Gobble that glory, glory Tim.
I didn't personally because I use an ethernet cable and always have done, and it didn't seem to bother people enough to adopt the console and Xbox Live, as history's shown.
It's about £2 a month for an infinitely superior service that contains all my friends.
The best was the wild Viva prediction that somebody else copied.
:lol :lol Kagawa to score :lol
Hey Timerda. Rumours that we're interested in Ogbonna. What do you think?
"Infinitely superior service"
This post must be from 2005. PSN poops on XBL for everything but party chat.

Not PS4. There'll be stuff behind a paywall, but the basic service will be the same as it is now.

Why would Man Utd fans be bitter? They're the footballing equivalent of Paris Hilton
yup Sony ain't leaving that cash on the table
It WAS a much better experience. The Xbox menus have gotten more laggy and cumbersome with each update for the past 3 years, too few sane people talk on Live anymore except in parties and it suffers from the same latency problems as everybody else. It's probably still better than PSN solely for the social side but not by what it was a couple of years ago or so.
Sony definitely underestimated the appeal of online gaming when it came to party chat or online community in general. They've done a lot over the years to rectify that problem, but initially dropped the ball and lost serious ground to MS.
Huge mistake if they don't include their standard Bluetooth headset in the box with their next console. It's wonderful that you can assign any Bluetooth with the PS3 & Vita; however, most people are not going to buy additional hardware for something they may not be sure--or realize--they even need. You have force it onto those people before it clicks.

I'd rather pay for PS+ than XBL.
Microsoft put Netflix behind a paywall. Hilarious. I'd rather have all those apps accessible without having to subscribe and still have the option of paying monthly for an instant video game collection that continues to grow.
Once they add party chat to PS4 there's no way in hell anyone can justify paying for XBL.

Fry's desperation is palpable.
Delicious.
Delicious.
Exactly, because Sony made yet another fuck awful business move thinking they'd win over the masses offering a free service, forgetting that quality matters, and costs.
It's actually a post from reality. Party Chat, and by extension the friends list is the primary reason for investing in the service. To play and communicate with your friends. It's more than worth paying £2 a month for. If party chat didn't exist I probably wouldn't play videogames at all.
And you go from a 360 to PSN, it's horrendous. Thousands of shitehawk updates that take hours to download and install. Terrible, just terrible.
I've never once noticed a substantial, or even apparent increase in menu lag and I've been using the service since 2005. Neither have the people I play games with.
It's too late.
Sony will charge for online on PS4. You'll cry, or probably come out in favour of it, but the mass market UK consumer will buy the new Xbox. I go where my friends go, and my friends go where I go, and we all go to Xbox Live. It's online gaming for the vast majority in this country. Which is why I couldn't give a fuck about worldwide sales numbers.
I dunno, ask Sal or Viva. Sal still dislikes Benitez.
There isn't really much to be bitter about when you're the biggest club in the country to be honest. Certainly not compared to the level of bitterness that might build up over, say, two decades of mediocrity.

Avatar bet time.
I bet that you won't have to subscribe to any paid service to simply play online on the PS3's successor
Sal's captain irrational.
He gets too easily wound up by RAWK, or Rodgers, or in this case, Benitez. He's as bad as the RAWK posters he writes poems about, but he doesn't see it. It's quite funny, actually.
Looks like you already lost an avatar bet.

What do you think I'm bitter about?
Even discounting the many problems with the Metro UI in general, it has taken far longer to do anything in XBL in game than it did when NXE first appeared (and even that wasn't great to begin with). That's also forgetting that PSN doesn't force every user to use said menus rather than doing everything (invites, messages etc) in the game.

The Vita has party chat so it's a given in PS4. Sony will expand the LiveArea concept too I imagine, maybe by allowing to post custom messages on them, rather than just preset updates and trophy unlocks.
party chat is great in fact the money I save talking to my brother on it instead of ringing his mobile pay cross border rates is easily more than the cost of xbox live. Gaffers wanting sony to go balls out on the PS4 but want it to be cheap only going to happen if they can subsidise it with on line play
You sound bitter sometimes. Maybe you're just trolling and I get the wrong idea.
I'm not bitter. I respect Man Utd, and have nothing to be bitter about. Liverpool's time will come when Fergie retires.
It's called Skype.
Your on big boy
Like doing what?
I don't spend any substantial time in the Metro UI anyway, I boot up, use the guide, join a party, and play a game. That's as fast as it's always been. If I'm doing something on the dashboard, like searching for a demo, I just search for it. Don't see where the outrage comes from?

Not surprising that Napoli's statement sounds like it's coming from the mouth of a mafia don, given that it's Napoli and De Laurentiis is a fucking thug: THIS IS A GRAVE INSULT TO THE CHARACTER OF NAPOLI, THE MOST MORAL-EST CLUB IN THE WORLD WITH THE MOST TRULY HONEST AND MORAL FANS IN THE WORLD NOT EVEN JOKING HERE FOR REALZ.
Second press release: If you are the pregnant wife of a Napoli player, or, in fact, a player for our team, do not park your car outside our stadium. Except, of course, if you own a vespa which is required as a getaway vehicle for Don De Laurentiis.
I think the success of PS+ will keep the actual online portion of gaming free for Sony. There's really nothing bad to say about PS+. It's a great value that programs new online users that buying digital is simple and easy.
It's shocking how much of the general gaming public have no idea of the games available to them online. That's on LIVE or PSN. I've had very strange conversations with people at bars and Gamestops about games and when I mention something like DLC or downloadable titles, they have no idea it even exist.

My avatar has win
at all costs
One thing every online service needs:
The ability to customise your friends' instant profile. I want to be able to label the people on my Friends List with the things that make them familiar to me. I have dozens of people on there, and I don't know if they're from here, RAWK or Gameplay
@operon, I'll get me a Ferguson avatar of your choice if I lose. Who do you support?

No, Skype is not a console. It's a free app you can download on your computer/phone.
Moving away to University I've managed to keep in close, almost daily contact with 90% of my male friends from home. We've still got as good a rapport as we had when everyone left, and it makes it easier for us to catch up when we're back. That's worth the slim price of admission, to me. And that's forgetting the hilarious water colour moments that exist when eight lads are laughing and joking around playing games.
With the PS3 I'm sat their in solitary confinement, borderline depressed.
He trolls but not in a lunchbox way
it's been 7 years since the current consoles launched and the price of components has come way down since then. There is absolutely no reason why either console can't have the specs of a medium-high PC and still retail around the £300 mark at launch. What will cost the most money, as always, will be the additional components, like Kinect 2 and the Wii U tablet. If the rumours are to be believed, the PS4 won't have such a thing.
Also, Sony knows that a portion of their userbase refused to buy a 360 solely because of paying for online play and they seem to finally be enjoying some success with PSN+ as it is. I can see Sony charging for some 'advanced' features but keeping the basics free, while MS will have some sort of multi-tier pricing.
My my Frank, you're looking slim.
You know what I mean I can talk to my brothers all in a party play the same games or different ones with in N. Ireland and them in R of Ireland.

Do I even troll that much? Didn't think I trolled more/less than most people in this thread...
Yeah it's a nice feature. I wouldn't use it much personally as I don't want people talking to me when I'm playing a single-player experience.
Only time I use voice chat is when playing online games with friends.

Actually, I can totally see Sony making party chat a PS+ feature now that I'm thinking about it. It's an easy addition to ad to the list of features that the service already provides (online storage) and they can use Xbox Live's inclusion as justification to that rationale.
Ideally, both of those would go free for all and PS+ would remain about the games and discounts. But I can totally see where Arn is coming from.
I think exclusives was the main reason for this. In 2005 Sony still had monsters like Final Fantasy, Metal Gear etc while Xbox only had Halo and a few other smaller franchises like PGR. Now though, it's a level playing field.
He is a quality ball playing defender. He was in and out for the last few months due various injuries and a hernia. A lot of big clubs like PSG and Man utd want him. Also, shit clubs like inter, AC milan, and Rubentus want him too. I read that Cairo (owner) wants at least 15mil for him. I don't see him going to newcastle tbh. If he was to leave, he'll probably leave in the summer.
