http://www.ps3court.com/images/network.jpgReading through the latest version of PlayStation Magazine, it seems as though Sony is trying extremely hard to put the pressure on Microsoft’s Xbox Live service. The article gave a few hints on what is to come such as online game footage and video blogs which can be shared with other people. PlayStation Magazine also reports you will be able to view your achievements and game highlights through the service.

If you want to upload your own videos and photo’s, those who own a PSP have the ability to use its Eye Toy function. The article seems to show a “Lifestyle” theme for the service, which is the fad of the moment for most marketing companies. Perhaps a marketing idea, or simply a coincidence its not known at this point.

The launch date for the online service is still not yet known. It is hoped widely throughout the PlayStation community that the service will roll out around the same time as the console.

Well lets just hope that it's better than it has been.

"PlayStation Magazine also reports you will be able to view your achievements and game highlights through the service."

Haha, a lot like the X360, that is a great feature and I am sure it will make the Ps3 Even better.

Looks cool but I really dont know if they are going to be able to mathc Xbox Live. Have any of you ever played live. It is near perfection. Everything is so well organised and it just runs so smoothly that you cant help but love it. I really think that Sony is going to copy as much as they can from Xbox live but copies are never as good as the originals.

I really dont think sigs apply to this type of a situation. I just dont theink they can make it as good as the already near perfect Xbox Live.

well, that's the plan. lets just hope it works out. sony, in my opinion, has the 360 beat in graphics, and games that have been anounced. so, if they can topple gameplay and online play, sony will be the king of next-gen.

but remember..... it's gonna be 200$$$$ more than xbox360...... and as soon as halo comes out... ppl will buy 360 instead of ps3

1. because it's cheaper
2. cuz they get to play halo 3 on 360........... halo alone has caused one of my friends to convert to xbox.....


all i gotta say is that sony BETTER have a really, really, REALLY good graphics engine...... and the online CAN'T be tacky, like it is on most ps2 games.....


lol, i hope they fix lag... they have PING servers..... if urs is less than 10, then you shouldn't even play..........


that would be nice to be able to play with people of equal ping, cuz u could have better games....


also, online NEEDS, i'm talkin' NEEDS an EXCELLENT buddy system for ps3..... it's way too hard to keep track of buddies when they get different games.......
