I started writing and then I realized it got long, so I split it up with a summarized version and the detailed story verson, read what you want.

Summary

Does the XMB use more memory than dashboard, and if so how. I thought the xmb was more basic than the dashboard in its current state. different pictures in each blade, sounds from various different events, friends online new messages etc. And will the new avatar system increase memory consumption?

Home, is it gonna replace the XMB? I hope so, because launching a game like qore to do XMB functions seems pointless and stupid. Highly doubt i'd use it for any xmb functions. Probably just to play with.

Original Pointlessly long story version


So I watched a video with a developer talking about his new game and bitching about how the PS3 sucks and Xbox 360 suck, but Xbox is easier to make games because it has more memory available, and the PS3 will look better because of disc space and it's unfortunate that the xbox is limited like that etc.yadda yadda.

Needless to say me being a console and a ps3 fanboy it did sting a bit, but one thing he said stuck out in my mind as a lie. Of course I'm not sure, but it didn't seem right.

XMB uses more memory than the Xbox Dashboard. I didn't think that was true seeing how the XMB is basic icons and text and the dashboard is colorful and full of pictures and different pictures in each blade and with the addition of avatars I would assume that's just taking more available memory. Am I right?

Someone explain to me how XMB takes more memory than dashboard.

Also, Home!

It's obviously not gonna replace xmb if they're bitching about memory with xmb, i can only imagine home taking way more. So I would assume home will work like qore!

You launch home and it does what you want from within the download of home.

To me that sucks, I don't want to go into a program to do what I can with an xmb. I'll go in home to play around, but I'd hardly go into home to launch a game or go into home to look at trophies etc. That's just a long extra step to get to something.

Now if home replaced the XMB (if possible) and you can quickly do things with start button or something, that'll be fantastic. Other wise it's just a downloadable game to me with extra functionality.
