2011 or later? Uhh...NXE lets you cache games on the HD
NXE lets you use avatars
NXE lets you stream netflix, and has better native support for VGAWhat's there not to like?
im not sure what the first one means so i probably wont use it, i think the avitars are a cheap knock off of the wii, and i bought my dvd player for watching dvds and my xbox to play video games, basicly there is nothing new that i would use, and all i really use my xbox for anymore is to play halo on the weekend with my buddies im not that into gaming anymore, the last game i bought was gta IV

Other than loading the games onto the hdd, the best feature so far is team chat. Wanted to chat with just teammates instead of listening to the opponents but was only able to have private chats. Now it supports team chat with more than 2 people!

^^ I like the team chat so you don't have to listen to all the little 12 years olds whine in your ear all the time. Just talk to the people you want to. The netflix is sweet, I've been catching up on my episodes of heros so I don't have to worry about actually seeing them on tv (since always busy). So far I like it, I may try out the hard drive caching tonight with forza and COD4.

1080p? Nope.
Upscales DVD? Not that I'm aware of.
Folding @ home/synergistic computing? Nope.Both have their strengths and weaknesses. The PS3's fatal flaw is a memory bottleneck but other than that, processing power is far superior to the 360. All-in-all, the notion that the PS3 is much more expensive than the 360 is totally overblown. When you actually compare the systems on a equal level, the cost is approximately equal.
Take it with a grain of salt I guess.

Sorry you've got your facts wrong man.
Propietary HD? Uhh NO? What is propietary High Def anyway? No such thing.
1080p? Yes
Upscales DVD? Yup
PS3 Games ? Two
Xbox 360 Games ? Million
Centralized quality assured online play? Yup
Folding @ Home? LOL who cares, my computer pwns a PS3 anyday in Folding$199 Xbox Cost with a 3 year RROD warranty
$399 Non Backwards Compatiblity PS3You've got to be kidding me about the Sony bullshit about the huge processing power that the PS3 has, its GPU is weaksauce, nobody gives a shit about CPU power becuase it doesn't matter.
If you really are too poor to care about paying the $5 a month for live, you should re-evaulate owning a current generation system, ask anybody with Live, the small price is well worth it.
Nobody gives a shit about BlueRay becuase nobody wants to go blow $30-40 on a disc that gains marginal quality. It's a sony gimmick that will never be anywhere near the market pentration of DVD's; Streaming media / Digital content delivery IS the future.
I've seen more and more PS3's failing as the lens's go out (I mean ALOT) in the past few months.
Look, I do this for a living; Xbox 360's have hardware problems, but MS is good about taknig them back and replacing them. Sony on the hand is not. PS3's fail ALOT, you just don't hear about it becuase nobody has one.
This generation console war is over, PS3 fanboys can go talk thier shit up some more, but the truth is, Xbox 360 > PS3

I believe he meant proprietary Hard Drive...
BUT...there is a way around that so you can hook up any external drive you'd like
