Cross-game chat
A LOT faster downloads
A lot easier/faster to get around.

Bout the only thing. If you have most of your friends on live, which is the case for most people, then it is worth the $5 a month.

But if you have a good connection and one service is still a lot slower than the other....

No... navigating the XMB to accept messages/invites and even access you own trophies is inefficient at best. Its bad enough to really take opinion out of the equation. I have spent at times more than a minute waiting for trophies to sync.

IT sounds like you only have the one system, so let me just say that I like my PS3 more than my xbox, but PSN and XBl are still not comparable.

XBL is worth the $.

Xbox Live haters just need to face facts, some people can afford the finer things in life.

I don't prefer having a fee for xbox live, but I own an xbox and I want to play online so I pay for the fricking service. If you feel like you're being ripped off, then don't buy it.

I don't see what is so difficult about this.

I have both the 360 and the PS3

Most of my friends are on XBox Live.

I think the fact that all of the games have a very similar system of getting multiplayer up and running adds a lot of value.

I think it is easier to get a multiplayer game up and running.

I like that if I want to shoot the shite, we don't have to be playing the same game.

I like ESPN3.

IMO, it is well worth the money, and I think the hate the PS3 guys have toward live is hilarious.

Just have your parents buy you one less happy meal a month and you can afford Live.

all of that is your opinion. You think it's easier to navigate Xbox, and for you i'm sure it is. I'm sure there are plenty of people who think PS3 is easier. It's all subjective to ones opinion.

Correct, i only have PS3, which is why i haven't said PSN is better, because it would all be opinion.

Finally someone who gets it

No hate towards XBL at all. I preferred Xbox over PS2, but choose a PS3 because that's what the majority of my friends played. I have no complaints about it other than the service outage. Which sucked.
