XBL versus PSN

Online play is one of the most integral aspects in the next-generation consoles. Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo are the 3 big company which handle their services although different though.

XBOX 360 versus PlayStation 3

XBL which stand for Xbox Live isn't free if you want to go online for popular games, but their payment plans really aren't bad at all. Moreover, you can get a lot considering what you pay for like Netflix, party features (joining chat groups and party watching with the aforementioned Netflix), and more fast access to online content like trailers, previews, and downloadable games.

Thus, some people accuse Sony's PSN (PlayStation Network) of being "ghetto-online"(this one actually just like a site where we can get free online games) while it's free with a neater interface, it's actually less efficient and takes too much time to navigate. It also lacks some of the features of XBL, but in place of that is a useful Internet browser. For now, PS3 and PSP users can be satisfied because knowing that they don't have to purchase anything further than their system, but that may change in the future, as there will be adding a fee to certain aspects from PSN based on discussion amongst the Sony.

By the way, don't feel too bitter if I didn't give much information about the Wii. It's not because that I hate the system, but honestly I really not interested with this console and i dont know much about this console. Besides that, from the information that I have, it's got an even more basic online interface than the PS3, and its friend code system is arguing to put it lightly.
