but it isnt, take this in to perspective for one minute, XBL has charged XB users since 360, a minimum of $60 for a year of service, PS3 still does not charge for PSN, yet on the Christmas day attacks, XBL was still knocked offline, granted for less time but it still was able to be hacked and attacked.
now let me ask you this, rather than trying to convince yourselves that Xbox is better because of your online infrastructure, that doesnt even help you if you dont have a strong internet connection, why arent all Xbox users more upset at microsoft? the amount of money Xbox users have funneled into XBL over a course of 10 years , to me at least, seems very unacceptable, lets not even go into them forcing Kinect onto their player base and forcing them to pay $100 for something that will rarely or never be used

My $5.00 a month or $60.00 a year helped build Xbox Live to be a better online service and I'm ok with that.
-
again, if by "better" u mean is still able to get taken down by the same thing that took down PSN but youve paid MORE money over a LONGER period of time, thats not acceptable
-
I have been on Xbox live 10 years and was off line 1 time. 2014 Christmas for 2 hours so yes better and I have a ps3
-
i have been on PSN for 10 years and have been offline 3 times, so that $600 u put into the servers dont seem to have helped much
-
I had a PS3, please do not try and justify PSN, the connections on multiplayer games were average at best! Plus when does XBL go offline for maintenance ? I'll agree on kinect though, whilst it's a good bit of kit, actually works this too I might add, it's still a gimmick.
-
average at best is fine, we never paid anything into PSN, thats the point.
-
So your saying you'd rather have a " average at best " free service, than a decent working service that you have to pay £30 ( $45 ) for? Ok......
-
no, im saying you paid that money and it still doesnt prevent your servers from being taken out in a hack, so all that money did was allow microsoft to get their servers back up faster, do you think thats worth a minimum million users at $60 per year over 10 years? i cant imagine that is acceptable to you
-
" paying money only allowed them to get their servers up faster " Yes then I'm happy. Plus we don't go offline for maintenance.. I can't image your happy paying money when you can't get online...?
-
doesnt bother me one bit, im at work and if i cant play video games for a day, my life doesnt end, however, if i was putting my money into something that was just as easily attacked as the servers where people havent paid as much money as me for not 1/10 the amount of time i had been, that would upset me
-
Why do you keep bringing hacking up??!?? Connection wise Xbox live is better, regardless of hacking. Look your clearly a PS fanboy, whatever I say I'm going to be wrong, your opinion your allowed one yada yada. Let's just leave it at that.
-
Xbox live was never hacked.
-
1 million users minimum paying $60 per year over 10 years and you think its acceptable that Microsoft can be hacked just as easily as PSN? tell me more about how i am a fanboy lmfao
-
look youre clearly an xbox fanboy and cannot comprehend that you wasted your money, i get it, lets just leave it at that
-
Wasted my money on...? I'm no fan boy.I own both systems. Scroll up, I admit ps has better specs and output. I just think XBL is better.
