Xbox Live increasing in price

[Psychonaut]

PSN isn't that bad, but Xbox Live out does it by far. I don't remember ever seeing such features like cross game chat,cross game invites, or a party system. plus online, not many people have mics, and also, the ps home button, menu thing cant be compared to the xbox guide.

STEEAAM

has all you could need plus good prices and free online


(Also I did edit my post, like literally a second after posting, I just didn't like the sentence after reading it in my head, it came out wrong.)

a note on that, the steam profile/friends is only available if you have purchased a game.

I don't think it matters, which.. but it does matter that you own a game. not sure about gifting.

steam/pc isn't quite ps3 vs xbox.. so i wasn't going to touch that one.

@ garrett, what's the difference, other than a few customization settings being non-existent, and a new skin/larger memory usage?

Yeah, now Steam is something you can compare to XBL. It does everything live does, and it's free.

I just over-all liked the old look, and use. I suppose I'm just baaawing.

yes. yes you are.

I liked the old look immensely, and I miss a few of the features/options, but it's more or less the same steam, and nothing to sneeze at, since it's free with any game.

we got tabbed chat. *censored.3.0* year.

Yeah, now Steam is something you can compare to XBL. It does everything live does, and it's free.

I've used both thoroughly, and honestly think the 360's is better.

Meh cross game chat, you mean with a mic? I guess thats ok, but I play my PS3 to play games, not to chat with people so I wouldn't use it anyway.

And cross game invites, that's just a fancy term for taking the disk out, putting another one in and getting an invite from your friend.

All in all, Microsoft tries to justify its yearly fee with loads of crap/pointless features that people wouldn't use if it was free.

And also, I find the PS3 menu sooooo much simpler than the XBOX one, and two of my friends who have both say they prefer the PS3 one so...

cross game chat is great, i use it all the time to talk to friends who are playing other games, and it makes it much easier to set up a party on call of duty or something. and cross gme invites are great, from my experience with call of duty online on ps3, you could only invite people to play if they were playing the same game.

and no one would use it if it was free?? yeah right, tons of ps3 owners have been wanting the features xbox has.

Facebook integration.

 

[Mr. L]

This is why Playstation owns

That's a pretty lame reason.

That's an idiotic reason seeing as Xbox Live is much greater than PS3's online.

Last I checked, they could send you invites to join their game or party if they're playing MW2 and say I'm playing BF:BC2.

The only thing I've read that most PS3 guys want is Cross Game Chat, nothing else.

I'm still not sure what cross-game chat is. Anyone mind explaining?

Cross-game chat, parties, more people have mics, better matchmaking, less cheating/hacking.

@RiRi- It's where I can be playing Halo 3, another guy can be playing MW2, another can be watching a movie, and we can all talk. Parties can get pretty massive, I've been in one with around 15 people before.

@David-Sounds good, it's got really good multiplayer, way better than MW2's. I'm still a really low level though.

Say I'm playing MW2 and my friend Ben is playing CoD world at war we can talk together.

 

[GetSumSunBK]

That's one thing that Xbox can do and PS3 can't. Atleast i think so. But, i think Microsoft is a cheap, money making company. I have both, 'cept i play xbox more because all of my friends have it.

umm there is cross game chat in steam... no parties, but not sure why you need them, there are groups though to keep an entire bunch of people informed if you were say in a clan or something.

Somehow I doubt that more people really have mics... and even if true having a mic is a coin toss as to whether it is good or bad.

matchmaking? I am happy to say that that is an entirely game dependent mechanism. some games you find your own server to choose, which personally I like, but in others say let for dead, yeah it is more random. But my point is it was something left up to the game maker not the system itself which allows for flexibility, I honestly assumed that is what the xbox did too...

Cheating/hacking? I would like to know how you could possibly know which has less. I have never run into a scenario in TF2 where I thought someone was cheating.... I think this is an entirely false claim

The same CoD game as in Demolition and TDM? If so, your having problems that are unusual, I've done that many times and its worked fine.

PS3 users may want those features, but I don't think they would spend
