I've been using Xbox Live since Gears of War came out on 360. I've been using PSN since a little after Metal Gear Solid 4 came out. I have had both of them the whole time with no gaps. Continously. I can unequivocally tell u that PSN has been unsuable more than Xbox Live. And its not even close. And anyone thats had both for a long time (which is probably many ppl). Could tell u so. Xbox for whatever reason will have certain parts that go down? Like the ability to buy things etc. For a couple hours every now and then. While PSN goes completely down. I dont know if this is a structure thing or whatever.
Ummm. Gonna need some data on that. My Xbone team has been down less times than I can count on one hand and I started at the Big Box Kotor era.
See, it's the craziest thing. I can read and I'm able to go into my Settings menu and check and see that the box is checked off.
Because you can bypass that shit, by setting it home console.
Are you really going to pretend lik Xbox wasn't down? Lol "misinformation"? They literally had a message pop up saying that it was a problem on their end. Failing to see why people are so quick to deny reality.
You cant use your xbox, even if it's on home console.Set console to home, never worry about losing internet or server access again for SP games.
Share your games, then you’re out of luck and that’s on you and not MS fault
It’s a non issuewe all know we need an active connection to the servers if we are sharing games. (Think over the years it’s happened to me a handful of times, granted am not on the Xbox much now a days but still)
Good. Tell that to the average Joe.
Xcloud caused an overload on their network.
Drm is what makes their digital games not work, without internet.
That is the only way, xbox can have this long outage.
That is a fix.
Peace warrior. Lay down thy sword.
Yeah same here. I was playing just fine all through this. I did have my xbox set to primary/home prior to all this as well.
Steam has always had a functioning offline mode and unless you are specifically playing a game that makes you go online to connect to its own servers, it works fine when Steam is inaccessible. This has been the case for over a decade now. PC gamers don't put up with shit that console gamers put up with.
most ppl own both consoles. most ppl don't have a dog in the fight. most ppl dont gaf about console warrior nonsense.
Source on that? I remember my psn going down more than once when I had a ps3 but maybe it got better once Sony started charging for it. And then I read about multiple occasions when psn went down during the ps4 days. Once during the holiday season maybe and another when they were hacked I think. This is the first time I remember xbox being down but I've only had an Xbox since series x launched. And don't forget, gt7 was offline for several days. Not all of psn but still a bad look.
I guess you never heard twitter.
It's not being down that I'm talking about. It's people acting like they have no idea how home console works and that it's something unique to Xbox or that this is some DRM horror show. Just a bunch of fake outrage and misinformation about how things actually work in most of this thread.
There is no need to address it.
Preach it! Many Xbox fans that hate DRM like myself would love Microsoft to reverse course on this crap.
This is a really great post. Thank you for pointing this out. The online DRM and discs as install keys issue are really hurting the preservation of the MS consoles. I hope they see the outrage and reconsider their position.
That is the only reason, why I am not bothering with their windows store. Didnt touch gamepass pc, since it blocked me from accessing it, while my internet was out. Turned out, I had to start it once every month to play it offline. That is just bull crap. I have some steam games, which I dont turn it on for 2 months. How am I supposed to play windows games once a month?
An error on their side, shouldn’t make it impossible for me to play any of the games. The fact that this error can even occur is the problem. The DRM MS enforces is just completely over the top.
