I find it ironic that many PS3 users* ranting about Wii's "non-games" are so excited about Sony's "non-games" (Home and apparently Afrika though even less is known about it).
I join Twesterm in thinking that I and most people will not be interested by it for more than the novelty factor: i.e. I think Home will be a fad that will dwindle to slowly growing a niche audience with time, with a steady influx of new users as people buy PS3's and try it out but with most of them sticking with the xmb in the long run (the few that don't accounting for the "slowly growing" part of the beginning of the sentence).
However, I do hope that those of you interested by it will enjoy it as much or even more than you think you will and if it turns out to work as well as Sony wants it to work as a xmb replacement/complement then I will gladly change my opinion of it as it looks really neat... just really impractical too.
Oh, and BTW, as a non-PS3 owner (yet) can someone explain to me what is the difference between a good old menu at the top with drop down submenus and a menu in the middle of the screen with submenus half dropping down and half going up (a.k.a. the xmb)? Is it just that the xmb can have pictures in it whereas traditional menu bar and children element don't or is there some other feature I do not know/understand?
