Home is too slow and I've been with it since before launch and I can rightfully say, it sucks.

I suspect advertises aren't interested in spending that kind of money for 'foot traffic'. Since you actually have to walk your avatar over to something and then you have to actually notice the advertisement.

Xbox Live dashboard is a much more profitable enterprise. Both cheaper and more effective which is why its worth so much moolah to the other guys and not Sony.

So having ads on your tv screen every time you boot up your PS3 is better? Maybe to the advertisers, but I don't want to see that crap. As for home, they are making money with it, Lucasfilm just added a store last week, and if you come here and brag 'i've had my PS3 for x amount of time and haven't been on home', may be you should! What are you bragging about, your lack of possessing a open mind? Go to home, check out the Bowling alley always filled with people, Uncharted 2 space is cool, the new LocoRoco space is hilarious, just check out all the spaces. It's FREE, there's ton's of free stuff to win and find (which is sort of a game in itself), and yes people do meet and make friends.

Makes sense seeing as Home updates almost on each startup, and takes so damn long to load initially, then to load every section you go in, then to load object, items, environment, and person all while your loading *face smack*

By the time i get through all that the last thing i'm interested in is an advertisement.

OH the wonder and joy you will be exposed to once your brain finally leaves 2006....imo

people that make sense.................... make sense.

I did Home for awhile, but it was a waste of time, and money(anything and I mean ANYTHING worthwhile in Home costs money).

Actually that was 2008 with the NXE. 20c per user per week over 16M average users = 200M or so?

The problem with home is it's not integrated with the xmb and takes forever to load, if it was instant- I'd guess it'd have a much greater chance to succeed. It usually takes over a minute to load into it that's just not acceptable for an app.

lol because there are tons of apps even remotely as in depth or as large or anything like home right, 45sec is not that bad
