No doubt about it, Live mops the floor with PSN. The Party system, Netflix, the ability to talk in every game, the ease of use all make it the better platform. PSN has came a long way since it started but it still isn't up to par yet. And home only adds to the wait untils that are already hurting the PS3. Wait until you can do something in home!! I may give Home another try in 6 months, but my hopes are gone.

To be honest HOME was probably the biggest single reason other than Blu-ray that I purchased a PS3. (IMO) Home thus far has failed in so many aspects. It really is dis-appointing that it has taken them so long to come out with something so bland. Maybe in a few more years it will be actually worth something but as it sits right now, it is all but useless.

Why is every frigging game in the place always taken? I mean how hard would it be to make more than enough spots everyone to shoot some pool or bowl? Do they have to pay extra licensing fees or something? Yes it does look nice on the outside, but if I could get more functionality out of it I could deal with everyone looking like Wii avatars.

Live owns PSN - Now all the PS3 fan boys should go home and huge thier machines...

You mean your reward for spending the extra money up front?  For my reward of spending less, I got Netflix HD, better online, more content, and up to 3 years of XBL and STILL be less than the cost of the PS3... hmmmm....  I'll feel bad when everyone has to get their PS3 controllers replaced because the internal battery stops holding the charge.  It's inevitable. Me on the other hand, I just use 2 pair of rechargable batteries for $9.

The problem with Sony fanboys is they don't realize that it's suicide to have PSN have as much as it does without payment. It's suicide for Sony. The saddest way for Sony to make some profit off of home is to make you pay for certain shirts and pants, when home should come with a fee.

I managed to have a lot of fun with Home, but it totally depends on who's on at the time. Trying to make the world's longest dance line, getting everyone to run 50 laps around the pool, and trying to "pimp" two girls who were away from their avatars, and standing side by side (I drew quite a crowd, and I definitely was ready to entertain them!).

The downside is that, even though it's just a free bonus, it really is just a glorified chat room. And since the PS3 actually HAS an internet browser, more often than not, I end up just going online to Gametrailers or some random porn site. It's usually more rewarding to use the browser than to try to entertain random strangers.

I still enjoy logging into Home but I hope it evolves into much more.

Random porn sites are the best sites.

What?
PSN has only XMB voice chat.
In Xbox Live, you can play any game and chat with your friends at the same time (Even if you're doing different things).

Use a Webcam? Xbox Live baby.

Xbox Live Vision:

There is nothing stellar in PSN.
Free stuff for cheap people.
That's my opinion.

Facebook may be a one of the few online communities to show how many friends you have, PSN not so much, in fact if that's what you thought I'd tell you to get a life.

for those that got all hot about home i only have this to post

i have live and i enjoy it, i dont mind paying for it b/c it has gotten me some great services that PSN cant offer
