Xbox gives you a FREE headset when you buy your console, does the Playstation 3? no, and Bluetooth headsets can sometimes be annoying e.g., you can lose them very easily you end up having to charge them every single day which can be frustrating, also how many times can you hear somebody echoing on PSN? or even hear their whole family talking because they have a cheep headset, yeah all the time.

OK, first I'd like to point out that I'm not a fanboy; I have both consoles, and they're both great, with their own pros and cons

Xbox Live Silver is free, ok. But what can you do on it? Pretty much nothing involving online gameplay. What can PSN (free) do? Pretty much everything that XBL gold can do, minus a few things, but in my opinion, those few things aren't worth $50 a year.


Xbox gives you a FREE headset when you buy your console, does the Playstation 3? no, and Bluetooth headsets can sometimes be annoying e.g., you can lose them very easily you end up having to charge them every single day which can be frustrating, also how many times can you hear somebody echoing on PSN? or even hear their whole family talking because they have a cheep headset, yeah all the time.
When I get on xbox, it makes my ears hurt. The mics that come with the console are the crappiest mics ever. Everyone sounds the same, with the same nasally quality and tinny sound. On PS3, the mics sound perfect, where you can easily distinguish between players and the quality doesn't make it uncomfortable to listen to.

I admit, this is a good feature, but PS3 has youtube, which probably can deliver a far greater selection than this, but not with the same sound quality

Yeah.... everyone of these beat MAG LOL

I'll put a list of all the PS3 exclusives at the end of this quote, and IMO most of them beat all the xbox exclusives

Also i forgot to mention you can send voice messages to your friends... and have up to 8 people at once talking to each other whilst everyone is on a different game......

This is supposedly coming soon to PSN, but this is also one of the great aspects of XBL


Here's the PS3 exclusives:
