      From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlaySta...twork_Platform

      PlayStation Network Platform is the online service to be provided for use with the Sony PlayStation 3 video game console.

      It's currently in development by Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) Europe with the Sony Online Entertainment. Parts of PNP will incorporate the Central Station (already working in Europe) and a possible integration with Connect.com marketplace.


      --Services--

      On March 15 at the 2006 PlayStation Business Briefing, Sony confirmed that they are preparing for an Xbox Live-like online service named PlayStation Network Platform (PNP).

      The full list of planned services for the PlayStation Network Platform is as follows.

      Communication/Community:

      Account created through user registration
      Lobbies/Matchmaking
      Scores/Ranking
      Game data upload/download
      Presence/Friend List/Avatar
      Voice/Video Chat
      Messaging

      --Commerce--

      Shops (can be accessed from inside games)
      Content Download
      Game boot from HDD
      Subscription
      Selling item by item
      Micropayment
      Entitlement Management

      --Account--

      User Registration
      Login ID/Handlename issue

      --Comparison to Xbox Live--

      Unlike Xbox Live, a similar service provided for the Microsoft Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles, the PlayStation Network Platform will allow licensees to connect their own game servers to the network. SCE will provide a common infrastructure for the service, but the PNP will use the standard Internet.

      Also unlike Xbox Live, Sony will offer a PNP "basic" service that will be like the Xbox Live Silver service, except it will offer many more features including voice/video chat, messaging, ranking and service updates for games. Where Sony's basic service has a leg up on Xbox Live Silver is the ability for gamers to play multiplayer games online for free, unlike Xbox Live which requires you to pay for a "Gold" subscription card.




      Are you still confused?

      You do not seem to understand that if the online multiplayer service is "free", the developers who will use their own servers will have NO incentive to strive for quality. It is an open system and it is up to the developers. This was the case with the PS2 and it was inferior to XBOX LIVE. It is going to be a mixed bag and you will not really have the quality multiplayer compared to a closed network like XBOX LIVE. It is really the same setup with new features added on. Something is just not right and generally if something sounds too good to be true it usually is. IT is an open network and quality cannot be assured.

            60 gigs is correct chap. Check out IGN's PS3 news.

                      It's obvious you have an agenda. 90% of your posts are in this thread, you're obviously not at Operation Sports to talk about sports games or sports. We all know Sony is not beyond planting posters in forums.

                            I don't doubt that whatever Sony comes up with for an online network, that it will be much better than what the PSP and PS2 currently have. But I think it's a bit premature to make any kinds of declarations as to how it compares to Xbox Live.

                            Xbox Live doesn't just work good in theory, its been working well in practice, and Sony does appear to be following Microsoft's lead here. I haven't really heard anything original yet from Sony, that I think Microsoft doesn't have or hasn't already announced for Xbox Live. I'm sure as the years go by, there will be things that are better about each service, but for the moment Sony has a lot of catching up to do.
