Oh yeah, I understand the fun that's had by playing with friends. I have 2 or 3 friends I play games with regularly...and I can find out if they want to play Borderlands by texting them, 'Want to play Borderlands?'

I realize my own experience can't invalidate the entire idea of needing consoles to be so 'community' centric. I'm just wondering if it's true that a significant amount of gamers (or even an insignificant amount) are getting so many messages and invitations over Xbox Live or PSN that switching inputs for a second completely destroys their experience.

You're not going to text 24 friends and see if they want to play Borderlands. What I'm talking about is more like "Cheers": there's a place that everybody you know hangs out, and you show up, and there's people already there. You chat with them, do stuff, catch up. That's the currently reality of console gaming for tons of people, and it's very common.
