    That is not surprising, the PSN is great, I love it! Everything is so open and simple.

    It needs to be better, it is average to say the least.

    Never had any problems with psn in the 14 months I’ve been on it, and its free. This will only increase when titles like FF13, GT5 and Killzone2 are released.

    Again, Ps3owner… i see all your “it needs to be better”… HOW? You’ve got to be more specific as to what you see that’s wrong with it.

    Yeah ps3owner seems a bit petty really! its free, its clear, fresh, updated frequently, i really cant see any improvements unless your one of these ppl thats never satisfied! but like mark says specify what and you may have a point!

    This is GREAT news.

    There are 17 Million PS3 out there and there are 14 Million Active PSN Accounts.

    This a great ration.

    Compared to 22 Million Xbox360 with 14 Million Xbox Live users.

    I know that that Xbox has the aracde users with no live but the Odds are in Sony’s favor.

    I am celebrating my PS3s first year anniversary (Which coincides with my birthday); within the last year I have seen the PS3 make some amazing changes. Some of the better features have been the in game XMB, Trophies, layout of the Playstation store, flash 9 added to the browser, etc, etc.

    I am more than happy with the PS3/PSN.

    Wow, that’s pretty impressive to be fair! Just shows how much of a good console the PS3 has… and how much of a fanbase it has too! :)

  • 12 mobiletone // Nov 19, 2008 at 6:39 pm

    yeah, if they had the global store as was promised we wouldn’t have to dup’ accounts :)

    LIVE also has 14 million

    allthough PSN might surpass live in total numbers, LIVE has Many, many times the content available and is overall better built.

    How amusing.

    So is ps3daily going to acknowledge that the 14 million accounts include PSP registrations?

    Thought not…
