PS Home = WOW. Sony is upping the ante.

Sony has had plans for that announced long ago. custom sound tracks or in-game messages. once agian. Seriously. Read about the PS3. custom soundtracks. RR7 has already. And ingame messages are coming soon with V2.0 If I'm not mistaken... Along with unifyed friends list The only time I chat with others on Live is in-game. The only time I compare achievements in on Xbox.com. That's becuase the online side of x-box live sucks on that aspect, so it's only useful when your surfing the web. make it more innovative and fun. You'd use it on your x-box I'm sure. Home is just a pretty but much slower way to do achievements and match making. Really? From what I've read about the 360's system it sucks, and is fast... and sucks. I'd rather something be awosome and slow, than fast and suck! This is inferior by far. Yes the X-Box live service is. Also, everyone is acting like this thing just launched. Going by Sony`s past history Home will be late and have half the features promised. Microsoft will have the spring and fall updates to it`s Live service before Home is released. Sony's past history is why I think home will be great... and from microsofts RECENT history. Why I think it will continue to be... what it is. VISTA is so great aint' it?

Announcing a unified friends list and having one are 2 different things. They have custom soundtracks in ONE game and you act like that is good enough. Still no custom sound tracks. So everything I said was true. Right now the PS3 does not have a Unified friends list, custom sound tracks or in-game messages. To check achievements on the PS3 you will need to launch Home and WALK to your trophy room. On 360 I click one button and there they are. Achievements on the 360 are a fantastic and innovative idea that just works great. On the PS3 they are an after thought and a hacked inferior copy of Live. Home is laughable. Not only is Home not cool it is stupid. The reason Home is getting so much attention is because PS3 fans are desperate for anything to justify their $600 purchase. Do people want to pay $600 to play Second Life? Have fun walking around in your Doll House. I will be playing real games like Mass Effect, Halo 3, Too Human and BioShock. Home is a nice bonus but not a killer app. Unless you are 13.
