Call me a luddite, but online gaming still hasn't grabbed me. I've played City of Heroes (MMORPG) and various Internet multiplayer games for years (from Quake to Call of Duty) and I've gotta say until you can institute some system of ranking that sorts players into age groups cross referenced with fucktardness then the online experience is always going to be a mixed bag.
LAN games still seem to me to be the best way to game with multiple players to me. Mainly because they nicely control the fucktardness factor and shouting at your friends is infinitely superior to shouting at some random voice on the Internet.
And as for the PS2/PS3 I couldn't really care less about online gaming. I have a PC for that.

Yeah I can totally concur with you on the distribution of c0cks in online gaming, but XBox live (on the original XBox) was a pleasant surprise.
I think because everyone has to either talk or shut up (i.e. no typing silly comments), it reduced the fucknuckle factor quite considerably. Hell, I even had several excellent races in V8 Supercars 2 with full damage turned on and everyone being most civil. Makes for a much more realistic racing experience (e.g. no insane passing manouvres).
