XBL on the same account since '07, never had to pay for a necessary update, and I see a lot more downloadable games and the like on the 360's market place than I do my my PS3's.

Updates as in patches are free, no updates as in add-ons. Sure Xbox may have more DLC, but you have to pay for more than %90 of it...

The point is that Microsoft won't allow free content from the developers. They require them to charge. A lot less friendly to the cheap gamers, and the nicer developers.
I am probably going to receive a load of boxes (for having a different opinion then the uneducated hordes) for this guys, so bear with me on this one.
Valve is not receiving money from sony to say good stuff about ps3, I know that for sure guys. Remember back when Valve trashed sony constantly? However Valves publisher (secretly owner TROLOLOLOL) EA has been *RUMORED* amongst the Battlefield community to have signed a deal with sony, of which they will delay DLC (Disc locked content, not downloadable content) for pc and 360, due to "technical problems" (see onslaught dlc, MOH beta, bf1943 pc port), and other shit such as stage demos being done on PS3. [/CONSPIRACYSonTHEbfbc2FORUM]
The previous sentences involving a deal with sony were not made by me, and are just reworded from several posts on the bfbc2 forum at ea.com [/disclaimer]
How does this link up with Valve suddenly loving sony and bashing M$ (I agree that XBL is a trainwreck, but them constantly going about like this giving sony love and bashing M$ reeks of payoff). it links up like this. Sony has been paying EA to give the PS3 more love then PC and 360, EA publishes Valve's games, EA wants Valve to abide by the Deal EA has with sony, Valve stops their current habits and suddenly loves the PS3, the result? Mass bitching and whining from 360 kiddies and more money in EA's (Large as fuck) pocket.
Oh dear god i can see the boxes covering the sun already...

Except EA have no control over Valve, and Valve can easily drop them as retail and switch over to someone else.
Valve could start getting Sony to publish their PS3 games if they wanted to.

You do realise that Valve haven't actually decided on a publisher for the retail versions of Portal 2, right?

So, EA do not own them.

[QUOTE=Legend286;24732754]If Steam is DRM then it's not very good.[/QUOTE]
The key to DRM is not about making games hard to crack, because challenges just make crackers more poised to succeed. The BEST DRM focuses on discouraging cracking in the first place by making payment a much better option, and Steam succeeds at this by offering a service vastly superior to unstable, buggy cracked equivalents.
In a sense, the higher security a DRM system has the weaker it is since greater intrusiveness makes cracked DRM-free alternatives seem more attractive to customers. From that point of view, Steam is the strongest DRM there is.
It's funny how Gabe at first was all like "Damn Sony should really redo the PS3 system as it's such a huge failure and the hardware too hard to code for blabla it's way too expensive to develop for. And now his like PS3 yes yes come to me baby your hot.

Hey guys, just to let you know. Steam isn't a DRM platform, it's a Digital Distribution platform, there's a difference.

They do, its called ignoring Piracy. And when you ignore it, it simply goes away.
That said valve is awesome for ditching the 360. I've got a 360 and PS3. I prefer the PS3 but the micro transactions for little things and thousands of updates in an hour kind of pisses me off. But hell it's not bad since I don't have to pay to talk to my friends.
Valve hasn't ditched the 360.

Doesn't Apple have Steam? And then further support to play other PC games on Mac? Much as the same as Wine on Linux.

Wine isn't official support, Steam on the Mac is.
Maybe someday... Just maybe... A universal console system will be born with the ideals of addons/mods from PC's, and easy wi-fi/epic games from Xbox, and PS3, and ontop of that they'll give motion controls from Wii
:sigh:
I've never understood why people have always said that Playstation Online sucks. It's free and it works like it's supposed to. How is that considered a shitty service?

Xbox gamers are butthurt from having to pay for the online service... including me.

I think Microsoft just uses the Xbox Live Gold subscription money just for total profits while not adding super awesome features to the service itself with the money. What a rip off! PS3 offers, from what I hear, the same online features and it's for free. And for the PC, according to all the [i]PC gaming gods[/i], the PC has better options when compared to us [b]dirty console gamers[/b].
PC dominates
