 I wonder how much of the functionality in home will be "paid content" though (as this is listed)? Sony has to defray their sunk development costs somehow, right?

 

Same.  It'll probably be like those free mmo-games and second life and such.  Free to run around in and the basics are free, but to get cute new things, pay up.

Understandable, as you said they need to get back their development costs AND hopefully for them make a profit too.

 

I could have swore I read somewhere they were going to fund things through advertisements.

Ah, true.  But I've also read that microtransactions would also be a cash source for sony...

Nothing says they can't do both though ^^

 

 

I think Sony will be selling items non essential to the home experience such as special clothing , extra games , features etc. Similarly to  F2p MMORPG's you'll have to pay to make the most out of home but money shouldn't stop you from enjoying the experience ( if home is the kind of thing your into in the first place.)
