mostly doing this poll because now that i have experienced PS+ i have no idea how xbox gold is supposed to survive tbh. I def won't be renewing my subscription whenever it comes up.

O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 18:53 (twelve years ago)

xbox gold is garbage for value if you want free games, but ps3 multiplayer experience is terrible and the netflix client is inferior. IMO

^agreed

there's a Steam Premium?

Idk, I saw it somewhere and didn't want to irritate people

Happy Crayon Party Nintendo Funbucks Ball Pit

amazing

XBL is definitely overpriced at the standard rate considering all you get is multiplayer access and the weekly Gold deals, but since you can pretty easily grab year subs on discount for like $35 it's acceptable. Points cards also generally get discounted regularly - this almost never happens with PSN cards

The usability/interface/cross game chat/etc is miles ahead of PS3, despite PS3 generally having an overall nicer looking interface

I didn't know there was a pay-Nintendo online sub now too. Since the Wii U came out I guess?

And Steam kinda kicks all these guys asses, but you have to deal with all the standard bullshit of being a PC gamer

nah i think the nintendo thing is still free i just didnt care enough to look it up.

i do agree that for an interface that otherwise is much smoother than the xbox monstrosity, the ps+ netflix is fucking super shitty

what's the difference between the X-Box and PS Netflix interfaces?

"Bellini." (DJP), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 20:44 (twelve years ago)

The most underrated awful aspect of the PS3 is the keyboard interface, which is unbelievably bad.

pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 20:45 (twelve years ago)

yeah it took all of 30 seconds for me to go grab an old mac keyboard and plug that shit in

O_o-O_O-o_O (jjjusten), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 20:47 (twelve years ago)

which pretty much takes that complaint out for me, considering i think you can buy a usb keyboard for no dollars i dont know why anyone would try to use the ps3 interface

PS3 is much clunkier. The content is basically the same but navigation sucks.

The most underrated awful aspect of the PS3 keyboard interface is the sound design, which is unbelievably bad.

pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 20:50 (twelve years ago)

haha I saved an old USB keyboard specifically for the PS3 which I then used twice before getting used to the PS3 onscreen keyboard; if it was a Bluetooth keyboard I'd probably still use it but for now I just dazzle friends with my facility

btw I just discovered that apparently you can upgrade the PS3 hard drive, which I did not know

"Bellini." (DJP), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 20:50 (twelve years ago)

i was thinking about doing that, considering my HD will probably be full by the end of the year due to all the PS+ games

Nhex, Wednesday, 6 March 2013 21:02 (twelve years ago)

I am probably doing this tonight tbh, now that I know it's an option

stupid 40 GB drive

"Bellini." (DJP), Wednesday, 6 March 2013 21:45 (twelve years ago)

Steam is how I finally switched to only buying digital downloads, thanks to sales etc

The New Jack Mormons! (kingfish), Tuesday, 12 March 2013 19:13 (twelve years ago)

Steam, of course. I've never cared for console-only games, excepting ICO/Shadow (for which I bought a $40 PS2).

Sanpaku, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 19:27 (twelve years ago)

xbox netflix client is hot garbage

The PSN store has really improved over the last year. Just downloaded another update last night and it seems like they're finally figuring some stuff out.
