(Yes, I realize XBL is the shiz-bomb-blat most of the time for those that use it. Perhaps I'm just being a pissy-pants because NXE killed my HDMI audio.)

Well, it's a beta.

And as an added bonus, Live is way better than PSN.

Dear sir math is clearly not your subject (but I'd give an A on Fanboyisom 101)
and PSN lack of what?.. connectivity problems? payment for every account? payment for f***ing picture backs?!!!

I get called a fanboy at least 3-4 times a week on this site. The funny thing is, sometimes I'm a Nintendo fanboy, sometimes I'm a 360 fanboy and sometimes I'm a PS3 fanboy. Honestly people, either we're throwing this term around way too much or some sort of space-time-continuum thing is going on.
I spent a fuck ton of money to own all of these systems and I think I've damn well earned the right to not be called a fanboy anymore. Pointing out the advantages and flaws of each of the systems -- and yes, they each have advantages and flaws...because they're different from each other -- does not make one a fanboy.
PS3 costs more money but comes with free online service. The PSN is alright for what it does but it's not as good as LIVE. I've been a Live user since the original Xbox and a couple little bits of unstable service aren't gonna make me stop now.
That being said, the PS3 comes with built-in wireless whereas the 360 has a $100 add-on. See? They each have their pros and cons.

Well, you forgot to add the cost of a wireless adapter, a harddrive to store updates, and postage after having to send your 360 off to china 30 times in a row.
I'm not going to start anything, but the Arcade really is a bit decieving, overall, you get much less of the overall experience and you pay much more than the retail price.

I specifically mention the god damn wireless adapter. Holy crap.

Kinda shows which service you like more now that I think about it.
11/15/08
But if the same thing happens this year on XBL, people have more than enough reason to bitch as there was significant reason to bitch last year. After all you are paying for it.

"We didn't anticipate the number of people on Live! being as high as it is... Take this free game that's doing really poorly in sales XBLA."

I think I've been playing too much TF2. When they said engineers fixing it, I pictured some guys whacking away at a big computer.

Microsoft Head - "Our fans are screaming for blood, get us a developer willing to give them a game for free, STAT!"
Microsoft Croney - "Sir, none of them want anything to do with it, what do we do?! What do we do!?"
Microsoft Head - "Keep looking! There's got to be SOME..."
Microsoft Croney 2 - "Sir! Reports that the Undertow developers are depressed and stoned on Zoloft!"
MS Head - "Get them on the phone!"
Undertow guys - "yyaaahh.. whatchoo want?"
MS Head - "Good news! Your game is being touted as the favorite XBLA game that nobody wants to pay for. They love it, but they need to play it first. You let everyone play it, they'll buy your next game in droves!"
Undertow guys - "wwwweeaaally? Oh, jat makesh me so haaaaaapppeeeeeeee. Give t'them, Give t'them!"
A Few Months Later:
Undertow guy 1 - "Dude, they fuckin' lied to us."
Undertow guy 2 - "Shut up and pass me the Klonopin."
