10 reasons why PlayStation Network trumps Xbox Live

Why the PSN is better than Xbox Live

No lame avatars



In 2008, Microsoft added cutesy 3D avatars to Xbox Live as part of the 'new Xbox Live experience'. In other words, the company took a leaf from Nintendo's (pop-up) book and turned its back on the hardcore fraternity that had built its name. These stupid, bobble-headed Wii-wannabes have become the 'face' of Xbox Live -- much to the embarrassment of serious-minded gamers everywhere.

If you're old enough to shave, these things are a waste of space. If nothing else, the PSN offers a mature, Mii-free interface.
