Is Microsoft worried about Sony's out-of-the-box online service? Pffft. Not at all. Xbox Live marketing manager Aaron Greenberg blows raspberries at the PS3's service, calling it "yet another knockoff" and saying Sony's Gamers Days had "so little news in Sony's online announcements." What's more, Greenberg stated:

We will compete with them in the same way we have for the last four years by out-innovating and focusing on community, value, and the content that gamers want. They offered basic free matchmaking on the PS2, and from what we can tell, their online story has not evolved much.

Microsoft does something, Sony gets catty. Sony does something, Microsoft spews venom. Anyone sick of this dog-and-pony show? (The boneheaded comments from Sony execs are still fun, though.) Brian Ashcraft
