I still never understood what was so important about this feature, tbh. It's similar to Achievements. People get in these screaming fits about how essential it is to the gaming experience, but i just don't see it.

While cross-game chat is a non-issue for me, and I couldn't care less if a system has it or not, I do understand that some people like to chat with friends on their gaming console.  I don't really get it, but I accept it.

Achievements and gamer score, on the other hand, are beyond me.   I agree with you there.

Honestly i'm fine with just a unified friends list that tells you when they're online, what they're playing, and allows you to potentially drop in to their match based on whether they're in a public match or a private one (if slots are available).

And allows you to friend agreeable randoms. That's really all.
