Don't worry Microsoft will announce their little "Mii Too" thing at E3. It's gonna be like Miis and Home combined.

My only fear is that Home will be plauged with lag and other inconviniences like that.

Is anyone really excited about Home? It seems like everyone touts it as what's going to put PSN over LIVE, but I never see anyone really discuss why they're excited for it's feature set.

ok 2.40 didnt exactly equal xbox in term of functionality but 3 months HOME is going to be release, how are the lem going to justify paying for live then when HOME will own LIVE. What will be the excuse for you paying?virtuas

so HOME is now the end all be all of XBL? Wasn't 2.4 suppose to dethrone XBL as the superior console online setup? Why do you think that HOME will somehow be dramatically different?

1) There is no guarantee Home will be great, or even good

2) I have a very strong hunch that the fall update for X360 is going to be huge. Home won't be competing with what live is now, it will be competing with what live will be in the fall. I think you should keep this thread on hold until after the festivities tomorrow. I'm almost completely sure that it will be moot afterwards.

If more games like Burnout Paradise were patched and will soon have trophies then I think they could be equilivent. In a few months after a lot of games and new ones feauture what Sony has made available then 2.41 isn't full of fail.

The dashboard is the same as In-game XMB now when it comes to features except 2 things

- Dashboard can change themes

- private chat

and arguably, music from your HD even though the PS3 has that (because no games support it as of yet)

How can it be a game? It has little mini-games in it, but I've always thought of it as an extension to the online service.

Personally, it looks dull.

actually, MS is pretty much copying the Mii's from Nintendo. Nice try though. Must be difficult being here in system wars when you know absolutely nothing about what you're talking about. :lol:

2.4 easily IS the better bang for the buck. Oh wait, I don't have to pay for it...and still get a sizeable amount of features. Fine by me.

With all the hype of 2.4 on SW, I seriously thought it will be something good. But after I downloaded 2.41, I have to say I'm extremely disappointed. I'm not saying it sucks or anything but with all the massive hype by cows here, I thought it was going to be awesome.

Oh well. 2.5 will dethrone XBL.

I doubt that PSN will ever beat XBL. I wouldn't be surprised if MS releases its "HOME rip-off" before Sony finishes HOME.

Sony needs cross game invites still. Home will give PSN an advantage over Live in terms of community though.

I already let my XBL account expire and I am using PSN for now. The little extra features on live don't do it for me.

I will renew XBL only because there are games coming out later this year that will have co-op and good MP. So, I will wait until I have a reason.

Cross game invites annoy me personally. If I am not already playing that game it is because I don't want too. I also sent my first PSN message today and that player was on MGS4 and he got the message. Although, I did not have a game in.

Ya, but I was not asking you to stop playing MGS4 and play say, Warhawk.

On XBL it would go like this for me. I am playing one game, usually a genre my friends never play. So, I get one invite. I am on a boss battle or in the middle of a game so I don't answer right away. The dude says to himself "maybe he did not notice it" a few minutes later comes invite two. I am still busy and don't answer yet so my other friend who is with him says "let me try". Here come more invites this time with voice messages.

I mean, its not big deal I just don't need cross game invites. Sure, it is an extra feature. Just not enough to pay over PSN.

I will renew XBL because of the games I want to play.

On a cold day in hell, Home is still just a 2nd life rip off its a seperate part of psn and i will actually have to loginto it to do any thing, why would i do that? why not just do that from the XMB? with a simple interface.
