its all opinion, honestly i dont see why xbl is so much better. i have played online on both systems and there is no difference except price. The ONLY thing that is different is that ps3 will shut a server down for a short period of time for maintence every now and then. I only notice this on new games, rare that it happens, and it is only down for a few hours. Also onlince xbox limits everything you can put, goodlicken is accepted on psn, but xbox will ban it. the only thing that should really make the difference is the games you want that the other doesnt have.
