The NXE looks too similar to the Mii. So to answer the original question, no Home does not look old compared to the NXE.
I could care less about avatars, bubble machines, and dancing. I will leave those features for the younger gamers to get excited about. The only thing that interests me about the new direction that consoles are moving in is the game spaces offered within Home. If these spaces are well done and supported, I will spend most of my Home time there. If not, at least I won't have to look at it everytime I turn on my PS3.
Can 360 users still use the blade interface? I seem to recall a lot of threads about how great/innovative the blade interface was. It would be a shame if MS just scrapped it.
Thanks for the input, Jeff.
