+ meta)? I can only think of Bayonetta.
If you are now going to post a list of 23 titles that ran at 0.9% higher framerate with a little less jaggies, than that's fine by me, but I would recommend switching to PC if you can actually notice that difference, because you're probably gonna get staggered when you see games in 1080p with 4xAA, 16xAF, 60 frames etc. etc.

the thing is, I might be wrong, but I don't see that huge difference in gaming catalog this year between 360 and PS3, I mean, I've read many people claiming PS3 beat 360 by a long shot and I don't feel that way.
I gotta say I'm a PS3 and 360 owner, and I've enjoyed great games for both systems during last year

Nowhere near what it was in 06/07/08, but still some turds here and there. Ghostbusters and Bayonetta being the biggest offenders of last year IIRC.
"a lot" is the breaking point.NIGHT- said:
9 or 10 times better is just an overstatement.
You don't see Eurogamer's comparison saying that PS3 versions are practically unplayable. All they say is that one version has a slight graphical difference, and it mainly comes down to how dark you want your game to look.

differences between multiplatform games on 360 and PS3 used to be bigger a few years back. however anyone still interested or curious about the differences should take a look at Eurogamer's Xbox 360 vs PS3 Face-Off Rounds articles.

This reply sums it up best. Being able to have a conversation with someone playing a completely different game, send or receive voice, text, video messages, and party invites while playing games/watching movies, and the >90% headset usage make LIVE worth it for me.
If none of these features, or the larger online communities and certain 360 exclusives are worth it to you, I can see why you'd balk at $50.
Unrelated, but I also find it easier to find new/popular demo and video content on LIVE vs PSN, simply because of the way the stores are set up (the default presentation on PSN is alphabetical, which is stupid).

Yeah, the difference between PS3 and 360 multiplats is so small that it's ridiculous how much attention it gets. I mean the difference between the original Xbox and PS2 multiplats was huge compared to what it is now and people are actually making a bigger deal now. The difference is so small that the quality of the TV the user is playing his games on probably has a bigger effect on overall image quality. I know that my cousins swear the PS3 multiplats look better but I know they don't, it's just that have a sweat 52 inch Bravia TV and they play on cheap no-name TV's.

again terribly sorry for all this
JWong said:
No he's right, multiplatform games still tend to run better on 360 than ps3 which is annoying since i'd much rather own them on PS3 after dropping Gold and having my little 20GB hard drive almost full outside of being able to install 1 game at a time. Dragon Age performs better on 360, same with Assassin's Creed 2, and of course the mentioned Bayonetta.
Durante said:
No. I own a ps3 and 360 so obviously having the choice between the two i'm going to want what's best. If i ever do build a pc ( not too keen on the idea but with all these steam sales it's got me debating it) THEN you can factor in the glorious PC versions BUT the ps3/360 comparisons are still relevant.

why? my htpc can't run most of the actual games and I just use my htpc for basic features, I don't use it for gaming. I have a 360 and a PS3 so I like to know which version runs better, I don't see what's wrong with that.

It's just so silly seeing these debates about minute differences when -- with most multiplatform titles -- a greatly superior version is available, usually for a lower price, and the latter isn't even mentioned. It's like people debating the merits of McDonald's and Burger King while ignoring the gourmet restaurant right in front of them. Actually that comparison works on multiple levels I guess.sillymonkey321 said:

I don't think you understand what 9/10 means.
9 out of 10 times, 360 games run better than their PS3 counterparts.
Not, 360 games run 9-10x better than PS3 games.

Some people are overly picky, most of the "better" and differences in visuals are minor and you won't notice unless you were looking at side by side pictures really. I mean really I can usually get best visuals on PC but sometimes you just gotta take a console version for couch fun or in my case, having something to play while I exercise on the treadmill.

I don't see nearly as many PS3 fadatars as I expected in this thread. How am I supposed to tell which ones the fanboys are!?! (Though I appreciate that gofreak is still rockin' it old stylez.)
I am impressed to note that with like two notable exceptions, all the both accused and legit PS3 fanboys in this thread have higher gamerscores than I do. :lol
