Eh what you on about...
Since ps3 came out i had the 60gb version i only knew a handfull of people who had them so playin online was allright just not fantastic so i sold up.
Now i got it again i enjoy it as much, play against a few lads on here some for ages now and we get a laugh, inviting people is piss easy,
when mw2 came out the servers went mad for the amount of online players there was so it took them a day to sort it out and its been fine since, it also depends on peoples connection aswell.
As for psn beeing s**t then take away home, and ask yourself isit still s**t? Because you cant nessecary say it is because it does everything you wan its also stylish and not Cheap lookin as the xbl, i payed 1month to see if i would like live and after 2days i hated it, because it looks childish and belongs to kids!!
I got my PS3 from NYC in February 07, trust me I've seen most of the stages of evolution PSN has gone through...so I'd say I'm experienced enough to give an opinion.
Don't get me wrong it's nowhere near as s**t as it was at early on but it's still s**t. Invites for games are clumsy and rarely work, i.e. MW2 (took them till 1.04 to resolve the problems btw not a day
) relies upon the Sony presence servers which have a substantial delay between refreshes. It's rare that my friends don't get the stupid error message about the session no longer being valid even though I'm sat in a party lobby on my own waiting for them and leaves them unable to accept the invite (although joining in session seems to be working a lot better now). If you think I'm the only one unhappy with PSN then go jump on the PS forum or blogs lol. Like I said if a subscription PSN was introduced I'd pay for it as long as they actually introduced things customers want, i.e. cross game chat and simple working invites.
Home, a fantastic point. Why did and do they still bother? Don't get me wrong the concept is great but after a two year delay on release and the costs involved it's a waste of time and money. Most of my friends have never used it, I've only been on as I for some unknown reason got a beta code for it. I've not even been on it since the Redbull island got added and it was still w**k then. The time and money spent on Home could of been throw at making PSN user friendly and stable, but sadly it wasn't.
And I can't compare PSN to XBL from a personal point of view as I've never actually used it, just seen it in action when I've been round at friends and it is, as said above, a hell of a lot better and more polished than PSN...and probably always will be.
I love my PS3, I'm just not overly keen on PSN or the way Sony ignores consistent and prolonged customer requests and complaints.
