PS4 Discussion

Before everyone was complaining about Xbox charging for online but now PS is charging and everyone says " its only 5 bucks a month" Lol

You raise a good point but i think people are more ok with PS+ because you get free games for it each month, refunds and other stuff, so it actually is a premium service that you (might) want to buy, not just because you can play online.

It still would be better if you wouldnt have to of course.

About the online, PS3 PSN =/= PS4 PSN and X360 XBL =/= X1 XBL. Each service has to prove its worth again.
X1's XBL looks promising so far though.

To me the single biggest factor in determining which system too buy is how good the online aspect is. It was the same w/ ps3 vs 360 there fore I went for xbox.

Sure the PS4 looks great on paper but that doesn't mean Sony got their shit together and improved their online. Once the systems are released, if its worth a damn I will consider buying it. We will see!

I see everyone says their jumping ship to ps4 until they experience that dreadful online that PS offers. Can anyone post a link to where and how their gonna improve their online gaming?

Even w/ DRM, I would still buy a Xbox 1 over PS4 until its at least up to par with Live.

really there isnt that much difference between the two services. i've used both consoles and played both of them online, and well, the only thing 360 has over PSN is party chat.

and yea nobody wants DRM. i would rather pay for my online than have manditory DRM. who wouldnt?

I think chaosK above raised a good point too.

Your lying too yourself and everyone reading this if you think that's the only difference. Live net code is and always has been better than PSN. I've owned both systems as well and there is a noticeable difference.

Months after selling my PS3 I purchased another one thinking "maybe I didn't give it a chance" but realized there is a very clear cut difference between the two and returned PS3 after about 2 hrs of their "online".


Edit: still waiting for link of these changes Sony is making to their network.

no, im not lying to myself. there is not a noticable difference. online SC is still online SC, and will always be online SC. CoD is still a laggy POS on both consoles, ect ect. The difference is there, and ill admit that, but its so minimal that its not worth buying a console over unless you really want party chat.

tbh the only one big difference i actually know of is that PSN has slightly more disconnects than XBL. and apparently that is not even an issue if you set up your PS3's internet connection properly.

So where did you return to PSN? on your internet connection or your friends house, which could have been laggier?

Also it could have been just a few laggy games you were playing. 2hours isnt near enough time to judge.

Now im going to tell you again - i play video games for at least 8 hours every day, usually more, and i am constantly playing online and constantly switching between consoles, and i can say with confidence that there is a negligible difference between the services both consoles offer. I honestly think Its all in your head.
