Can we even count on any M$ employee understanding growth and technology as a whole anymore? On Sony's PS3 topics, they dismiss HDMI 1.3 only to implement an inferior HDMI 1.2. Then they dismiss Blue-Ray storage (59g) versus DVD-9 (9g) for games but release a HD-DVD drive only for movies. Next their engineers can't grasp the benefits of the CBE but as any other engineer can testify at Stanford, the benefits and power are quit impressive. Now they miss the boat on online expansion. Live was good in it's day. But now it is a lag ridden cheater paradise over run with abusive youngsters ( parents must be out working to pay for it instead of parenting ). Just listen to the voice chatter. For a year head start m$ sounds like their playing catchup.

A person who says "right?" so many times has got a huge confidence problem. And that's the vibe i get all the time "hey Xbox Live is better then Sony's network...we have Second Life...right? huh? guys? hello?...*wimper*"

What he basically saying, is too hard for us to do it. Sony can't do it.

i am on xbox live and on psn and i like psn more than i like live this is because i dont get amican teens coming out with crap coments you can get on to games eg call of duty 3 for 360
was one of the worst games ever to try to have a mach with mates the same thing came up 98% of the time host lost i pay for live should not have this where as got cal of duty for ps3 have never had a problem geting on to a mach and it FREE
i dont get adverts on my home screen with ps3 i do with 360 it might not be much but it F me off

Well, I don't really want Second life on 360, an inspired 360 3D interface might not be so bad as the one we currently have.

Heaven forbid, they deviate to much on Live to appease the social networking crowd.
