More PSHome details revealed...

I find it really interesting that Home does NOT run off Sony's servers - it runs off YOUR PS3. This solves many of the distributed issues with it - but also means you have to be running home, for someone to connect/join your little virtual world.

No... that's not quite the extent that I got. I got the. Your home/content/etc. is on YOUR PS3. Meaning when you log off... it's gone. When you log on. Pop, it's back. They say they plan on fixing that. As for the networking, I think it's a centralized server, and you only see the people on your friends list. (thus you dont get stuck with assholes attacking you for no reason.) if their on your friends list, You meet them. If their not... you dont. It's quazi P2P. ;)

With a 50-person limit, not sure how Sony is going to use this for "launches" or anything else substantial (maybe more people when running from their server).

This is your friends list, and the people you will meet in HOME. That isnt too big of a problem if you ask me. All sony needs to do is let you have more friends on your friends list. (not hard)

It a lot of ways, HOME is just a 3D game lobby/app launcher. Its much less substantial than I thought (was expecting a persistent world, where you could visit other apartments and people at anytime ).

Persistent world is coming, and you can visit your friends apartments/stuff when their on. And sony said they are working on making it persistent.
