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."

    Big surprise that Sony says that. Well it should be better since it's gonna be out over a year later than the 360.

    "...Sony says it will be better than the Xbox 360's features." That's good! I thought they might have just said "it's gonna suck" or something... Whew!

    Of course it's true! Sony's nebulous, future release promises to be than a currently available product? OMFG, I never would have anticipated that. By the way I hear that the Infinium Labs Phantom Game Console will be even better than the PS3. I can't wait until it comes out...
