PS Home = WOW. Sony is upping the ante.

Lynn said: Announcing a unified friends list and having one are 2 different things. They have custom soundtracks in ONE game and you act like that is good enough. Still no custom sound tracks. So everything I said was true. Right now the PS3 does not have a Unified friends list, custom sound tracks or in-game messages. To check achievements on the PS3 you will need to launch Home and WALK to your trophy room. On 360 I click one button and there they are. Achievements on the 360 are a fantastic and innovative idea that just works great. On the PS3 they are an after thought and a hacked inferior copy of Live. Home is laughable. Not only is Home not cool it is stupid. The reason Home is getting so much attention is because PS3 fans are desperate for anything to justify their $600 purchase. Do people want to pay $600 to play Second Life? Have fun walking around in your Doll House. I will be playing real games like Mass Effect, Halo 3, Too Human and BioShock. Home is a nice bonus but not a killer app. Unless you are 13.

Funny it seems as if people think that home is an after thought. As soon as you launch home you can access any part of the world through the menu. Additional functionality that has been already underway are also coming. The first is to jump and criticize instead of researching. This reaction seems more like the attempts to downplay a very interesting software. It is one thing to say something doesn't appeal to you but to say it will only apply to 13 year olds is pretty leap. How did you come to this conclusion?
