Turned it on to play SOCOM 4 and to my surprise, they still have connections to the update server, so I was forced into a huge update as my console had been off for about 6 months. I ain't anxious for it to be back either, I can wait to play SOCOM online.

About the Xbox Live bit, I have had friends that had flaky issues with wireless as well, but from my view it looked like a router issue. I would rather run cable with repeaters everywhere than to go wireless. A major turning point for me is the large download times for updates that seem to be every week or so. Any xbox live update I received took a few seconds and I was back into my game again. It is almost like they are adding a service pack to the ps3 every week, insane! Anyways, this said I will still be playing games like SOCOM online with friends, but xbox live will always be the better online experience. Sure it has a price tag, but well worth it in my opinion. Now one thing I would like is dedicated servers, heck I would even pay extra monthly for each game if they had dedicated servers. Some games setup just doesn't seem to pick the right host (Black Ops) and leads to host changes and games being dropped.
