u can buy many items at the same time i assure u it was 40$ but maybe way more.

m$ charges u just to use NXE, not only that they throw ads in it, yes u are paying to see ads.

the OP forgets to mention the mall he was in isnt the only mall. Aren't they split up... so now if we can only figure out how many different malls there are

i think it changes depending on the number of people who are in a mall.  the more people the more malls.

Pathetic simply pathetic.

Most people laugh at "2nd lifers" you know. Most gamers.

Buying clothes on Home you should be embrarresed, just make sure you don't get seen doing it.

I'd rather get caught masterbating as a 12 year old child than get caught bying pretend clothes.

...And yes, the MMORPG lot are losers too...According to the general public and I'll go with that.

My god this is unbelieveable, if I didn't have anything better to do than look at vgchartz I'd never come back on principle!

Well the majority of PS3 owners wipe their ass with $600, so throwing away money for nothing is really old hat to them. Ask Chad Warden. He taught me everything I know about the PS3.

Well, this is a lot of if's, but here it goes:

IF this is a regular amount of money spent every three minutes, one can assume that certain periods will have increased amounts of sales (those santa hats for example).

There are apparently several malls around (making it more profitable).

People may decrease spending, but if Sony increases the things that can be done in Home, it may be upheld or increased.

More people may enter home, increasing the amount of income.

More items can be bought per "pop", so it may actually be more.

It was said that home made more money already on its first day (or week, can't seem to remember) than the first week of their video service, and there were some very good movies available in that first week apparently.


So all in all, not even adding in the advertising, they may have a little cash cow of their own now (compared to subscription for live).  Even if it cost 10 million to make, they'll get that back in little over a year (if these 40 dollars per 3 minutes is pretty accurate).

And let's not forget that Europeans pay in euro's, making it even more profitable for sony, compared to the US dollar.

 Its not hating, its called having some bloody common sense and some maturity as a grown adult.

People don't have a vendetta against your pride and joy they have an isssue with concepts\ideologies that are frankly absurd.

Some people don't want to listen you sound like one of them.

You tell me why this is a good thing?

It's not so much the concept that's the problem, it's you people here who are supposed to be intelligent human beings SUPPORTING the damn thing just because you like all things Sony and all things Playstation.

Wake up for god sake, its ugly!

Let me end this thread for good. That "ching" you hear is NOT someone purchasing an item in Home, but a piece being captured in chess. Hope this will clear up any problems you guys had!

No they don't, get you're facts straight.

NXE and all its functions are 100% free....

Not only are you wrong but it's also completely besides the point. You and many others defense for something being wrong is that "Well, Microsoft does this so there...so it's ok".

No it is not OK. 2 wrongs don't make a right! Have you never heard of that saying. How old are you people?

It might be the internet but if you spoke like this in the real world....my oh my....you'd have a verbal clouting you wouldn't forget!

lol this is probably what sony hoped for with home. to get them money and its doing that.
