Can't agree with this they still have much catching up to do.

http://www.psu.com/PSN-no-longer-playing-catch-up-with-XBL,-says-Lempel-News--a007715-p0.php

PlayStation Network boss Eric Lempel has insisted that Sony’s online service no longer has to play ‘catch up’ with Xbox Live, and believes in some areas PSN actually offers more than its Microsoft counterpart.

"... at this stage of the game when I really look at PSN and the entire offering I think we're in great shape. I don't think there's a lot of “catch up” [with XBL] anymore. In some cases, I think we've got more, and we've got some other things they don't have,” Lempel told IndustryGamers.

The executive went on to highlight several key aspects of PSN, including the fact the service is free and offers a number of popular attractions such as PlayStation Home, as well as the ability to purchase movies via the video download service.

"I think there's a lot we're doing that in some cases they're not doing, and I don't see a lot of things they're doing that we're not," said Lempel.

Yup and they don't need a price cut either or Activision support. I swear Sony may have the most cocky statements ever.

Which is why PSN performance CONTINUES to be f@#king $#!tty. Can't even get 4 or 5 SFIV matches with someone before the dreaded 'lost connection' message.

Is it any coincidence I don't have that issue with XBL?

You get what you pay for, kinda hard to support the service adequately from limited revenue. I would imagine their user base would be larger since it is free for all thus degrading network performance even more?

Arcmanov · « **Reply #1867 on:** July 10, 2009, 09:05:06 PM »

So how come I don't get disconnects on XBL? Ever? Perhaps TSTT install some anti-SFIV-on-PSN firmware on
my modem that I don't know about?

I can't even switch if I wanted...and I done already decide I not giving Flow any more money.
So XBL it is...at least for SFIV. All others, including SOCOM work fine.

ViCe · « **Reply #1868 on:** July 11, 2009, 02:04:59 AM »

well arc alot of ppl on my friends list experience problems wit blink

Well, I guess everyone has their own experiences. For the most part, mine is not what you described there.

I will admit though, Flow's prices are 'better', but after what I see they doing with the
cable-TV service with respect to these so-called 'packages' and rates...well, let the sucking
of the nutz (mine

) commence.

What would happen if the Flow service in your area goes down: you just lost TV and internet.
Sorry, I just can't go for that.

ViCe · « **Reply #1870 on:** July 11, 2009, 10:17:15 AM »

well net more important to me, doh watch da much TV anyway
and wen net goes down, cable still works
haven't really encountered a problem where both net and TV down

flow is very reliable where i live. hardly ever goes down and if it does it's not for more than an hour.

TheApprentice · « **Reply #1872 on:** July 11, 2009, 02:11:07 PM »

Indeed... so its either crappy service often..or crappy service once in a rare blue moment.

But lets stop ragging on blink lol...

chinarakinda · « **Reply #1873 on:** July 12, 2009, 04:49:16 AM »

@Arc
When flow internet goes down the cable does not go down

it on two separate lines or something. Both have never gone at the same time.

Hey

I just wanted to say that with regards to my PS Store purchase query, I bought one from Maximus Cards http://www.maximuscards.com/index.php?ref=wtfzmtv32c and all is well. I'll be getting another soon.

Thanks to all who had suggestions and options posted. This is really a forum for learning.

By the way, that bypassing region blocking allows you to do what exactly regarding the PS Store? I know it can be used in other areas but I wasn't clear on what it aided with in the PS Store (or PSN)
