FormerStaff HATED ON
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So my father in law(lady's father), builds and maintains government network servers. He told us on sunday that if he owned the psn it would be up on tuesday, have already caught the hacker(s) himself then warned all users of the network that he was going to start charging for the usage of PSN just like XBL.

Then he said, but since he doesn't own it, that the PSN will most likely be completely restored, without the hacker(s) being caught on the following tuesday. With more security precautions that they have to pay for so they will most likely will start charging users just like XBL.

Besides: "cool story bro".

What i'm actually looking for is:

If the PSN does start to charge but their servers are more up to par as XBL's are. Would you stay with ps3 and pay for the subscription, or would you say eff it and just switch to Xbox, because their servers are already up to par?

IMO, I think that it would be more worthwhile to pay for the subscription, see if things are better for alittle while, connection wise. If not I'll purchase xboxes and keep the ps3's just for the first party releases and play all the third party releases, on the xboxes.

ps£ is far superior to an childish xbox. if we had dedicated servers psn would be even more better, i for one am not even affected but the whole oh my god im lagging thing which people go on about, if you lag just leave the game, its no you its the host half the time so go get a decent lobby.

cod is the only game i have ever lagged on.

and paid PSN would be alot better and they would have money to spend on it (not saying they havent got the money to already) but its free and enjoyable.

Can’t trickshot me!
1st who would be dumb enough to enter their credit card details on psn again.
also psn accounts aren't secure i mean it's easy to get someones email and hack them for their account after they have paid for their membership.
xbox360 on all levels is better than ps3 if you used to own an xbox buy 1 now if its been a long time since uve played it, youll noticed how better it is.

Funny?
Really, When Ive played on Xbox (only cod) it goes really smoothly,
but on PlayStation there is so much lag, and No its not just the host or my internet connection.

lol you have something wrong then hahah ive hads both consoles and the amount of features ps3 has is great its the small things that count aswell..

why would we want a gay little avatar thats childish, we have a console to game which i suppose thats a xbox's job, but the ps3 is a 'gamestation' media console.

the connection its exactly the same, even better on ps3 if you tweek it in the settings.

the only thing i would say the xbox has over the ps3 is the fact the profiles load quickly, messages open faster and auto syncing achievements. but then again im not fussed about that atall.

im sure people can agree with me. im not trying to cause a flame war or console war but it it easily the superior console.

i see your getting a m11x so good luck with that! lucky boy!

Quite alot of you are saying if PSN charges you will go get a xbox. Funny that you will be spending a extra £200 on a xbox then £40 a year on the subscription(unless you already have a xbox then i don't mean you). So you guys are willing to give up your playstation because it will charge you to go to another console that would be charging then same price.. That makes no sense. When you could save the £240 for the PSN. You guys are too childish one bad thing happens and you all jump ships.

i understand that at the moment the connections on xbl are better than the psn's. but if psn made the change to charging and then made their connections and servers better wouldn't it be pointless to make the switch?

it would because either way your paying money and for what? it becomes a fanboy war question per say. thats what it really boils down too, at the moment we all know that xbl servers are better than psn's right now anyways, because you pay for them to keep those servers intact. your getting what you pay for. we don't pay so it didnt' matter how well our servers were intact on the psn. but if we are paying and they are fixing their servers to function more properly, why bother to make the switch??


The features offered for online on xbox are great. Like the party chat I really like that one. If they charged for psn they would have to have that.

Also PS3 would have to get the map packs at the same time as xbox too if we were paying for psn.

I think sony will probably charge now too because all the CC problems, they are going to get suied real bad (I hope)
