I do agree with you on the last part, though. All people do around here anymore is complain about what IGN said. Just don't read it anymore. :\ And this just backs up Null's argument in another thread that all people focus on are the negative comments.

im not saying it doesnt have its purposes that you can use it for, im saying its not a game and they included it. they coulda put a spot to put a headset in, or just used normal chat.
Mp3's can serve to music to listen to while you play games. its not a game, just as the picto chat isnt, but people can find uses for it.
However im a bit confused on the one sentence, i never meet people in a lobby before playing a game. lol. you just hop on a server where people are. why would you need to talk to them first? computer games especially, you hop on, it lists servers and how many people are playing on each server and you join one. you can talk DURING the game, but i never talk before.
Console games, which i think your refering to work a lot differently since people dont create constant 24/7 servers, they host games where everyone syncs up together. therefor people have to get together enough people before playing a game.
but even so..., tho they have a lobby where people can talk, no one uses it to organize games to play, they sometimes talk about meaningless stuff. but when they want to play, they just hop on someones game they created and are waiting for people to join. either that or on a 1on1 game they challenge random people.
But lobby for computer games, no, because theres no centralized server.
