Pay for online?

--------------------------------------------------
Okay, so as far as the actual hardware goes, it looks like at minimum they're on the same sort of level now.
Add to the fact that Xbox 360 has amazing software including more A,AA and AAA titles, an unbeatable online service and loads of great stuff still to come, it's going to be pretty hard for die-hard Sony fanboys to find anything to complain about!
(also keep in mind stuff like 360 hasn't got forced installs, it has the option for installing game to HDD to prevent disks not working, there are loads more downloads on XBL and 360 has loads of features on XBL coming like the sports thing and also the new Kinect features!)

isn't cross game chat avaliable on PSN+ now, so that should be a yes technically, since Live costs for online anyway, and isn't PSN+ an optional upgrade so you still have the free service?

i'm just stating notes i've picked up, since i'm not really a gamer, and didn't watch E3

I would say that cross game chat/part chat and pay for online are more of software, not hardware. But PSN is still free, there just is an optional paid service.

No, PSN+ still doesn't offer Cross game chat. Just discounts and early betas....

Actually that's true.... but I'm thinking it's hardware because it makes use of the headsets like Blu-Ray makes use of the disks despite films being like games and count as software.

You need to pay the 50(+?) fee for PSN plus though. Or have a bunch of friends that have PSN plus.

Makes sense. But I still think pay for online is a software thing.

PS3 has had party chat for a long time. Just not cross game chat.

Still pretty much the same. There is no huge Gap between the 2 consoles as there was before (The 360 Failure rate). They are both on the same level in every way. The only difference is the 360 library. It gives us the edge over the ps3.

PSN Plus is such a waste of time and quite honestly I am angry at it. Why should the consumers have to pay to get access to online content. I know they are saying bullshit like exclusive early content, but in fact, they are just delaying the content for the PSN free subscribers.

Can you give me evidence of that?

Backwards combatibility:
Ps1 is a different league to ps2 and Xbox. I'm not mentioning that Xbox has compatibility with loads of arcade games because they're a much older generation. Yeah it has backwards compatibility to a certain extent but wouldn't you much rather play ps2/xbox games?

Yes psn is optional but the fact remains that if you want everything psn has to offer you MUST pay. Just like if you want everything XBL has to offer, you MUST pay.

The new PSN isnt much, just free games, Quore and other small things. I would say that it really has anything else to offer.

if you add ps1 games into the mix that means that the ps3 has more A,AA,AAA games than the 360 and original xbox combined

I say the Xbox 360 Slim is a much better value than the PS3 Slim in terms of what you get with the 360 Slim you get a 250gb hard-drive, the fastest wifi on the market (I do not care about wifi though but its nice for people who do care), and a lot more content on Xbox Live. All only for $299.

1. BS, Even if you did Zune HD Marketplace has a huge library for 1080p movies.
2. Yea, but I think he was refering to BC for last generation titles.
3. Yea and XBL is free is well lol. You don't HAVE to pay. 2 can play it that way.

PSN is free to play online, what has been free will stay free, PSN+ is optional features. And streaming and Marketplace are two different things.
