I am not to keen on home and this is one of my favorit features but the waiting in line sucks.. lol

anyway.. this is about as clear as copying will ever get

This is one of the worst decisions Microsoft could ever make. Nothing on Home is worth being replicated. They should just continue to make more exclusive Avatar games. Whats so hard about that? Microsoft doesn't need to copy anything online that Sony creates because  online is their strong point. I don't understand. Online-wise Microsoft doesn't even seem desperate.

Microsoft just copy Home, HOME would be better on XBL because more people have mics.

Shit just make a Avatar City, with avatar clothing stores,bascially turn the hole marketplace into a City. 

Sony, Nintendo or Xbox hasnt had a problem copying things from other consoles.  If something works well others will be sure and try and implement it.  There has been some form of copying going on since the beginning of time on every item.  As long as it makes a console better I don't have a big problem with it.  Just give credit where credit is due.  

Yes, because I'm sure Microsoft will give credit to Sony when they make this atrocious thing, I mean, Home was pretty bad itself, and this looks as if it'll be worse, I mean, atleast Home had more than just a games arcade, and quite a nice handful of game devs were having spaces on it, AND other companies such as Red Bull, but just an arcade... BAAAD.

So yeah, I highly doubt Microsoft will say somewhere "Special thanks to Sony for creating Home so we could copy them"

@jbrist

Yeah home is better because they have more space to walk around aimlessly for hours!

and MS may steal this but there not the ONlY one stealing...

Exactly. Sony took massive notes from Microsofts one year head start and created PSN nearly in the early iteration of Lives image. Thats the worst rip this gen and the Microsoft copying the mii's and avatars comes second.

M$ is copying someone else's ideas, how shocking.

Id rather navigate a menu for a few seconds than walk through some "arcade" trying to find a game.

You do realize there are other environments out there like home except they were made before home right? 

There is a long list of things sony has stolen from MS and there are no Special thanks.  Which there should be really for both companies.  I don't have a problem with it.
