you are missing a lot of the other features taht home has. also werent you 360 fans complaining about how the ps3 had all those games that were installed onto the hardrive and now your anticipating it. hypocricy is a funny thing.

installing will be completely optional and only serves to enhance performance. its not mandatory like the ps3. i will only be installing 1 or 2 games that i play very often

im just wondering if oyu have a ps3 because it sounds to me like youve only heard about the installs mainly about mgs4 which is the only mandatory install ive had. other than that all the games ive played have had optional installs if they do they are samll except for maybe sc4 and mgs4. but it was well worth it for the quality of gaming i got out of it.

i've owned one before and mgs4 had brutal installs and many load screens. i dont have to go into it because i assume you played it and know how many times it installs. dmc4, bioshock, hot shots golf (which is 1st party), sc4, gta4, ng sigma, heavenly sword, gt5 are games that have mandatory installs i can think of off the top of my head.. i've seen a list somewhere and its quite long

ok i looked and you may be right about most of those except sc4 but how do u know the 360 wont have some games taht are going to ahve mandatory installs??

[QUOTE="too_much_eslim"]NXE for the mere fact it has more to do with gaming then home does. It isn't about having an apartment and accessorizing the the place. The avatars in the NXE are actually used for gaming unlike home. Also the overall package of the new update exceeds everything the old live and PSN combined.desyple
home will be used as a gathering place for gamers and u can get a group together and go visit game spaces and actually jump straight into a game with the people that you meet there. so it has to do with gaming and more.

I know what home does. NXE has more to do with gaming then home does.

I know home has those lobbies so you can go into games and I also know it has some free social games like pool, bowling, and some other board game. However it also focuses too much on the apartment and fixing up the place. You really have to spend money to do anything with the place.

The NXE everything deals with games outside that netflix. Even the avatars are use for gaming. They unveiled this new thing called primetime. These are basically game shows that comes on at the same time it does on tv and you use your avatar as a character for the game. Xbox live as it is much better to gather friends, but the NXE makes things even better then what it is now. You don't have to go to a lobby tioo gt yor party to gether just send out invites and evrybody is together. Then you don't even have to play the same games together. The NXE is just better overall.

Not at al interested in home and I havn't even heard of NXE. But I'm willing to be it's some lame, not a game, feature that will be totally irrelevant to why I would buy a system.

honestly i dont see how any of that had to do with gaming either. tv shows gaming is the only thing and im sure things like that will be implemented into games like jeapordy.also the highlighted sentence confuuses me.also i dont remember hearing anything about paying for your apartment could oyu find a link because im curious about that as well.

your not paying for your apartment, but you have to pay for stuff to improve whats already there. For instance you want a leather couch you ar egoing to have to pay for it. everything i said deals with gaming. If you ever played halo and did big team battle you can now have your entire team in a party chat. Now you don't have to press any buttons to talk to your team mates and only your team mates will hear you.

In gears you can now talk trash to your friends since you will all be able to communicate. the 8 player chat is the best thing ever. ALso lets say you and a group of your friends just want to talk , but not play the same games you can. Four people can play Uno and another four can play Halo and still be connected. Even better you all can play 8 different games and still talk to each other.

i dont mean to come across rude or annoying but youve only mentioned one thing that has nothing to do with the avatars and from what i recall, ive been able to talk to my teamates in game for a long time nowin gears and halo. also the 8 player chat with players in other games does sound good though, but thats about it for me.

I already told you what the avatars are used for. It isn't used to meet people like it is done in home. From my understand you can't walk around with the avatars and visit a friend of yours.

It represents you as your gamerpic or as a character for teh game shows.

and i said that same functionality could be applied in home as well but to a bigger extent with the added interaction with other players. and your character in home represents you as well, like a 'gamerpic'. i still dont see the difference.

The fact of the matter is it isn't. Also the avatars doesn't do anything else then what I already said. It isn't about going to other people homes or going to a movie theater with them. If you check on you tubeof people in home they ar edoing a lot of pointless stuff that wouldn't benefit at all as a gamer.

The funny thing is I think I said home sucks or something. I just said NXE just has more to do with gaming thats why I prefer it. Everything I said about NXE did.

Well with Home it just seems like you've been there done that before. Plus Home doesn't change that whole XMB interface and such. While the New Xbox Experiences changes everything and just expands your connection with friends. I'm interested in how customizable you can customize your avatars for both Home and the NXB, but I'm more interested in the whole New Xbox Experience more.

If you can't get your head around the fact that you don't need to install onto the HDD, it's just optional. Not needed.

Lemmings vote TNXE. Cows vote PS3 Home. Manticores vote 50/50. Should be pretty even.
