Xbox Live Arcade gets a lot of pub, but PSN has been putting out better and more original games for the past two years. No one seems to want to admit to it. Yes, Microsoft gets a few great ones like ‘Splosion Man and Shadow Complex, but as I have begun downloading PSN games, I’ve finding some true marvels. Shatter is better than 95% of what is on XBLA. And Trophies work much better for downloadable games than Achievements. Do you work harder for anything in gaming than the measly 200 points offered by XBLA games?
from IGN's XBox Editor who says he's switching to PS3.
he continues on why he, Mr. Xbox himself is now switching to the ps3...
PlayStation Plus
It costs $60 for an Xbox Live Gold account. The benefits are, pretty much, being allowed to play games online. PS3 gives that for free. While PS3′s online past is horrendous, it’s gotten much better these days and most games on the free service are on par with XBL-enabled titles.
The real winner for gamers is PlayStation Plus. For $50 a year, you get a bunch of promotional deals. It’s like buying a gamer’s version of a Costco membership. You get all kinds of discounts (great if you buy a lot of downloadable games) and free games. Yes — FREE games. I downloaded all five episodes of a season of Sam & Max. Something I wouldn’t ever pay for, but free for PlayStation Plus members. There are tons of great deals on the store and in two weeks, the membership has almost already paid out.

I recently traded in my XBOX Elite for the PS3 slim with Move.
All my friends have PS3's so I was tired of not getting to beat them online. That said, the updates to games are terrible, seems like every day I'm downloading some form of an update and all the while I'm doing the update I can't do ? . Just sit there whilst I'm transported to the early PC gaming era whilst my game does some form of installation. Gran Turismo is the worst, one update took an hour. AN HOUR! We're in the broadband era and you're going to release a patch that big? The PSN network isn't as robust either.
That said, I'm a big fan of the PS3 and feel more confident that it won't die on me like my previous XBOX. Seems like both systems dropped the ball in different places this time round, next generation they should buck their ideas up, especially if Apple steps into the race with their own console, or transforms the Apple TV into a gaming device.
