I don't think many people understand exactly what Home is :P That's a big part of the problem right off the bat. Simply put, Home and NXE aren't aren't anything like each other. NXE seems more like re-convening that you have friends, whereas home seems like a way to interact with friends AND entirely new people. Look at it this way.
Instead of getting tossed into a multi-player match with 7 people you don't know at all and are put there randomly on the fly, with intention of just "figuring it out", you can enter a virtual lobby of sorts, where you can form parties, interact with other players, talk to people that have a similar goal, put clans together, find some "chick" that you think is totally into you and drag her to your house for some private chat ;) Who knows! It's just an area where you can interact with people on a more personal level.
They have "movie theaters" where you can go check out some new trailers, stand around the screen and make dumbass comments :P If your undecided on what it is you want to play, just stroll about town checking out some of the various game worlds they've set aside, go play someone in a game of chess :P Bowl! Who knows, after all, you surely don't at that point :)
The NXE seems like a step up from what it was before, but it still seems as blind as ever. Home seems so much more personalized. Well that's just my 2c :P
