Ps3 over taking the 360s growing lead....

[nightsurge]

The NXE enables 360 users to party up in groups up to 8 with a universal 8 person dedicated chat. The party can then jump in and out of games instantly, together. No more messing with muting people =D

I'm sorry, but the NXE is WAY more advanced than the XMB. First, it's server based which makes things very fast and changes can be streamlined. Second, it initiated the other great community feature I mentioned above, as well as the ability to share files and videos while in those parties. Third, it enabled Netflix users to stream directly to their HDTV's. Fourth, it opened up the community so they can create their actual own arcade games and sell them, and even make a profit! That beats making levels in LBP which aren't even your property as per the Sony EULA and ToS.

Really, the only thing new Home is bringing, is the virtual world to walk around in. I find that unnecessary since if I want to go bowling with friends or play chess, etc. I can jump into a party then hit the arcade games. Don't get me wrong, I hope Home is great and I hope Sony can bring some great new features out to get me to use my PS3 some more, because right now I have only owned 1 game, and I sold it after it got unplayable online because of the horrible lag (not my internet. I have 20mbps and had everything configured correctly).

Here's hoping Killzone 2 is great!
