I've always preferred the PS3 set up to the XBOX 360. The new menu system that came along to accompany the release of Kinect I think is even worse than the one before it.
I think the PS3 offers a fantastic free service and having owned a Gold account at one stage I also agree with many that Live subscribers try way too hard to justify the price of XBOX Live. I have no problems with Microsoft charging for a service that takes up many resources to run smoothly but for the money it simply does not offer all that much more than what Sony provide for free.
I was looking forward to comparing the demo of Dead Space 2 on both consoles the other day but to try and justify a Gold subscription to play a demo of what Sony let me try for free is ridiculous.
