But you do use the avatars in live parties (not sure how many people use that feature).

Are you talking about the avatar, as in the character they create? That's what I figured the first time but no one seemed to catch on...

The XBL Avatar is the customizable character, whereas the gamerpic is the image that we call avatars on forums.

Exactly what I was referring to. Only took 2 pages to do it too

I figured out what you were referring to after your emphasized post, but I refuse to follow microsoft's naming. The profile pic is called your avatar just about EVERYWHERE but XBL, so the gamerpic is the avatar, and the retard person is something else.

They enjoy doing that

I agree. Miis are incredibly stupid...

Wrong system

Just goes to show that Microsoft's rip-off of Mii's are indistinguishable to actual Mii's

Satire and sarcasm are difficult to pull off on the internet (especially on a forum); I had a feeling you were referring to Mii's and XBox 360 avatars separately, but your post didn't clarify that. So, Kllrnohj and I assumed you confused the two.

Now switching to something productive: anyone here play GTA IV on live?

Nope. I don't have GTA IV. Also, my gold trial is over and I'm too poor to afford it (Well, really I'd just rather spend the money on new games, online play is better on the PC anyway )

BF:BC Anyone?

It's also better on the PS3. Us noobs that bought XBL because we heard it was cool got shafted. Can you believe PSN has 64 player multiplayer? Xbox can't even pull off 18 without lag half the time.

XBL has how many users on average compaired to PSN now try and tell me which one will lag more. If PSN is so much better than how come no one uses it. Exactly, now shush.

Noone uses it because Microsoft owns the Liberal media, and everyone drinks their cool-aid so to speak. Lag-free 64-player multiplayer would otherwise speak for itself.

Are you guys trying to turn this thread into another flamewar..?

I can't speak for PSN, but I've never seen any XBL game lagging due to the network. It's always individual clients that lag.

My Xbox is hard-wired into my modem, theres no way it's on my end.

That has nothing to do with it DShiznit, its more about what that modem is connecting you too than how the X-Box is connected to the modem. Unless of course someone is behind like five or so routers/gateways that will slow things down a bit.

Really? Then why does the PS3 version stutter at 640p whereas the 360 version is smooth at 720p? Oh right, because the PS3 version sucks (the 360 version of just about every game is better than its PS3 equivalent)



Uh, yeah, it most likely is. Your internet connection could suck, your modem and/or router could suck, or you could be far from the servers (both in terms of physical distance and the number of routers)

So the PS3 version of Battlefield Bad Company that has 64 player lag-free multiplayer is worse than the 'awesome' 32-player 360 version.

The lag I keep experiencing on this paid service is on the network of the game as a whole(as some servers will run fine, and others will lag like shit, and it'll change depending on whose playing). It cannot be on my end, I'm paying $50+ a month for 8mbps internet, which should be more than fast enough for multiplayer gaming. PS3 has fast, free, large-scale online gaming. End of story. Critics like Game Informer and X-Play(who aren't biased by only being able to afford one console or the other and needing to justify that purchase) agree: The PS3 is superior to the Xbox 360 in multiplayer gaming. I bought into the Microsoft cool-aid just like all of you. I got an xbox like everyone else. I was wrong.
