Features comparisons don't show the full picture. PSN takes way longer to download anything and usually comes with an install requirement that can easily double the time, plus it's more frequent than xlive. Mind you, it's a small price to pay for free-to-play online and I agree but still relevant.

Regardless this has been said since the xbox came out, yet people buy it and will thus continue this way. It's all about what people perceive as value to them. Similar to how Apple have dominated with higher prices and less features. Buy whatever you perceive as higher value to you, it's as simple as that. I doubt this article will persuade people who have known this for a long time.

Just so you know, Black Ops doesn't have dedicated servers for either. It's all based on peer networking.

So, I need to pay to get Automatic Patching/Firmware-Updates? :p

It's a poorly worded title for a service, what it does is check for games you've recently played, and download those patches in the background when you ps3 is dormant if one is available. IE: Automatic, once a day (I believe) checks without you having to play the game.

If that were the case then the Xbox wouldn't be selling more consoles than the PS3.

Technically they're not. The 360 had a roughly 9 million console head start at PS3 launch - that lead is now under 2m.

I use to think PS+ was a Ripoff but now i Tryed it I Love it.

+ we get close to 400-500 NZ Worth of Free games for a low Sub cost. pretty good.. for the Cost of 1 game we get 20+ free.

those "Free" games are like $3 in a walmart bin. I hardly consider that a great deal.

Technically they are...they still outsell the PS3 every single month when you look at the data I provided earlier. Was there a period where the PS3 sold more and closed the gap a bit? Yes. That period has long since passed and the gap is growing once more.

Read the sales data charts.

Read the worldwide charts instead of NPD.

DeusEx:HR and Infamous2 are still between 20? and 30? over here, so those two alone have already paid my one year subscription.

Add Darksiders to that and it's a nice (albeit not uber awesome) deal.

    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.

      So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates.
