Personally I don't think it is horrible at all and pretty close.

Biggest difference for me is cross game invites which will be updated next month on the PS3. The other difference is to see what others are doing. For example it is pretty neat to seeing what score it is in a game where two people are playing each other in a league or something.

By no means is PSN horrible. It is very close to xbl minus a few nice trimmings on the live side.

I was always a huge xbox guy. My family and friends started shifting towards PS3 and like mgoblue says, you play online where you know more people on. Plus the unreliability of the 360 started turning me off.

PS3 is a no-brainer for me. Free online and blu ray, very hard to pass up.

I own BOTH. I game on my 360 & use my PS3 4 Blu Ray Movie watching. It's a beautiful thing

I'm having a hard time seeing how PSN is very close to XBL, but maybe that's just me. Maybe I am missing some things on PSN. Sometimes I'll sign in to Live to play a game and get stuck watching videos from Inside XBOX or checking out what's new under Spotlight. Netflix streaming only extends the lead. XBL is a helluva lot easier to navigate, for me anyway and has a much more attractive interface among other things.

For the record, I think the PS3 is the better machine. It's more reliable, has the BD player, built in wireless capabilities and when it comes to upgrading the hard drive, a lot friendlier on the pockets. If I didn't have either, looking at what they both have to offer from a hardware perspective at the same price point, I'd go with the PS3 every time; it's a no brainer.

PSN though, is merely serviceable in my opinion, and no where near XBL.

I own both and love both. Xbox Live is better than PSN, even if it costs money. Blue Ray movies kick butt and both systems have some killer exclusive games. If I had to pick just one, I would go with the PS3, because I'm not really an online guy.

The 60gb had 100% bc. As a matter of fact, the only one that didn't have bc at all was the 40gb, but it was the cheapest when it was initially released.

And lol @ the "no fanboy talk."
