Let's get this right once and for all shall we? Once they get the XMB accessible in game, there will be no major differences between the base functionality of both networks. What's left, achievements?
![LOL :lol: :lol:](/img/smilies/lol.gif)
If that floats your boat, HOME supports achievements, as well as lots of stuff that XBox LIVE does not, and will be available this year. A possible taste of things to come? Well, just a few insights if you feel that HOME is nothing more than a poor man's Second Life:
And yes, HOME is going to be free.
As for your second point, the XBox obviously provides games that suit your specific mentality (Wii does the same for Wii owners, nothing wrong with that apart from the fact that you don't get Wii owners strutting around talking bollocks). To say the PS3 has no decent games is a joke. Maybe you should rephrase that to say "it hardly has any decent ones I would normally play". Coming from someone that owns the same third party game (COD4) on both systems (WTF!), that is very odd.
Your final statement is also very very silly. Unless you want games like MGS4 and FFXIII to come to the XBox 360 and don't mind them being on 8 to 15 discs. What do you get for your £250? A technically less powerful console with a silly failure rate that sounds like a hoover, a gimped optical drive that will likely start to scratch your discs at some point and also sounds like a hoover, no Wi-Fi, a non-standard 20Gb HDD that will cost your around £120+ to upgrade, it goes on. The XBox 360 is a poorly designed low quality machine rushed to market in an attempt to gain a respectable foothold in the console business from a company whose last effort cost them over 4 billion in losses - if that has been any other company they would have gone out of business, but again Microsoft can get away with acting in this type of way. Believe it or not Pert, to Microsoft, this is not about games.
