If you're reading this blog I assume that you own one of the three major consoles. The Wii the PS3 and the Xbox 360. They all have a feature where you get to play online against people who have the game and the console. I have played games on all of these networks. First Nintendo Networks the online for the wii and the ds. It is free and easy to set up all you need is the password for your wireless home network and the system does the rest. Playstation Networks is FREE and you get the same features as xbox live for FREE. You get a shop and to play games against other members. Which brings me to xbox live. xbox live is the microsoft based network to play against xbox live members. The problem here is unlike the other two networks to access the full features you have to pay money to microsoft. On top of that there is nothing better about it than Playstation Networks. It is just yet another Microsoft scam. In my opinion Playstation Networks is the best and if you were considering buying a PS3 but were hesitant because you weren't sure about Playstaion Networks being good then you should go to the store right now and buy one because they're awesome.
