Lol as an owner of both, neither service is perfect. My Xbox came up faster, yes. A quick fix from Microsoft I presume. Not even an hour later, the service is s*** again. My theory is that Sony is finally fed up with these stupid attacks and crap from "Lizard Squad" (which really can't be avoided, DDoS is achievable by anyone with enough money that wants to be a prick) and their beef with North Korea and this new movie coming out. While both of my systems worked this morning, I feel like Sony has put more effort in preventative maintenance than Microsoft did.
