Rattles said:It sucks cause...
Home isn't mandatory.
It don't shove ads in your face.
Theres not enough screaming ediots in online.
It don't show what people are doing in thier pre 2009 games.
It don't cost $60 a year
And it don't have cross game chat.
Fix this shit $ony
Sethos said:I feel it's a barebone, lacking service and no, being free doesn't make up for it whatsoever. I'm not tight on money and I am more than willing to pay for a streamlined and well rounded experience.
Plus PSN downloads are oddly enough still slow after all these years, apparently that isn't an isolated issue.
I am on both Steam and PSN and neither feels like a community to me.An-Det said:It's a fine service with a bunch of great features, but it doesn't really feel like a community to me like Steam or XBL do.
RSLAEV said:I mean, why can't people log on line with their PS3s and using their PSN accounts to engage in discussion about a game with other PS3 owners? Why isn't there some kind of official sig generator that people can use when posting in forums that shows their PSN accout info and stats?

mochuuu said:You can do any of those at us.playstation.com.
Sounds like your beef is largely with Home. While Home isn't for everyone, I can tell you the people that do enjoy cultivating their online personas REALLY get into it. It's like any other game really, it's about the time you put into it.
Replicant said:Also, why would I want to talk to someone while playing different games? That'd be distracting.
kyo_daikun said:Would be nice if it was easier to report people who decide to send me 10 derogatory messages after they get butt hurt playing COD, yeah they get ignored but people who think this kind of stuff is suitable need a reality check or need to chillax.
A week ban may disuade them from sending other people shit in the future.
This is all I use XBL for. It's the same fucking shit, but free.djplaeskool said:I can play online.
I can see when other people are online.
I'm good.
Cold-Steel said:What do you mean? There's a Grief Report option for all of the messages you receive.
For example, if you're on BLOPS and are finished a match. Drop back into XMB, go to your Received messages, hit triangle on the message and go down to Grief Report. Takes like 10 seconds maximum to do one.
kyo_daikun said:Never noticed the option, never heard of Sony taking action against this kind of thing either, will use it in the future tho thanks.
GraveRobberX said:Every time there's a discussion, XGC (cross game chat is considered a deal breaker) always comes into play
For some the $60 fee, yes $60, that is how much XBL costs, (yes you can go look for deals or wait for them too come along, but that alone tells you people don't want to pay for it) this feature is the be all, end all feature (include party chat in there too). If you think it's worth it yes, go ahead pay. From my viewpoint I think it's ridiculous to pay for those features.
We can banter back and forth of why this service is better and here are the reasons why, the main reason is friends and personal choice.
You missed Lince thread of him being banned due to talking some smack, and getting owned in the process
Full Force of the LAW!

GraveRobberX said:It's better cause you aren't paying for it, that extra money can be used for other gaming purposes
You can go do bullet points of what XBL and PSN features and what it lacks, but until you can tell me that paying to play online is a better deal than having it free then I will say PSN is better deal than XBL
God damnit. That's the last time I ignore a thread just because the OP annoyed me. I remember reading that OP and immediately closing the thread. How did I miss this??GraveRobberX said:You missed Lince thread of him being banned due to talking some smack, and getting owned in the process

Man, that was hilariously pathetic and I can't stop laughing. Thanks for pointing me in that direction man.GraveRobberX said:You missed Lince thread of him being banned due to talking some smack, and getting owned in the process

I'm satisfied.
BoilersFan23 said:There's no way they were going to bundle a headset when they were already losing a lot of money for each console being sold. They could sell a bluetooth headset separately and profit. More so made sense financially.
LuchaShaq said:Doesn't make it the right choice when it comes to creating an online community.
Doubt you defend Microsoft for charging tons for wireless/hard drives/multiplayer just because it makes sense financially.
Also both companies are insane for not bundling a 3$ hdmi cable ugh.
LOL. Lince got exposed. I remember reading that thread too, but closed it before all the excitement happened.GraveRobberX said:You missed Lince thread of him being banned due to talking some smack, and getting owned in the process

Roto13 said:Considering 95% of people who play online are obnoxious fuckwits, I'm pretty ok with the fact that I don't have any emotional attachment to any online gaming community.
I hate you all.
