Does Playstation Network have a lot of lag?

[MJM]

So I've always been an XBOX guy. Bought a PS3 for MLB The Show 2010, and noted the game sucked for online play.

I read some online forums and it seems that it's just that particular. So today I bought Madden 2011 (too lazy to unhook the PS3), and I noticed the same thing. The game seems laggy online whereas I never noticed that with Madden 2010 or any other game on my XBOX 360.

Am I dreaming here, or is XBOX Live just that much better?

I find it's more EA then PSN

Try running a wired connection, I find it reduces lag significantly.

PS3's only downfall is a slow wifi. Plug it in.

Yup. Only games I've ever had lag problems with is the NHL series. It's probably EAs servers.

i have never had any problem playing games online. i use my wireless and have never had any problems playing nhl, red dead, or rock band.

EA games are also very buggy for me online. I had to stop playing with the Fata's in NHL 09 it was so bad.

I am using a wired connection.

I think from now on, unless the game is exclusive to PS3, i'll be buying the XBOX 360 version of it (starting with NHL 2011).

Right now I am in the same debate MJM. Recently, I have not bought an Xbox 360 game in a -long- time, partially because I was too lazy to buy a wireless adapter, and my PS3 has it built in. Therefore, I have been buying ALL my games for PS3, and my Live subscription even expired.

Just picked up Madden for PS3. However, with NHL coming out, i know that is a game I will definetly play online -alot-.

So now I am debating on going out to buy a wireless adaptor, as well as a new live subscription just for NHL 11...or just buy the PS3 Version.

I'll second the EA bug. I can game online well with other games, but NHL really shows. The drop rate gets really bad with me. It's so frustrating.

I notice it with some EA games more than others, FIFA usually has no lag for me but NHL is terrible

I have both systems and haven't really noticed a difference, except when I had my PS3 on wifi and my XBOX on wired
