I don't chat to friends.. don't know where that one came from.
Music isn't a big use? I could say the same about Blu-Ray considering I have no Blu-Ray movies while music is a big use to me, actually. Telling me to use an alternative means to provide a basic function just screams a big flaw in your argument for which is the better console. Furthermore, Sony marketed the PS3 as a media centre rather than just a games console so you would think music was kind of a given. Oopsy.
I guess that points me towards another reason why I favour the 360, when I bought the two machines, I bought them as games consoles. The XBOX focuses on this sole aspect while the PS3 tries to be so much more, maybe Sony were just biting off more than they could chew by trying to make it do everything. Then again, maybe you prefer the PS3 because of all the singing and dancing, whereas, like I say, I just want to play games.
What? :S No, it's because no other games console I've ever played on in the history of time as ever had to install the game. I would be impressed if once installed, the disc was no longer needed, but I don't expect to buy a game which I'm excited to play and have to wait for it to sort itself out. I don't see how it speeds up loading or whatever because I don't have any trouble with other games on other consoles. I've just been playing MW2 on the 360 for instance, and from turning it on, I was in a multiplayer match within a few minutes.
As for the PS3, it amazes me how Sony went from best games console imaginable with the PS2 to such an over-priced disappointment. I really regret trading in my PS2 and all the games.
