Does Playstation Network suck?

Give me an honest answer, no fanboy answers please. I am getting a PS3 soon, and was wondering if the online really sucked as opposed to xbox live. (please don't tell me about how you have to pay and the other is free i don't care) All I want to know is, is it a good service? I heard it lags, that some games don't have voice (Unreal Tournament 3) that you can't invite your friends to games like on xbox live. Is this true? But I also did hear that PSN multiplayer allows for more players to be in a match, is that true?

Hey good question. Alot of ppl say its bad but those are only people that have xbox. ppl that have actrully played it like me and i own a ps3 would say that is really good. the online does not lag if you have a good connection. they are creating in game xmb just like the xbox has and thats coming out this month so i would say its really good. also check out this article http://www.psu.com/In-game-XMB,-trophies...

PS Network is good, but it sucks compared to Live. It lags a lot, a lot of games do NOT have voice chat.

PS3 is still a good system, but I wouldn't itbuy it for online gaming.

xbox live is better and i am not a fan boy of both even though i have a 360 but PS3 has less of a community less games and just u can't find anybody u played with

IT SURE DOES!
Xbox is way better and you can get LIVE for free

i doesnt suck. just sorta slow...

LMAO, Are YOu KIDDING ME?

It sucks ***!

It lagss sooo much it takes about 1minute just to switch guns.
You can invite friends in some games.
No, the multiplayer's highest ""People in a room""
is 30 but that's only for the new release on finalfantasy,

you cannot use some "Voices" in battle because the ps3 always has glitches on the micophone like it makes your words cut out or even electicutes you!

you can invite friends as i've said.



just don't get the ps3, it sucks so bad. i play Unreal tournament 3 over my friends and it took 17minutes just to load the frecking lobby!
(there's a new lobby data when you buy the new guns, 7.99)

there's always 6second lags when you shoot unless it's a 1vs1.

when you play by yourself offline, the game lags every 15seconds and when ever you shoot, there's a delay.
don't get the system, trust me
