Default Sony to use XFire for online play?

I find this as an insult to be completely truthful.

I would be paying Sony $600, and they throw in an existing software solution? Screw HDMI cables, this is an actual issue.
I know the flames are comming, I can't avoid them :3

That's interesting, I guess, but I don't see why they wouldn't just go ahead and make their own interface for the thing. It seems like it would be cheaper to keep it all in-house.

First, you would actually trust Sony with the creation of matchmaking services?
Second, existing users of Xfire will probably benefit, as you'll probably be able to use your existing xfire username and your buddy list will cross over. I think it was probably a good move on Sony's part due to the demographic they're targeting.

Yeah, using an already established network isn't a bad idea, though it's pretty easy to agree that Sony should have set up their own network YEARS ago.

WHAT PS2 online?
Also, does anyone else think this is kinda weird, announcing this about two months before system release? We knew a hell of a lot about new Live Features MUCH earlier than this :/ Could this be Sony's fall back because they tried their own playform?

No, but if it were something that were actually important, like announcing the fact that the playstation 3 will autodestruct after 2 seconds in your house, then yes it would be weird.
