LIVE VS. PSN ONLINE COMMUNITY

LIVE VS. PSN ONLINE COMMUNITY

This is probably overdue but you know what they say: better late than never.

First up is XBOX LIVE where by my second day playing online (using a Gold Membership trial card that comes bundled with a game, of course) I received messages from "lagging noob" to "suck my peepee." Enough said, don't you agree?

Now to PSN where by my second day playing online (free of charge and all) I received four friend invites, got into a clan, got caught up into some lengthy chats and received some messages from "how r u" to "sup dude."

By now, you should be able to figure the difference between the two completely different experiences but before anything I want to say something: I am not judging or comparing the two communities, I'm just describing my personal experience. Nevertheless, I would like to express what I believe is the main reason for the difference:

• The majority of PS3 owners are grown ups (it's pretty much an expensive machine).
• The majority of 360 owners are kids who lack some sense of discipline (most of the user names I spotted had '69' in them or were something like "F ya all neards").

SHE IS SEXY

SHE IS SEXY

Nariko from Heavenly Sword (coming this September to a PS3 near you) is probably the first game character that I would describe as sexy.

If you have a PS3 right now, then there's no reason not downloading the new demo from the PLAYSTATION STORE (and get MGS4 gameplay while you are at it).

MESSAGE

"To the Dark Lord

I know I will be dead long before you read this but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can.

I face death in the hope that when you meet your match you will be mortal once more.

R.A.B."

A few more hours and the whole (English-speaking) world will embrace the last book of the phenomenal Harry Potter series.
