this system has massive potential... and hella yeah it looks god damn pretty (anyone else think that the water in there looks more awesome than real life water?) There are some major things that could cause problems though... why do the avatars have to be humans... couldn't they allow for more funky not so 'average' looking gaming avatars... why can't you make yourself a robot or a bot or something... that's just me, but I don't wanna walk around at slow ass human pace exploring this world. It's a very cool 'wank wank' feature I think. If it is functional and fast (as in you don't have to walk to your friends house u can just warp there) and it doesn't take 5 minutes to walk your character from one end of your trophy room to the other then it has more potential. OVERALL i think it may complicate things too much, the XBL menu and text system is quick and easy... It's cool, but I just have such a strong feeling of caution towards this thing.
