With the new XBox experience, Live party allows up to 8 friends to go everywhere on the 360 together....if they all have the same game. Apparently its very seamless with little to no waiting.

Correct me if im wrong here, but Home seems tedious as you all have to meet up in an apartment or the "warhawk lobby" or whatever and then go into a game. It just seems like it takes up too much time for a bunch of people to get into a game together.

i dont know, thats just me.

I could careless for HOME, not sure why Sony is investing so much time in it....but anyways I like the traditional method of doing things, popping in a game, being able to see what room your friend is playing in, then jumping right into it. the end.

I agree that live party is probabally more seamless but Sony isnt trying to make a seamless experience designed to appeal to hardcore gamers, they are trying to attract the more casual gamers with the Home concept of meeting up in a room or lobby and being able to walk around. A 20 year old hardcore gamer might have no interest whatsoever in Home but a 20 year old female gamer might be. I think Home is a big gamble but hey, thats what makes it interesting.

Me too, I do see Home as being a good place to meet up though. Almost like a private channel with stuff to do while your waiting for that one friend who has the weak bladder and always needs to use the bathroom at the last minute.

I thougt it was 8 way private chat. :| either way, it's a very nice improvement over the 2 person private chat. :) Netflix will be nice on XBL seeing how you can invite your friends (who don't even need to have a Netflix account) to watch the movie with you.

u can invite friends to watch tv/movies u rented from the video marketplace. As for Netflix, everyone must be a suscriber.

hey at least it works with the video marketplace.......

So based on everybodies response........Live Party and the 8 way private chat are just some examples that are really gonna imprrove Live.

So if Home from a gaming standpoint isnt as fast as Live Party and if its used for non-gaming social purposes, how come cows believe Home will elevate PSN to Lives level.........when the New Xbox experience only aims to WIDEN the gap?

it astounds me.

I believe PSN is already better than Live.

It's free, supports bigger games, lets me access my PS3 remotely via PSP, has an internet browser, less DRM, and overall more features. And I'm estimating within 6 months more people actually playing games on it.
