quote ParadoxOverstatement. List all the games which were markedly inferior on the PS3. You'll definitely get a few, but you're just exaggerating there.That doesn't make up for most of the games that have more bugs at release. They're ironed out in the first couple of months, but it's horrible buying a multi-platform game, especially an RPG, on PS3. Hack and slash games (with the exception of Bayonetta) are fine but when we get into more complicated games the PS3 version has a lot of problems.
quote ParadoxCan't miss what you aren't used to having.It's weird how people here say that Cross Game Chat isn't a big deal when the Platinum Community chats together in a text chat every day. Wouldn't it be better if you guys had cross game chat so you didn't have to go in and out of XMB to discuss shit?
quote redneonfishActually all that is irrelevant, ps3 actually makes better use of the ram then the 360 in terms of games, skyrim being laggy is simply the devs fault. When I say allocate the ps3 OS has so much ram it has access to, this ram is a very small amount and games are cut off from using it. The 360 has the same which is also a very small amount but it's more then the ps3 and enough to use the OS better during gamesplay. The main reason for this is Sony never intended the OS to be used in game.The 360 and PS3 both have the same amounts of ram. It's the way they both use them that differs. The PS3 has 256 dedicated to the CPU and 256 to the GPU whilst the 360 has a combined 512 between the CPU and GPU which is better, because if the CPU (or GPU) require more, it has access to it.
I believe the PS3's ram allocation is the reason why Skyrim is laggy. Doomed Soul is therefore correct in saying that it's impossible for Sony to fix the 'problem' this gen.
Whilst the delay in replying to messages in game is sometimes annoying, it's never made me think "the PS3 is a total piece of shit and i'll never play it again".
As for the PS+ vs XBL Gold debate. I'll repeat what I said earlier. It depends on how much you use the store, if you hardly buy anything don't get it. Simple.
quote Aragorn VzlaFair enough, but I'd only play for PSN Plus if Sony magically added Cross Game Chat or a community that actually likes to be social online. The few people with mics on PSN are with a group of people anyways, it's a shame. Sure there's more idiots on XBL but as long as you stay away from CoD you're good to go.Paradox I only pointed out some games that perform better or have additional incentives to ps3 users because you generalized the fact that multiplatform games run better on the xbox 360. The majority run better but not all of them do.
My point is I rather pay 60$ to test a new psn game a month for a year than paying for xbox live when you shouldn't, that to me is like paying additional fees to use my phone after I've already paid my phone bill. And that can be said as well for the ps+, the automatic updates and some of the features that are ps+ only shouldn't be paid for since they are incorporated in the features of the machine. Cloud saving and free games and discounts I can understand since those things are optional. The ability to program your machine so it turns on at an specific time is not, since you can do that with tv's and other other electronic devices.
quote Aragorn VzlaExcept I'm not the one that brought it up and I was just commenting on it. The XMB and XBL still falls under the topic of this thread, 'online', but he had to mention a bunch of anti-Microsoft (I'm pretty anti M$ myself) shit. I don't know if he was venting or just wanted to criticize the 360 for the something everyone knows already because people called the PS3 OS bad.quote ParadoxWell nobody was asking what you thought about xbox live nor the xmb, The topic was about if ps+ was worth it. I say it is, and I also recommend getting the 3 month to try it out for yourself. It'll be worth it anyway and if you don't like it at least you didn't pay for the 12 month deal.They aren't valid because no one cares about your points. No one is talking about the 360s failure rate or exclusives, just online. I don't know why you're talking about that stuff anyways.

But that last one would be like my opinion man.

quote Red 9The difference in game is negligible Sony should of allocated more to the OS but when they made it they didn't intend for it to be used in game at all. All in all it's a minor thing but impossible to fix this gen. MS just isn't good at making games, on both the dev and publisher side hell.Well, everyone knows that the 360 has better allocated/more RAM, so it has that extra elbow room to supply the OS the ability to do what it does. The PS3 has less, and focuses more on the games themselves than the OS. Which I feel is the proper way to go; I bought my PS3 for the games it plays, not the OS and the doodads it has.
