We all know that Microsoft will be update the dashboard in the fall.Sony is due to release the public Beta for Home in November if all goes right. They are ramping up the invites to the private betas now,so they may try to get Home a little earlier,but I feel it will still be November.
Microsofts’ update for Avatars (this is me taking a guess) will probably be in hand before the end of October.Will it be that big of a deal vs Home? I don’t think so. I do think that it’s a psychologial deal for Microsoft to be the first one to release a social gaming update,but I think Sony’s idea is much more broader and will have a larger impact on the way Playstation gamers use their PS3.
While I think many PS3 owners are looking forward to Home finally releasing,I don’t hear many 360 owners clamoring for the Avatars.Maybe that will change after it releases.(I’m looking forward to the 1vs100 game myself).I guess we’ll just have to see if Kaz’s decision to push back Home was really worth it.
