I have a xbox 360 and gold live account for online gaming, but I'm thinking of also getting a ps3 I have been told you can use psn and there is no subscription charges which sound's good to me

is the ps network reliable and is there anything I should know before I commit to buying a ps3.

Thanks in advance.

The PSN (Playstation Network) is free to use. I prefer it to XBL to be honest, mainly due to the fact that it's free lol. If you mean reliable as in network reliability, i'd say it was but you do get the odd bit of lag now and then, but who doesn't with online games?

First impressions I like the PS3 a lot quieter than my xbox elite, signed-up to PSN the first night was good with no problems, the second day it came up PSN ongoing maintenance need to play a few more games and decide what platform I prefer?

Would like other peoples opinions on what they like best Xbox or PS3?

Thanks.

I've got both - PS3 for the free online play and my JTagged XBox 360 for being able to store and run games from the HDD
