Online live is better than the psn, everything else is turd. Whether it's worth it is down to personal opinion.

Be interesting to see what MS and Sony come up with when the new consoles arrive, though.

I'm interested in seeing what they do as well.
If MS continue down the path of giving you nothing for a fee and Sony continue a free service or PS+ where you get lots of stuff,then I may well be going for Sony's next console.

Indeed, although PSN had a shaky start, I think it's maturing quite well now. And PSN+ just tops the scales.

The requirement for a gold sub to access certain things one Live is so stupid, my brother doesnt really game online, and because of that he's unable to access free services? Yes

Xbox live is definitely the more seamless experience when paying, But it has a few niggles, which more than just NIGGLE. lol

Psn+ is only worth it if you dont buy much games. Its a great feature but not if you buy latest releases. And why should we need to pay for games to update automatically or a firmware update? They should be standard since the os system can do it. Same with cloud storage free on xbox but paid for on psn.

Your not wrong its correct its one of many reasons XBL Gold annoys the hell out of me yet i still have it

I really wish MS would just do a similar service to PS+ and ditch the whole scheme as Gold just isnt that worth it

If you have a PS3 you can use netflix on that with no additional sub

I would argue that the reliability, equal treatment between regions with simultaneous releases of content (lol Sony EU, treated so poorly compared to Jap region) and a good party system with cross game chat makes it worth the money compared to the competition.

What reliability issues are there with PSN? I've never really experienced any trouble, although I am a relatively new user compared to some I suppose.

But I rarely have issues with PSN or Xbox live.
