-You still can't invite friends.
-You still can't send voice messages.
Useless.[/QUOTE]I doubt the invite friends thing will ever be added, because it was never standard in the first place (and even adding it, it would be messy). I could careless about voice messaging, since I NEVER voice message anyone on 360 even (I only send text messages, since that's what I'm more comfortable with personally). PS3 isn't bad because the text messages allow for like 500 characters I believe and PS3 supports just about any USB keyboard (which I have). If PS3 wasn't supporting USB keyboards, then I might have complained.
[quote name='js1']I still think, it's better than where they started at, and for being free it is excellent especially when compared to what the wii offers. I think because MS has been at it longer and charges that they will always be better at this than sony. For free I can't really complain.[/QUOTE]
QFT.
[quote name='Thomas96']PSN has nice avatars, but wouldn't you like to be able to use some of your own?[/QUOTE]If we were paying for PSN, Sony would likely do it. It's a matter of Sony would have to pay for server space to store the pictures, and I really doubt they'd do it. Plus, the main reason they do not have it is because someone COULD upload offensive/nudity content as an avatar (such as a nude girl, racists symbol, etc. where children could be exposed to it). That I think is the most likely reason we will not see it (during a game, there's already a rating saying content may differ online, but on the XMB itself is a different story). Most would be mature enough to not upload anything offensive/nudity content, but there will be someone who will do it.
But a big reason I do like the avatar selection is, I love Ape Escape, God of War, Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, Hot Shots Golf, and many other first party PlayStation franchises, and they all have avatars up. I'm glad I do not have to pay for pictures I really like (and not be stuff with ones I do not like, like on a certain other console).
