There was a time around the launch of the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 when the internet was filled with vitriolic bile from fans of both consoles, with both sides arguing for the superiority of their own console and the flaws of its nearest competitor. We had to endure pages of arguments on internet message boards, patronising Youtube videos and even executives who couldn’t hide their distaste for the competition.

Home can hold as many players as there possibly can be and it will still be free. The only games you'd probably have to pay for is Online RPGs. Just like on PC's. So its not such a bad thing. But at least you have the choice what you want to pay for. Unlike 360 where you HAVE to pay if you want to play online. Also, the services 360 offers, Sony can always add those services in later... for free. And do you know why Sony offers it for free? Because they want more people to use their system. The more the people use it, the more they'll like it because its free, then the more they'll buy stuff for the system, which will make money for Sony in the end. As you can see, Sony thinks about everything in the long term. Which is why Sony is so succesful. And before you say how Sony is failing with the PS3, remember the word... LONGTERM... Resistance is 40 player online and its all free.

It's nice being able to voicechat and all that, but not £35 per year nice - to me anyway. I own a Xbox 360 and a PS3 and I have to say the difference between live and psn isn’t worth the cost.

Wii is just a powered up Eyetoy. Very nice to play with friends a couple of times (if nobody gets injured...), but you'll soon put on some good next gen (I mean PS3 or 360) game, where you can really spend hours playing without getting bored... As per the 360, it is probably even with PS3 at the moment, but to have most of the stuff PS3 comes with, you have to spend much more money. We should also consider that PS3 is already (apart from Gears of War, but let's wait Unreal Tournament 3 and we'll see) on the same level of the 360 which has been out since 1 and a half year. When PS2 came out we had Fantavision, now we have God of War 2... I expect by the end of this year PS3 to show some of its true power...
