Xbox Live Marketplace versus PlayStation Network: video

Posted Mar 25, 2007 at 10:06PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360 Tags: playstation 3 updates, PlayStation Network, YouTube
Ó

What's the best way to tell which online distribution service delivers more for your well-deserved time? Well, why not put them side by side and have them fight for your favor? That's exactly what Elldizz did as he put up a series of comparison videos on YouTube that showcase the strengths and weaknesses of the PlayStation Network and the Xbox Live Marketplace - side by side.

In the video we have below, Elldizz demonstrates how the PS3, despite its processing power, seems to lag behind the XBox 360 in accessing its network. It made up for its slowdown, however, when it came to seeing the descriptions of each game available for download.

There's more from Elldizz up on YouTube, and those have to do with the quality of similar games. Still, we've shown you graphical comparisons before, haven't we?

im sure its all dependant on connection speed, he could be on dial up or something. the xbox downloads all its content in the background whilst its switched on so theres seems to be no loading time.

gotta agree to that... it simply depends on your connection speed and how many files(i.e. images) it has on a single page



this is like comparing two different person(you and me) using two different games(UT2k4 and CSSource) trying to connect to two different server(Titan Server and UKCS) with custom mods(mutators and maps)

That is one thing I've ALWAYS hated about the marketplace....that there is virtually no information on what you are downloading. A short paragraph and a small icon? WTF is that?



If I'm downloading a theme, I want to know what the hell I'm getting without having to check the damn internet. Same with picture packs. Same with just about everything else.

the UK looks to have a slow connection at the moment as everyone who just got a PS3 is downloading stuff and even if it is slow the PS3 can download anything in the background too while you play any game or do anything else.

# Showed you 3 red rings ? all mine shows is AAA games and moreGuest 2007-03-26 02:52
Its amazing that around 10.5 million people have brought the 360 isnt it if you believe all these so called problems.



Have you not noticed its people on the internet who claim this red light thing and who of course we cant see to prove that, so why is it so many people have brought the 360 surly they would of seen their friend, neighbors, family etc all returning their systems and would not of also brought one now would they. I smell bulsiet.

So you think 10.5 million is alot huh? Then why is the 360 utterly FAILING in Japan? And if 10.5 is so much why has the 360 stalled in sales? That has been the same number for like a month now.....And if you really want to talk numbers compare them to the total sales of ALL of Sony Consoles + MS Consoles. Then you will see what ALOT truly is. Oh lastly if #'s are so important to you what about the embarrassment the Zune is?

# ....Guest 2007-03-26 03:27
I have both systems and my ps3 loads just like that. I dont know if its becuase xbox loads with mostly text and not picture icons though. If thats the case id rather have just text showing in the download list for the ps3 to load faster

# ..highps3 2007-03-26 03:28
Well i tried, youtube is still processing the video and i also have my screenname on the top of the store which i would have to edit..



Oh well when it gets up on youtube i post it. My video is like 15 seconds long and loads faster than that for sure. i can load like 2 before they finish with there one...



And please note 360 is loading text. You still have to click on demos, then click on a demo before you can download.



The ps3 can click on any picture on that front page and youll be brought to the downloading screen..





Way to make a video of the store biased...





Man youtube takes forever....

# ..lolGuest 2007-03-26 03:34
lol the processing power has nothing to do with the download speeds. The download speeds are based on your internet connection and the host's connection. Because the 360 has live which you have to pay for, Microsfoft have a much faster connection, as they need high standerds for something you have to pay for but get free on another consoles. Whereas Sony do not need such fast internet connections because it is free.

# Opinions people!Guest 2007-03-26 03:41
Omg, why do you guys even care. As long as both consoles don't crawl like snails online. I mean it's great if you can surf the web fast but as long as it works. (I prefer the PS3 but...) both are great game consoles. We always talk about the x-clusive games that the consoles are losing but what about the games we're getting in return? Besides, it's cool if the games can at least still be for the console that the game originally belonged to. It's ok that we're all somewhat a fanboy, but good games is what really counts (though the extra features can be nice).

i currently own a 360 and ps3

ive noticed that when u sign into xbox live its logs into the internet yeah.

when it logs into the internet on xbox it automaticaly downloads a quik list of the games available for marketplace n shiz.

the ps3 does it real time

does it on demand.

when its needed it does it there n then hence why it is slower.

sorry 360 bum chums but you havent won

How about you answer the question that has been asked to you at least 10 times by different people here first and THEN I will answer your question. that question is



Why do you continue to come here and post about a console you say you do not care about? Are you a paid MS employee or just a sad person.

omg stfu ps3 pwnd by 360! Who the F^ck cares. Play your stupid games on whatever system you own and be happy with it. Your Hyundai will never beat a Kia. The slants will never buy a mustang and so there it is and there you have it. Only in America do people fight over stoopid sh^t like my cars better than yours or my system is faster than yours. Way I see it, microsoft and sony are the only winners in any of this because they profit either way. So F^ck off and blow a dog... Later f^gs!

# yoinkGuest 2007-03-26 06:37
I have a X360 with a gold account

and PS3 with a....account

My personal experience is that, I can download MUCH faster from the PS Store.

I also find the PS Store much better because it contains MUCH more info about what youre downloading..

And that everything you buy is shown in your own currency.

The X360 gui is so optimized for SDTVs(GIANT text) that theres no room for info..

Also, Marketplace has WAAAAAAAY too many categories..

It seems content rich, but it is really just duplicates all over :S

I like the games most of all. That is why I bought the PS3. We will see a lot of online games. The PS3 is just scratching the surface so far. Why does everyone thing that multiplayer online is not there for the PS3 when lots of games are already supporting it.

# Maybe Thats Part Of Keeping It Fast...CHUCKINGROCKSATSPACESHIPS 2007-03-26 07:16
m$ shows as little info as possible to make it faster to download. As long as you don't mind spending 10x the time for the PS3 to load to go on the internet and see what the 360 game you want is about.

it's not possible to be on dial up on the PS3, idk about the 360, but i know for sure, you MUST have a broadband connection to access the PSN. However, his connection is rather slow, i found my PS Store loads much faster than his.

# What's importantGuest 2007-03-26 10:04
I think that what really is important is that one is free and one is not!!!

So for Microsoft i just say that the beer money, that they say we are overpaying for the ps3, to use to pay xbox live!! Over a few years xbox becomes a really expensive toy!!! Sure its optional but at least ps3 we pay only one time to get the full content!!!!



PS: Sorry for bad english!!!!

# Oner001Guest 2007-03-26 10:58
Oner001 what the embarrassment is is the fact that Sony was bragging that the PS3 was going to be better than the 360 yet it lacks good games and graphics. They have a dull store and the 360 has a nice one. The 360 also sells more than the PS3 and the reason why the 360 is not selling in Japan is because one most Japanese are just playstation fanboys and will not buy anything but Sony products and alot of the Japanese hate americans. The PS3 is a failure and for the 3 red lights usually means a hardware failure which you should check all your cords also.

# that was a bs videoGuest 2007-03-26 10:59
gimme a break. that ps3 was on the slowest connection I've ever seen. Mine might take a few seconds on the blue/grey screen while it's bringing up the store, but all pictures are loaded at once. And I'm sitting on a crappy wireless / WIRELESS connection. So ***** it. I can make that same demo here, lol, and trust me the exbox 360 (that I'd have to borrow from someone stupid) would be the slow one.



and mr common sense! When will you ever learn. Nobody even wants to hear from you.

***** QJ ASS QJ ASS hey pay attention QJ. Get rid of open posting on this ***** site so ass holes like mr common sense can actually get some responsibility. Or at least get so many negative feedbacks that nobody has to see his posts.

# um no...Guest 2007-03-26 11:25
Like every one else on here is saying the playstation store normally doesn't load that slow. I just connected and counted three seconds. And what 360 games would you be referring to? Another first person shooter with a five hour storyline or a wannabe gta with a seven hour storyline? At least the games on ps3 with online Resistance, Motorstorm and many more are actually playable online from day one(flawless, no lag) and you don't have to wait a month for a stupid patch to fix what should have been right the first time. LMFAO

# PS3 video maybe biased?Guest 2007-03-26 12:11
You should not be allowed to just make a video like that without covering all of the basic on each consoled connection. For all I know he could have the 360 hooked up directly to a router and the PS3 using it's wifi to connect, which in return would cause the PS3 to appear much slower. Although I will say this my 360 does own the PSN when it comes to any downloads:)

# Lol that connection is slowGuest 2007-03-26 18:21
The slowest thing ever. My Ps store loads in seconds. Xbox 360 uses some precaching system. so that you can access in seconds too. but generally it's slower. You can see that description takes more time to load. because that is the only info it's downloading. Also downloads are quicker on PS3.

my ps store is a shizload faster than that, wireless is never the way to go, slower and less secure, the sexbox doesnt even have a fokin wirless card, its a piece of shiz, if u by a sexbox360 and the hddvd drive it costs as much as a ps3 but no ms slot sd slot microdrive slot, cf slot either, and no hdmi output, and only a 20 gig hdd, graphics dont matter in games as long as u can tell what everything is it doesnt fokin mater, so dont pull that "its got better graphics bullshiz" yeah the ps3 costs more money but 4 whats in it its a hell of a deal, and u all no that, it depends what u will use it for, whether to get the sexbox or the ps3, u need to no exactly what u want before u buy it.

# What?Guest 2007-03-27 08:18
Mr. Nonsense you laughed about the Polish ps3 launch, I'm laughing that you cared enough to read it. You don't like the PS3, we get it. Go make posts about how much you love your 360. You own one right, yet all we hear is how bad the ps3 is. Nothing about how great the 360 is, Probably because they have the same number of grade a titles as the ps3, 1. But that's OK you get to pay for xbox live and I'm playing free, lag-free, 40-man battles on ps3.

I explain the 10.5 million people who own the 360 the same way xboys explain the 100 million ps2's that were sold, "They only sold so many because they are pieces of crap, people had to buy multiple copies." I can't say that I have had a problem with my 360 because, I don't have one. But I do have a PS3 that works fine. Looks like M$ has their own little "disc read error" situation on their hands, Xboys talked about that all the time. Now their system bricks itself and they won't admit it. That's called karma.

WHO THE F... CARES about the stupid connection to the 'marketplace'.

And WHAT KIND OF IDIOT makes a blog post on a stupid 'benchmark' of connection speeds.

Nothing can be more variable than an internet connection.

Does extremism on GAME CONSOLES go that far to even compare logging-in speeds to a web server?
