I think the PSN is progressing nicely, considering Xbox Live had a 4 year head start. Its just like the game situation with the PS3 and the 360, which is just not starting to even up a little bit between both systems.

You dont get perfection right away. Personally, ps3 online works fine for me. I dont really have the need to talk to people so I can hear some snot nosed brat screaming at me after he’s killed me once, even after Ive killed him 10 times. What the chat function is used for and what it should be used for are two different things.

It should be used for collaborating with your team, or talking about the game, not screaming and acting like an ass to someone you dont even know.

Fifty dollars a year for Xbox Live (less than the price of a single new release) is well worth the robust online and communications features. I would gladly pay PSN the same price for the same features. There is no real comparison to the ability to communicate with the other gamers you are playing with. PS3 continues to be a great single player system. Since I have both the Xbox 360 and a PS3 (and a PSP), to me, the only real difference is the online. I know that each system has exclusive games but I am covered there. I have both COD4 and (had) GTA4 for both systems and the graphics aren’t noticeably different. It really boils down to your enjoyment of playing online. If online is “not your thing” then it won’t make any difference.
