Its pretty well done but it doesn't add anything to PSN other then the trophies. its still not a unified server architechture so it still doesn't resolve any of the things that makes live better really.
Microsoft would do well to make their online free. I might even consider picking one up if they did that. As long as it's Pay to Play I will never own one.

thats one of the things keeping me off too. Until this home announcment I was on a one way ticket to the wii based on price alone. I've decided i'm gonna wait a little longer and see what happens to the prices of all the systems (and their online services).
Rather then making it free, I believe Microsoft may release a feature similar to this one.project343
I'd really rather they didn't. Focus on adding content to XBL as it is, and on supporting and producing great games like Mass Effect, Gears of War and Halo 3.

which is why im glad they thought of it..this feature will only give microsoft a reason to improve xbox live and bring it to the next level. Everyone wins. except nintendo :(
There's no denying that Microsoft is the software company this gen. So, there's your answer right there. More great games and content. Second Life is not really a game and neither is PSH. How will they regulate this evironment to be safe for the kids (or anyone for that matter)? Hopefully pics of naked parts and pervert fantasies won't become the norm. Xbox Live is a great service for GAMES. Sony may have forgoten that.

Microsoft is a software company but there are different types of software, and Microsoft first and foremost is not a game studio. Otherwise why is Sony's internal development studio's larger than Microsoft's and Nintendo's combined? Microsoft has some excellent software engineers, for sure. But that doesn't translate into more games & better games for the X360, sorry.
I'd rather have dedicated servers than a free service. TrueReligion_
PS3 has dedicated servers. Xbox 360 does not, not when you play games. Games are hosted locally by players off their own Xbox 360's, not on Microsoft servers.

Microsoft won't make it free, especially after announcing that Vista Gold is something like $50.
