None of what you said has anything to do with PS Plus. What exactly is your arguement here? If you like a Kinect, get the XBox, but the cost of the SERVICES and what you GET for that cost isn't even comparable.

Ill jump in and be as unbiased as i can about both systems...

Up until this generation of consoles Xbox Live has simply been the better experience no matter how you look at it. You got a better, more stable environment and great features with Xbox Live.

Now Playstation Plus has seen the success of Xbox Live and structured themselves around that adding on little things here and there. For example the Free game deals that PS+ has going on currently really spanks Xbox's Gaming with Gold. Also there are several features that AREN'T setup behind the PS+ paywall that are with XBOX Live. For example Netflix can't be used on the Xbox One without Gold Subscribtion. With the Playstation you do not need PS+ to enjoy Netflix.

Too be completely honest both online subscriptions have their pros and cons. To say that one is better than the other when they are so closely related now would be wrong. You would be better off saying which one fits your needs more.

PS+ right now has the better F2P games
Alot of features are NOT behind the PS+ Paywall
Better discounts on digital games

Xbox Live seems to be more established since it had a better foundation and been around longer, if that makes sense. Especially with Azure
It's music streaming service is far better than Sony's.
Not many digital discounts but that is actually in the works according to MS apparently
Gaming with Gold games you have gotten for free do not go away once your Gold subscription ends. They do with PS+

What will be really interesting is Playstation Now and how well it will be recieved. What alot of people don't realize is the Azure can and has been used to stream games to device like what Playstation Now is doing. But it looks like MS is sitting back to see how well it does after learning it's lesson at E3.

Something I wanted to add about Playstation Now, I remember reading that it will be streaming primarily PS3 games. Not all generations like we assumed. Sony is looking into a way to make it where you can play other generations locally. Ill try to dig it up, pretty cool nonetheless

Here are those articles

A new report on Digital Foundry has said that the PlayStation 4 will gain the ability to locally emulate PS1 and PS2 titles.

The anonymous source, reported to be working on Sony's PlayStation Now streaming technology, says that the cloud streaming tech is only currently scheduled to support PlayStation 3 titles for now.

Sony's internal emulator is already used on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, but the incarnation in the works for PlayStation 4 is said to be aiming for the ability to run the games in native HD resolutions. This would offer a distinct visual advantage over the current PS1/PS2 upscaling, and open up visual options seen in emulators like PCSX2. Running classic PlayStation games locally on your PS4 would also mean that any of the potential downsides of streaming--such as input lag--would be non-existent.

PlayStation Now is expected to launch in the US this summer, and was announced at the start of 2014. So far the service has been only been shown running PlayStation 3 titles, predominantly Naughty Dog's excellent The Last of Us.

For more information on Sony's ambitious cloud streaming service, GameSpot has compiled everything currently known about PlayStation Now into one article.

PlayStation Now is Sony’s effort to deliver legacy gaming – especially PlayStation 3 titles – on the PlayStation 4 using Gaikai’s content-streaming infrastructure, but a newly surfaced rumor suggests that content from earlier consoles will be treated differently. PSone and PlayStation 2 titles will reportedly rely on local emulation instead, with improvements to the software side that will allow for native HD resolutions (compared to the PlayStation 3′s upscaling). All of this comes from “a well-placed source working with Sony’s streaming service” who spoke to Digital Foundry.

The PlayStation 3 launched with hardware-based backwards compatibility, but that changed with the first re-worked version of the console. The PS3′s firmware is coded with emulators for PS One, PS2, and PlayStation Portable games, however, and the Vita supports PSone emulation. It’s not clear what the PS4 firmware is equipped with, but it’s a more powerful machine than its predecessor by a wide margin and there’s plenty of precedent for emulator support.

Bear in mind that all of this is nothing more than a rumor for the time being, but so far the only games Sony has only confirmed for the PlayStation Now service are PS3 games. PlayStation Now recently began to send out invitations to join a private beta test for the PlayStation Now service, which is tentatively set for a summer 2014 release.

Not that I want the new version but just figures I finally get the vita and 2 moths later they release the new model

The current model with the AMOLED display is still a better option.

While they are making it slimmer and lighter, changing to a LCD screen is a mistake.

They were having too many issues with the amoled.
