I honestly don't get the big idea with Gamerscores and Trophies, I find it ludicrous tbh. Such features will never be a selling point or added bonus for me and I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling this.
Home looks cool but the Trophies bit seems to be its most useless feature to date.

I'd say the opposite... Trophies/Achievements are an extension of "high scores", something which has existed for very long. Home, on the other hand, looks like a gimmicky emo-oriented fad.

But hey, opinions...

 

 

I could care less about neither Home nor Trophies and would agree that Home is gimmicky... but emo? Huh?

I think it looks designed for the Myspace-type crowd. I mean, who else is going to waste time moving virtual furniture around to get a pretty virtual house where they can invite their friends?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think these Second-Life type things attract the emo crowd the most.
