Is anyone else frustrated with the Playstation Network?

So, I just got finished with a game of MLB 09 The Show, and I feel like I never want to play another 9 innings. Even with games made by Sony, I have consistently had bad experiences with the PSN. It gliches. The chat is very inconsistent. I pay COX $50 a month, just so I wouldn't have to deal with this. I don't have this problem on XBOX Live. Why do I have it on PSN?

The only problem I have with PSN is their lack of classic games and so on.

But I hope you're not implying that throwing money at something will make it better. Especially if that something is already paid for with your ISP and is otherwise FREE with everything else in the world. Especially with gaming.

Well, typically faster internet connections cost more money. So, I pay for the fastest available to residential customers.

no problems here i get abit of breakup in the voice chat on warhawk but its a known issue and was one of the first games to run on PSN network

Half the time I try to connect to PSN I get error messages. I never have problems with Xbox Live, but hey, at least PSN is free.

never had an issue with playstatio network not working.. or lagging or glitching.. ( well i have to omit SOCOM Confronatation ) n the ococasional connection interrupted on COd but my friend on xbox live has the same exact issue with COD as well so stop hating on the psn.

When I first got my PS3 (2007) I had no end of problems but in the last 18 months PSN has run smooth as you like, and I only have 10Mb broadband. At lot of my early problems were due to my wireless router I think but like I say it's all sorted itself out.

You're arguing against one of PSN's strongest points, and that is its consistent quality online multiplayer.

What's frustrating is it's refusal to merge all PSN titles among all regions, as well as importing all of its PS1 classic greats to please fans while we happily rain money down on Sony, money that they probably need to not let M$ getting all these timed exclusives (SO4, and Ninja Gaiden to a lesser extent).

dont have any problem here with lag or anythin, once in a blue moon i get kicked off the PSN but thats about it.JoKeR_421

I tried to air my frustration months ago regarding the PSN, and my topic got shut down...what a joke.

PSN is owned in every way by live. I switched from xbox due to hating the subscription fee...now I wish I could go back!

i have no lag issues though...online is as good as live. content is my issue.

headsets were used by almost all players in live, psn is lacking here (due to xbox coming with free headset)

I kind of hate to say this, but if the PSN began running a yearly fee something small. I believe then we would have much more of a solid experiance also more cooler features. But heck its not the worst thing in the world.

ummmm... i have had my 60 gig ps3 for like almost 2 years now... and i have never had a glitch or problem on the PSN... i have only been signed out once in COD4 and even then all i did was sign in again and everything was ok so i guess the probem there was on my end... i would check ur connection before blaming the network that the whole world seems to be doing fine with

I've never had any problems with PSN except for the occasional lag (but that's probably my connection).

No mayor problems here, just the occasional lag and kicked out of a room

You have to take into account that the service is free. This alone should make you forgive all of the problems you're encountering. To answer your question, I myselh have had a minimal amount of problems with PSN.

Well for free what else do you want? A mansion?b3yondstupidity

edit~ To add something else, people keep saying PSN is free, and it is, for you. But the developers have to pay for those servers. So, as a developer, am I going to put something on PSN and not make as much profit, or put it on a competing service? One last thing, until PSN's services improve, people like me who own more than one console, will continue to buy online games for the better services. Every online multiplat I have is for a different console than the PS3.

I, and I'm sure many others, would get quite angry if we had to pay for PSN. Try checking your connections, that's all I can say.

The only problems I've ever had were with COD4. All my other experinces with my other online games have been problem free.

You get what you pay for and PSN is free. But I've never had lag issues. I just wish it had better chat options.

[QUOTE="donmega1"][QUOTE="Eddie5vs1"] I have no problem with my connection as I don't think I've ever been disconnected. Also my games are lag free which is one thing I love about PSN. I'm just asking for more standard online features across all PSN enabled games.GrilledCharlie

ok, ok, its 7.99 for a one month. you get it for less you buy more months at a time.

Should be in SW you can't talk about xbox in the PS3 forum
