And no they aren't 'borrowing', when the whole system is based off of things that were introduced almost 2 years ago, and then tagged with the name Xbox on it, I think that is pretty much copying. From game launching to the show games to the streaming to the spaces to the avatar creation, it simply is a big copy, and I have no doubt in my mind of this. Being in the beta I have actually used it, and what they are talking about 'vision of the future' are things blatantly ripped off, but since many people haven't used Home enough to know this, I guess its not that spread.
"Sentry said:Wow, seriously? Go back to E3 2006, articles everywhere and people flaming echother over it. Everyone thought it copied it."roofy said:i have never heard anyone say that teh SIXAXIS was copying the wiimote. just because its motion sensitivity doesnt mean there was copying involved. and the worst part of your arguement is that the word avatar was solely for Sony and HOME. are you serious?"Sentry said:It most definitely can. So something has to be out for someone to copy it? OK thats like saying the SIXAXIS didn't copy the Wiimote at all since the Wiimote wasn't out yet. nice logic?"Jayge said:"No. My argument is not singularly "avatars are retarded" or anything like that. My assertion is that they're lying. You're using a PR guy saying what people want to hear as some kind of evidence. My assertion that they are *lying* still has legs.
And Sentry, what am I being a fanboy of exactly? :-P

I meant you are coming off as a hater, maybe not a fanboy but a hater to this whole new thing. I know it does suck but its not THAT bad. Avatars are a complete rip off in so many ways. In fact I could even make a thread on how Avatars=Miis/Home, Lips=SingStar, 'Newton'=Wiimote/SIXAXIS, New XBL vision camera game=Eye Toy/PS Eye.
Stuff like that, they are rorally ripping everything they see in Sony and Nintendo that is casual, and slapping it on 360. :\ But the update isn't as bad as you make it out to be.

haha i love how people keep saying that Microsoft is copying Home with the avatar system an the Live party system.
why hasnt sony released home yet? if microsoft has been copying then shouldnt the competition have something out for them to copy?
no doubt that it is a Wii Mii copy but it cant be called an Home Avatar copy
"
And thousands of people have been using it for more then a year now (like me), so its out there not only in development. Being the beta myself I can tell you its 100% fact that they are copying Home, not only in avatars (even used the same name lmfao), but in the new game show things which Sony had since before August of 07, game launching as well as streaming content and whatnot. It's really obvious to me, I guess that helps since I can testify for both sides more so.
"
in that logic of yours then Sony has been copying forum culture? I think what your trying to say is that they are borrowing the likeness, not cpoying
