PS3 will have them as well if the user base grows. Right now it's a matter of security through obscurity.

There may already be hacks. It's not Live that is hacked but the game code itself. IW and Activision made a conscious decision to make the MP for the MW2 game peer-to-peer. Users can introduce hacks and mods into the game because of this. With dedicated servers a client check could be initiated at any time during a client/server session, identify hacks, and kick/ban modders.

The PS3 has a big enough user base.

I'm thinking its because the Xbox's OS is a lot easier to work with than the PS3 OS.

It's 40 million to 30 million in consoles sold. And you have to subtract all the xbox owners who don't have xbox live.

Microsoft = insecurity = hackers

Console wars aside, I just wanted to say that CP members starting to play MW2 together was the best thing that could've happened. It has greatly improved the MW2 experience for me.

P.S. Kraus, "I blame my teammates" literally made me "lol" the other night when I saw that.

:spock:
Are you seriously trying to imply the PS3 online community is as large as the Live gaming community?

So you are pretty much saying that I am the glue that brought us all together.

Cool man, thanks.

Yeah man. Very nice work there.

Hey Molitoth, you should play with me some time.

I probably complain a lot more than you do, but I think I have a slow connection when I play with all the mid-westerners because my shit doesn't register half the time.

It's not like we're talking about Linux here. It's almost 50/50 in the number of consoles out there.

I would say something in the range of 63% - 37%

A lot of people don't want to pay the $50 for Live, while the PSN is free (for now).

It's also 20+mill active Gold Live users; avg of ~2mil at any given time with peaks at 13mil concurrent. Live is a huge online gaming community.

PSN's largest number was 17mil total, and that included PSP players in the aggregate. On top of that, PSN account creation skews the numbers: don't like your "name", create a new account. Hey, look, Sony's PSN number just increased! :rolleyes:

PSN has a long way to go. Frankly, I believe they should invest in the infrastructure and start charging as well. Live has free Silver access; PSN should provide a low-cost Gold service as well.

Live is also free. Gold subscription provides additional functionality and content.

I have not paid more than $30 for an annual Gold Live subscription.
