PS3s Online Services to Compete With XBox 360

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the big-surprise-here dept.

wh0pper writes "Dubbed WA!PS3 Online, Sony plans to combat the Xbox 360's download service with their own service for the Playstation 3. Though this is only going to happen in Asian markets at first, this adds even more fuel to the fiery debate over whether the Playstation 3 will have a hard drive included with the system. The Playstation 3 will be able to download games to the console for gamers to play and Sony says it will be better than the Xbox 360's features."

    I think I speak for a very large portion of the gamer base if I say :"Put up or shut up."

    So far Sony has been able to provide people with.. promises. Nothing concrete and no I don't consider a few screenshots or videos here or there as believeable material as most of them have already been revealed to be pre-rendered material.

    There's way too much hyping on both sides, yet only one party has so far been able to even deliver a reasonably working box to consumers.
