So...When did PlayStation Home get decent?

Home still falters on the most basic level. It's just not a good social service. People for the most part don't go in there to hang out. They just go in occasionally to check out the latest spaces. They go in to look at stuff, and that's about it.

Imo, three things need to be changed to improve Home:

1. Allow you to save some spaces permanently to your HDD if you so choose, making access between areas easier.
2. Improve loading between spaces, possibly making some sort of streaming system.
3. Get game launching to work with all games, and make more spaces like the Warhawk space for other multiplayer games like Killzone.

In other words, they need to make everything more seamless, both space to space and space to game.

They also need to link your avatar to your profile, so that if you lose your data (like me) you don't have to start from scratch.

I completely disagree, as a somewhat common home user I have to say the community aspect in HOME is amazing, and because of it is why I come back, not because of the spaces (even though the bUZZ space is amazing, along with the new move theartre space offering free tv shows and possibli even movies). Also, there spaces are already DL'd permenantly to your HDD, they only re download when there is an update to that space. The loading times between spaces have been cut to less than half the time you had to wait at launch time, and yes I agree with the streaming system they are working on it for videos, the PULSE video in the newly enhanced mall is streamed and works amazingly well.
