I'd rather have the XMB in terms of getting to my games and playing it. But if I'm in a clan or want to talk to friends, "Home" looks like a great tool for online interaction. Either way, atleast Sony got the 2d aspect of their OS out the door before the 3d, the best part is that there's a choice (on whether you want Home or XMB) and no one has to pay a dime for either.
