Really? The person who copied the Miis says they didn't copy it? Will wonders never cease. 

You said it was a pattented idea before Miis. This is not what your links say. Your links are Rare saying "Nuh-uh! It was our idea! So there!"

 

 omg Microsoft created a Virtual Self... and they did it by copying off of the Mii which itself is a copy off of the last avatar based system... all the way back till the first time you could make a character the looked like yourself or whatever for a game.

Last time I checked Home avatars are completely customizable and it still isn't out of the beta phase.

But I guess you know better.

Home is getting better every time I go on. Capcom and other companies are doing well. From Capcom I have won/unlocked prizes from RE5 and SF4: Shirts, statues of Chris, Sheva, Wesker and Jill; not to mention a treasure chest. With EA I have won Shirts from poker and some other stuff I can't find lol.

The potential is great. People dress up as there favorite characters when available and there are plenty of quests and areas now and coming soon that people can participate in. I love it. And there are always plenty of people on. I talking plenty.

I didnt read twes 2nd post but let me take a educated guessssssssssssssssssss on what he put.

This will be better then HOME. but that wont be hard because home is crap. bla bla bla

Goes on to bash HOME in every way possible.

Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

This sounds marginally more interesting than Home, which is akin to me saying I'd rather have a tooth capped than a full-on root canal.

The idea is lame. This is about gaming. Maybe some of you liked playing musicians in SWG but I wasn't one of them (and neither were 99% of the other people in the game).
