As most are aware, consoles these days are not just gaming on the platform but gaming online. Today we look at the online services that are offered by Microsoft Xbox Live and Sony with PlayStation plus.
The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.
Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.
The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.
I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
A recent trophy list published on the PlayStation Network contains hints that Sony is testing PlayStation PC trophies.
It's been 20 years to the day since Xbox Live brought online play to consoles.
I remember when Live turned five and they had special edition controllers made and everything. Kind of wished they would do that again for the 20th.
Happy Birthday. OG XBL (and later 360 XBL) really revolutionized online gaming on console.
Never understood the obsession with live...but I was gaming online on PC so not sure too much of what live did that the PlayStation didn't.
Today would of been the perfect day to drop halo 2 the original bc version free on gwg.... If only
PS+ beats Xbox Live, no question about it
I have both...and im getting rid of ps+...if you only have a ps4 or you only have a xbox one....I can understand why you would try to value one over the other...but for me theres no question about which I would rather PAY TO PLAY ONLINE for...
Well written article with balanced facts.
Hard to compare PS+ for PS4 vs Xbox Live for Xbox One when Xbox One isn't included in the whole "Games with Gold" Program yet. Once it does, then we can see how they compare to each other.
PS+ has been great for my PS4, but it will be much better once we are getting AAA main release titles and not just indies. It wouldn't be so bad if the indies were all new, but a lot of the titles are just ports of titles that released either on PC or in the case of Dead Nation, the PS4.
Xbox Live is better, the community is wonderful.
