I am not sure there is a point on posting that one a console forum, seeing as how most of the people here do their research. I am really curious as to how much of that stuff is gonna succeed. Home is pretty much a slam dunk. It's not really doing anything that innovative it's just a free MMO. The big question for Home is will it serve to make money or add a massive bandwith fee to the already massive production cost of the PS3. It's gonna be popular I can say that much, but will it attract new gamers? will it be a console seller? Oh and lots and lots of in game ads. Although I doubt they will interfere with gameplay. As for the Sony Store, the 5-10 dollar games are a nice draw, an obvious one. Free internet, this is a pretty mixed area. Sony is leaving the possibillity for developers to make their games Pay to play. So when they say it's free internet, that just means that you can go online for free, the individual services however... We will just have to see which ones are P2P and which ones aren't. The Media Center features. The only hope this has is if the Blue ray wins the format war and more than 15% of people start owning an HDTV. The current Blue ray movies are kinda poor in quality. Mobile devices... Can you honestly tell me that this will sell a single console this feature? Everyone has a phone and everyone has a cd player. Even Ipods. This is my problem with the PS3. It's got lots of features sure, but can anyone of you tell me how any of these are better than what you currently have? MS Live is reliable and sticks to what the hardcore online gamer wants, and it does it well. My only qualm with the 360 is that half of them suffer from the red ring of death. so it's kind of a risky buy.
