In Game XMB & HOME, Will The Two Coexist Peacefully?

Clash of the Titans? BG21 takes a look at how these two will duke it out upon their eventual release, and questions will one become victorious.

[toughNAME]

EDIT - Microsoft also owns the patent to HOME

EDIT #2 - Microsoft just bought the patent for Sony Corp. and all its subsidies

[Breakfast]

You know that's not true. Why do you insist on being a fan-{roy, toy, joy, coy} all the time.

Heres the reason why the ps3 pwns the xbox:

Id like to see the xbox list. Probably the size of your one sided comment.

EDIT: This comment was updated a million times

EDIT #2: A million + 1....

[toughNAME]

Gears of War 2 trumps that entire list.

except for Loco Roco Cocoreecho! ...nothing trumps the Roco

[Breakfast]

You just put me to shame...im reporting myself as -SPAM-.

I think this, WEAKname, name is gonna stick.

[sonarus]

LOL wtf

[toughNAME]

toughguy
tuffname
snuffname
gayname
lamename
and now weakname

The nickname's never stick, Brunch

EDIT - hey! F*** YOU Brunch!

[Breakfast]

Oh no...keep commenting 4BubbleNAME...your catching up to your limit.

OOOOOHHHH....Thats why you keep editing your comments, because of the limit.

[Breakfast]

Oh...im just commenting again because i have a bubble to spare...nothing to see here...

[Sev]

Pretty annoying George. And totally not funny.

[toughNAME]

G.W - reported as SPAM

[Breakfast]

@ George

...you ruined it.

You made our last comments about you...i am also reporting as SPAM

Edit: Theres a point where you take things too far, and you crossed that point.

[George Washington]

@ breakfast
your the one that wasted like 3 pages of scrolling with your dumbass list. so i just made another list just to show how annoying yours was.

EDIT: i didnt even know i could do that LOL. i just copyd pasted it like 3-4 times, i thought it didnt work until i hit post.. then im like holy shiit!! ROFL and i just left it like that LOL

[Fishy Fingers]

You've only copied and pasted them from another site/forum so just use a link.

Reported as Spam. Both of you.

[Storm23]

Just wow.

[The Wood]

lol

you, toughname, are now officially funny. Sometimes we take this stuff way too seriously.

EDIT @ Fighter below

he was joking

[Oom]

I think toughtname went off the deep end. lol

[Fighter]

That was an April fools joke. People in UK or Europe have a head start on April fools by 5 hours or more depending on where they are that's why it looks like they post a day before but they are fooling us North Americans.

[joydestroy]

you forgot GTAIV as a stolen Playstation exclusive.

haha, i thought all of those comments were pretty funny though, thanks guys.

[Shadow Flare]

I like peanut butter on toast, but not on sandwiches

Discuss

[CrazedFiend]

The Gamer Zone has now OFFICIALLY FAILED!!!

I give up...

[LJWooly]

I hate peanutbutter on toast, it makes my mouth all dry. I'll have peanutbutter on sandwiches, though. I prefer jam on toast, it's much better. Although I hate when some idiot puts the jam in the fridge, then when you take it out to put it on your toast it's all cold, so it makes your toast cold, and cold toast isn't very nice.

Peanutbutter and jam (or jelly,as you americans know it) isn't nice at all, and I don't know how people can eat that crap. Alone, they're nice, but together, they're horrible. Like meat and custard.

[Shadow Flare]

LJWooly, you are off you're rocker mate. Peanut butter on sandwiches suck. They suck. On toast it sort of melts a little and it tastes so good. And the fridge is the home of the jam jar mate. Maybe you have a point about putting jam on toast yeah, cos cold and hot doesn't mix but jam/fridge, fridge/jam, it's a match made in heaven. But don't even get me started on marmite on sandwiches. That is possibly worse than apartheid

[LJWooly]

Ugh. I'll agree with you on Marmite there, it's just... disgusting. Then again, as the advert clearly states, you either love it or you hate it. I personally hate it.

Also, I don't hate the taste of peanutbutter on toast, it's just that, in my house, some tard always likes to put peanutbutter in the fridge, so it's all hard afterwards, meaning it sticks to the roof of my mouth and feels all coarse, and I can kiss my chances of that lovely melting sensation you described goodbye :(

Btw, you talking about crunchy peanutbutter or smooth peanutbutter? Crunchy ftw :)

[Shadow Flare]

the hell would i be talking about smooth peanut butter for, crunchy is where its at. Jam in the fridge is good, but peanut butter in the fridge...thats just all wrong. When you go home, you should personally punch in the face whoever sticks it in the fridge. But see, thats the thing though, cos i love marmite on toast yeah, but i hate it on sandwiches. Hmm, i guess that still complies with the advert. Definately try peanut butter on toast when its not been in the fridge though, it really is awesome. And also, if its your girlfriend or mum or someone who puts it in the fridge...its probably better not to punch them in the face

[LJWooly]

Yeah, I'll make sure I try it later. I may even dare to give marmite on toast a go too...

Bubble for this aweosme convo we got going :)

[Milky]

hahaaaa 'gears of war 2 trumps that entire list' Haaaaahaaa. Who do you think your kidding ?

[LJWooly]

Joe, he was kidding, by the way.

[jwatt]

I think Home will be released later on and in-game xmb will come soon I hope. I think Home will expand way beyond in-game xmb though.

[Xlll]

all i want is a release date.......

[khsmooth]

So one person made two different reports on one story for no reason whatsoever?? Can somebody explain this to me? And why is this being called Spam?

[Storm23]

Oops, nevermind.

[Oom]

They will co exist as well as ham and cheese.

:)

[The Wood]

There's a lot of anticipation towards what sony is trying to achieve this year. Some new things like home, haze some old things like MGS and Wipeout some strange like LBP and echochrome. What a year it will be

[Fishy Fingers]

This is nothing but specualation and guess work.

The question can only be answered after both are released.

[joydestroy]

i don't care. bring on the games. that's what i want.

[jkhan]

Totally Agree. Its the games that make or break the system. Plus I don't know anybody online anyways. None of my friends play video games & they think I am too old to play games anyways:( So I don't personally care about ingame-XMB or even Home. All I care about is great exclusive games;)

[gEnKiE]

"Gears of War 2 trumps that entire list."
Your kidding right?

[SL1M DADDY]

Anybody in their right mind would never say something silly like that and mean it. Gears 2 will be good but it will not trump any more than a single game and that will more than likely be yet another 360 exclusive. Nothing ont he 360 trumps the PS3 games these days. Now if the 360 had something like MGS4 or GT5, then perhaps but until then... It isn't going to happen.

[LJWooly]

Always back the Japanese, my friends. Always.

[Bazookajoe_83]

Ingame xmb when youre in a hurry and home will be more of a way to kill time...

[Isaya85]

I agree I think both will be good I say if anyone wants to use Home should us it and if anyone wants to use the in game XMB should use it nothing wrong with having a little variety

[SL1M DADDY]

Give me a break. There is this wonderful thing I like to call choice. Giving us the option of Home or in-game XMB will not ruin the chance of one or the other making it in the gaming world. I for one will use both and when I want to congregate with my clan I will use home, when I want to invite a friend into that game or another I will use the in-game XMB. They will be used in conjunction. It's just that simple.

[Bazookajoe_83]

Little big planet will pawn everything this year =)

[Cdaja]

I agree! Little Big Planet for all.

[Milky]

LittleBigPlanet will be the most innovative game this generation. It will be AMAZING.

[Shadow Flare]

I still think Home should have an option whereby when you start up the ps3, it launches you straight into Home. And Home's ingame psp has an ingame xmb, so...why wouldn't they co-exist?

[Mr_Bun]

Just give me the in game XMB...I don't want to waste my time in a virtual world looking at other peoples pics/vids...I just want to play a f*cking game. Does anyone think that HOME isn't a Second Life rip off?

[LJWooly]

I don't get where so many people got the idea that Second Life pioneered the 3d virtual chat thing... the idea has existed for... well, god knows how long, the makers of Second Life just took the idea and ran away with it.

[TheExecutive]

I agree that I am not going to be using home to socialize with too many other gamers but to think thats what home is all about is just straight up ignorant. There are tons of features and support from at least Sony games that will be awesome. I will use what enhances my gaming experience and leave everything else in the dust.

There are a couple cool articles from about 40 days ago that you should check out. use the search engine on Resistance, Warhawk, and Uncharted. plus the trophies system will be sweet.

Trust me when i say that there is a lot more to this HOME thing than just random socialization.

[Mr_Bun]

It seems like a lot of wasted time building the inside of your virtual house...does anyone care what type of furniture you have in VR land? It seems like the important things like inviting friends and coordinating with friends and inviting friends should be simple in be done while in game...not have to load up home and then invite them

[khsmooth]

While I think HOME is a very nice feature, I don't see myself using it that much once good ole in-game XMB hits the forefront. That's all I need is some in-game XMB and some MGS4 and I'm coasting.

[boodybandit]

It would just be nice to find this out for ourselves. Bring it on already!

[tigertom53]

well if you like sims I guess you my like home. I guess Microsoft could easy work with ea and and a Sims functionality to the 360 and that could rock. A way to connect with the 360 community and a game you could also play and that would be designed way better then plain old home.
-Tom

[light]

I want good games. other stuff i don't really care. 360 has already released several good games. Here we are on year and half and still no big exclusive game. Dont get me wrong, i am no fanboy but just gamer that want games in solid machine otherwise i would be long gone with 360. Mgs 4, killzone 2, lbp, afrika, ff13, re5, rfom 2, gt, socom and etc, they are all in my buy list but what i get is freaking lair. I am very thankful for cod4 which is the only game i can play over and over otherwise my ps3 would be just collecting dust. And all of you sony fanboy, learn to accept truth. 360's games are far better as of right now.
sorry, i am just kinda of irritated with all the bull crap. Just gimme the game. I did enjoy uncharted and tod.

[Milky]

I much prefer uncharted to any big 360 game I have played (I have played almost all of them apart from dead rising)

[PSWarlord]

Wat is this article about how could these to collide when one is used in-game and the other is actual a game (in-essence) itself!!!Or can you jump straight into home without canceling your game to chat to mates or listen to music which will come soon after 2.40 firmwire unless MS patent something else just to delay it....Sly ass microshit!!!

@breakfast....cheers for that list, didnt know that there were that many exclusives!!!Xbox pwned again!!!From that list all i want is ff13, MGS4, KH3, and white knight which looks amazing!!!

[uie4rhig]

"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully."

[TheJBag]

because i really want both...

[Honor_in_Armor]

so I would hope Home to come out a soon as possible (as so long it is complete and refined). Plus, I need to increase my friends list, therefore HOME would be quite helpful.

Come on Sony, I thought you was my HOMEy!!

[Dark General]

Coexist at the same time. If you seen the Kotaku articles about some of the upcoming features for Games with HOME features it seems spectacular. In Game XMB will be the fast way just to jump into a game, and HOME will be more for pre game stuff etc along with just chatting and checking out your trophies. I think both can fairly coexists. A quick option either way.
