It's not just that it isn't slow.

It's fast as fuck. Next time I download a new game or a large update, I will literally record it.

I'm such a fanboy that I criticized the fuck out of Sony's decision to make PSN a paid service rather than a free one, and took over a year to purchase the system based on that decision alone. Yeah, what a fanboy thing to do.

and still continue to claim that that there's nothing wrong with PSN (despite hard evidence to the contrary) and continue to claim that a slow archaic stapled together me too! is better than the vastly superior XBL "because it was free" and that it's also better than the superior free online networks offered on PC "because PC is the worst thing ever" while simultaneously proclaiming that out of the last gen consoles the 360 was the worst thing ever despite outperforming the PS3 on almost every metric

There IS something wrong with it: You have to pay for it now, because of the precedent set by XBL.

It WAS better because it was free. If PSN wasn't free during generation 7 but XBL was,  XBL would be indisputably better. But that wasn't the case.

Quote

PC is the worst thing ever.
Quote
while simultaneously that out of the last gen consoles the 360 was the worst thing ever despite outperforming the PS3 on almost every metric
It had no games. PS3 did.

By that logic, I'm also a Nintendo fanboy, because the Wii was infinitely better than XBL because of its free online services, too. It's not that I'm a "fanboy" for any particular console or developer--I just hate the fuck out of the Xbox, because every single iteration has been a steaming pile of shit. XBL was a fucking joke.

Yes. Give me free Internet, or your online service is shit. Period. If you don't agree with that, you're retarded. You shouldn't EVER be okay with spending money on something you shouldn't need to.

I am.

Something that is free yet functional is better than something that is functional, yet has to be paid for. That's about as close to an objective, logical fact as you can get.

then start gaming on PC, not only do you have the most freedom of choice when it comes to how much you want to spend, but you have the most options and every multiplayer game is going to have free online unless it's a pay to play mmo


when you enter a closed console environment you should know what you're getting into, MS, Sony, and Nintendo get to set the rules for their playground

i'd hardly call posting an actual informed opinion about the current state of PSN being an xbox/pc fanboy but ok

Yeah, kinda like with what I'm doing. When PSN is just objectively, provably fast for me, you've already lost the ability to describe your opinion as "actual" or "informed."

And yes, you are a huge PC shill--always have been--and you are shilling for Xbox right now just as hard as I'm shilling for PlayStation. Which is to say, not at all. That's just your petty, loserly logic being used against you.

I hold no special allegiance to any one console. I just know what's better.

No one intelligent cares about specifications or anything on a technical level. What's important is if it works and if its free.

PSN works and its free. Or, was. Now it just works at a reasonably fast pace. If it's slow for you, that's not PSN's fault. You just got unlucky. Sorry.

it wasn't, but ok

and even if it was "it works for me" is not valid when it comes to computers and technology

we're working with averages here and on average PSN is notoriously slow

Wasn't what? Your opinion wasn't informed? I already know this.

But it works for me.

Therefore it's not "notoriously slow" for everyone.

Prove it. Anecdotal evidence isn't allowed.

I'm right because I say so isn't logical verb. You haven't actually proven anything you've said. On a technical level PSN is inferior to XBL as shown in the reddit post I linked. XBL does better than PSN in this regard, but it's still not perfect as they do the same thing that PSN does, but just not as bad.

I don't really care if you don't personally believe the that the tech supporting your preferred playground doesn't matter, but many others do. To everyone else when that shoddy tech leads to things like the multiple hackings and shutdowns that have happened to PSN over the years coupled with the incredibly lax security standards (jesus christ why would anyone ever store their consumers log in information in plain fucking text), and the current issue of download speeds that may have been fine back when PSN was first brought online but are now woefully behind the times today as IT has made progress in strides since the early 2000s these things are going to be problems.

the 360 had more games on it than the ps3, that's indisputable fact and the few exclusives people generally think of as good that came out late in the consoles life cycle also went to the PC a couple years later, everything else worth playing was also multiplatform meaning you could also play it on PC and 360 thus giving them games to play, it also means that they ran better because the ps3 was proven again and again to be a worse performing system due to the shit castle that was cell architecture


i realize you don't actually care because anything that contradicts you is wrong and you won't actually read or look at evidence that contradicts your opinion unless it comes from a select few people, but hopefully people who are actually interested in reading some technical information on why people are experiencing slower than average download speeds (as well as how to improve them and why its improving them) on PSN instead of playing SDF will be able to learn something

Right. So it's a good thing I never said that. You're free to believe that paying for an online service is better than getting one for free, but I'm just gonna call you for what you are. A retard. Retards spend money on things that they could be getting for free. That is a retarded thing to do.

I'm retarded because I pay for PSN. That's very retarded of me. I should be boycotting PlayStation right now, but alas, their decent library of games and excellent, incredibly fast online service caused me to cave in. At least I'm still not paying for Xbox or stuck trying to find a game worth half a shit on Steam.

Why should I care.

If it works, it works. And PSN has the better games, so it balances way the fuck out.

Which was a non-issue for non-retards. Don't use your fucking online video gaming account as a goddamn bank and it's not a problem. The servers being inaccessible for an extended period sure sucked, but it doesn't make PSN worse.

XBL has been hacking into your wallet and stealing from it since its inception. But you're perfectly fine with that. Fanboy.

And THEY ALL SUCKED.
