yes, we know that.

this is only good for celebrities but either way it wont matter because only twitter/facebook/insta/youtube followers matter in the real world

fair point actually, was a touch annoyed a bit ago by the "X has come online" "X has started to play X game" messages on xbl so turned off notifications, but yeah if you have that turned off you also never get messages when you unlock achievements/gamer pics and avatar items from games which kinda sucks.

Okay so I found a couple articles saying it's 1000 but I don't know if it's the truth.

Wow, I've got about 60 friends on the PSN I've never managed to hit the full 100, Id imagine some of the famous youtubers will not want to give out their ID's in fear of having 100's of thousands of people they don't know sending them friend requests.

May I please have your controller when you are gone?  Would love to have my friends in person play with me too.

I've even show up to your funeral and say something really nice about you.  Like how you left me a controller and it made me really happy.

If I ever have unlimited friends, you can have everything I own. But you'll have to share it with my unlimited friends. 

For me to run weekly high score tournaments using leaderboards, I had to invite friends onto a friend list.  I ended up capping out the 100 list pretty quickly for Game Room, doing that.

Well, considering there is no word of the ONE having anything like leaderboards to base competition around, not sure I have to worry about the size of it.

Hmmm, seems like the Midas touch, sounds good, but there will be some hidden catch that makes it unbearable.
