You know, I really have to hand it to Sony. With games like Little Big World and interfaces like Home (second life, only interesting, with good graphics)

I thought, maybe Sony really is going to do something different with the PS3 and be a worthy contender for the money of consumers. Then some doofus at Sony had to go and say this.

Home is a first of its kind 3D community that allows for open interaction between consumers, SCE and third party partners. It is a truly interactive, global community of users. Xbox Live is a static, 2D, text-heavy environment that can’t match the rich community features found in Home. Xbox Live community interaction is much more passive and limited to the members on that friend’s list.

Yes Sony, I would much rather run for 5 minutes, to the muliplayer room to see if anyone is playing my favorite game. I entirely believe that home could have stood on its own, without comparing it to Xbox live, but Sony felt compelled to throw some lemon juice on the wound. Great PR move.
