Your incessant defence of everything Sony is getting silly DMJ. They are paid to evaluate home, because it's free they should say it's brilliant? No. They are paid to tell people whether an experience is worthwhile or not. While home is free, using it still takes time. They are telling people it is not worth that time you would put into it. Home is just a bad idea. Remove all the rubbish about accessing videos through it etc etc. 3d interfaces don't work. Instead it should have been something like animal crossing where it is a social space and a game. Not a bad 3d menu interface and a social space. Oh and it isn't even in the slighest the same as getting free money. Free money would let you do whatever you want with it. Home requires an investment of time. It's more akin to getting a free gift, which is wrapped up so elaborately it takes a week to unwrap, then it's just a pack of chewing gum. Sure it was free but the time spent getting it was wasted. It's why companies can do things like offer so many free drinks or whatever in contests, because often the process of obtaining the item is so much hassle it outweighs getting the free thing. Why have Sony decided to make a social space and a menu system in one? Watching movies, buying goods etc are all done much easier through other methods. Why must you wait to play the free games in it? It's clear that home is really a way that they have thought they can have people in menu's for longer and so gain more advertising revenue. |
And how exactly do you no this. There are millions of PS3 Home users, Millions. VGChartz users, many of which haven't even tried Home are not the majority. On my friends list out of 56 people, 46 are constantly on Home and like it. Do you see what I mean, you do not know what the majority favours.
