Sometimes yes and sometimes no.GAF CHEAPER IS NOT BETTER!!!!!
PC is more expensive and get better versions of games.
Steam is cheaper than XBL and it's better.
Many people on Gaf don't like to pay to play online, that's a fact.

That's not proof just a really good case to be made. Proof would be a benchmark as one could easily do with all the variable involved. Show me a benchmark showing that wireless or ethernet that a PS3 cannot match or be within 15% of the total of an xbox 360 throughput and I might shut up.
For someone talking about infancy you do it well and could end it with real facts instead of useless forum conjecture that only contains zealotry. Neither side has proven their case yet if one side wanted too they could do it like the pc boys do it and benchmark. There is nothing to stop various people here packet sniffing and making real tests besides people who don't want to eat crow or look stupid. I'm not believer in either side but if I was I'd have something to bring to the table.
Of course it's proof that people are having issues, unless it's your contention that we're all lying. What more proof can there be that we're having problems than stating we're having problems with PSN that we're not also having with any other service? You need a case-study to determine we're not all liars? Please. "Zealotry"? Not an ounce of it. I don't play that game. You're seeing whatever it is you want to see there for whatever reason you feel the need to see it, but there's none on my end. Don't project that on me.
Let's ignore people that complain about Xbl speed too then /Sarcasm..

Don't need to lie to misrepresent an issue for your own sake. Stating you have problems isn't my contention. My issue is that you don't have any real stats considering you aren't sony or ms on the amount of people having such problems compared to the whole. There is no way on the net to accurately gauge such a claim you are making considering it's not total and just what a biased engine or person can find.
That number is far far lower. I almost never see anyone complaining about that.

Google is biased against Sony in favor of Microsoft? Fine. The other search engines also show a huge disparity of people having speed issues with PSN. Gamers complain. Those complaints show up in search results. Its obviously not a scientific method, but it doesn't take much work to determine that there's more people complaining about PSN speeds than are complaining about XBL speeds.

Aw man now he lost the tag.Does this mean someone is going to die for our sins (meaning a banning?)
Edit: just noticed the OP got Juniored haha
Good lord are people really stupid enough to use Google search as evidence?
xbox live slow download --About 6,220,000 results (0.16 seconds)
playstation network slow download --About 1,730,000 results (0.19 seconds)
Oh shit! Prooooved!!!
Aw man now he lost the tag.
Funny timing, Major Nelson just tweeted about how he doesn't like intrusive ads.
Didn't he quit Microsoft, or was it just his division?Funny timing, Major Nelson just tweeted about how he doesn't like intrusive ads.
Aw man now he lost the tag.
PSN is shit because of server shutdowns that happen on Xbox 360 as well?PSN is the system with games constantly getting there online shut down. I can still play PD0 and COD2 online today. and COD 2 still has enough players to get a game.

I dont think its fair to single MS out for ads, as they are pretty much everywhere these days. But it is nice to use a system where screen real estate isnt taken up by them.
Guys it's on a podcast that PSN is slower, wrap it up, nothing left to see here.

He's talking about game servers and mentions that he can still play launch Xbox 360 games. I doubt he's talking about regular server maintenance.You are referring to scheduled maintenance? Well it happens to both systems but PSN it happens A LOT more. I wonder the ratio of downtime of PSN:XBL is anyway
One thing that gets rarely mentioned by anyone when comparing the quality of the two services is the fact that Sony's structure puts them in a position where they cannot compete with Microsoft when it comes to digital releases.
