ps2 online = insane amount of hassle for a less than adequate experience

tried once, never gonna do it again

I still dont think they do, their intefaces on current machines are not the greatest things in the world

HOME may change that though seems to be coming along well
PS2 online though - Worst way to do it

I still love how nintendo AND Sony said xbox live was wrong and it was not going to be popular and work well and now they all use the model of it, lol

yea, to be honest i got my xbox 360 and was skeptical of the online service, the fact that you had to pay was off putting to me... but as i have learnt, you get what you pay for and its probably the best online system you could possibly ever have

simple, yet full of features that you actually use

You forget though with the 360 the service in its basic form is free so you can look up stuff and play and if you upgrade you can then get the content and more, which is even better then before.

XMB is nice interface, PSN shop is rubbish interface.  They can do it, unfortunately they cant do it all the time.

And has anyone registered a US Live account?  Our Live Marketplace is barren in comparison :(  I cant wait for us to get movie downloads.

Get a PS3 to play online gaming. Much better than the PS2 online gaming service provided (awful Central Station!!)
