I was in the Home beta; this is going to be a train-wreck. Unless the client they launch today is *drastically* different from what we’ve been experiencing in beta, watch out. Sony is going to get flamed like they’ve never been flamed before.

They need more content like the upcoming sponsored “Red Bull” area (that lets you fly around in planes) before they launch this. What we get is a clumsy, slow moving, ugly avatar system with 3 or 4 mini-games and lots of people awkwardly standing around wondering what they’re supposed to be doing.

Once again, I don’t care about the stupid avatars. If it took sony 2 years to come up with this sad update than i feel sorry for them. There are much better things for them to be investing there money in like improving their online service. The fact of the matter is they were 3rd to hit the market. If you feel it is a better update than the xbox, so be it. My point was ps3 users jump all over xbox users because of a 360 update copying Wii, yet I make a simple comment about how sony is no better and I get these responses. Please try to actually prove me wrong next time instead of making my point. Wii had still come up with the idea prior to sony. Silly fanboy.

screw what they guy says above this comment sony has been working on this long before the crappy xbox avatars came out so ### you; you know nothing about the system. this have been over a 2 year wait for this and the avatars on 360 was only a rushed job because playstation was getting them!!

Can’t do anything? Actually both Wii and 360 allow you to communicate with other users. I am not too familiar with the Wii, but 360 has photo file share, arcade games utilizing the avatars, and a party system that supports 7 users simultaneously. But the fact of the matter is I really could care less about the stupid avatars. I stream Netflix and play games on my 360 and watch Bluray on my ps3. If I have a choice between which console to buy a game for, you better believe it will be a 360. ps3 does not have the same community 360 does. But my point was that ps3 fanboys jumped all over xbox with the launch of NXE, yet sony has done the exact same thing M$ did, they stole the idea from another company. The whole avatar concept was a Wii concept. Not M$ and not Sony. The functionality was not what i was questioning.

Yeah, you’re right!  Oh, wait, you can’t actually do anything, go anywhere or communicate with anyone using the avatars on wii and 360.  Maybe not the same boat afterall.  Good try though : )
