    Rumor: My GamerPad: Microsoft's answer to Home?


    Over the on the 4Chan boards a user has put up an image of what appears to be the Xbox 360's version of "Home", also incorporating the Avatars that were rumored earlier this month. Xbox 360's MyGamerPad is rumored to be unveiling at the E for All expo.
    Xbox 360 My GamerPad.

      Yes, yes it does, and I haven't even seen what Home is supposed to look like.

        That looks laughable. They should have just thought of something else instead of ripping a poor man's version of Home. MS will just embarrass themselves at E3 with this since it will be compared directly to Home.

        EDIT:

        When everyone said MS is going to pull a desperation move in E3, they weren't kidding. MS didn't need to do this. They should have expanded their resources into getting more and better games. If people are really going to want this, no doubt they go with a service like Home which is free.

              Its a mix between Miis and Home? MS try to be original, not copy what you like from BOTH competitors.

                I don't either, because the crowd they are going for with this would seem like more of a younger age group the way these character models look to me. That is just my .02 cents.

                  Yeah, I didn't think it was possible to make something worse than the 2nd Life rip-off that is Home, but if this is true, MS have outdone Sony. That being said, I'll wait to see some details here just as I will with Home. Neither service is remotely interesting to me right now.

                  What happened to originality? MS rips off the Miis, Sony does "trophies", etc.. Nintendo, for all its criticism, is still the only one with anything resembling unique ideas recently.

                    This is just the game industry. If you think about it neither Achievements or Home are original.

                    If you think harder both come from NFL 2K5. NFL 2K5 had "achievements" and a crib (Home) which allowed you to decorate from completing achievements. Those ideas were just expanded further on. For one, I'm happy there is competition. I just don't know why MS is investing resources into this.

                      Keep in mind this is 4chan, the world of underage porn, fecal nastiness, and other less than acceptable behavior. Take it with a gigantic grain of salt

                        The character's shadow looks real iffy. Absolutely hideous shading on the shirt. The character is perfectly straight while the menu is tilted slightly to the left and inward. The whole thing just looks incredibly amateurish and the fact it originated from 4Chan, I'm calling fake. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft did do something similar to Home though.

                          If this is real, and the more research I did, the more I feel it's totally fake, but if it is.

                          They should call E3 "We copy you, you copy us".

                          MS with Mii's and My Gamer Pad

                          Sony with Trophies and Life (the Wii's news and weather rip off)

                          Nintendo ..well, I'm sure they'll introduce some copy of the one of the other 2.
