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

Nobody's disputing that home isn't a complex app that requires time to load, and perhaps 45 seconds isn't that bad for what it's loading, but, generally, people couldn't give two shits about how complex it is, they want instant gratification. 45 seconds for an app to load is too long. I realise this, Rob realises this, and the advertisers also certainly realise this.

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


You don't have to spend money in Home. There is no forcing you to spend money. Most the Home World is free.

All the cool things cost money though, IE the apartments etc.

lol so that just proves the problem is not with home itsself, the problem is with the ignorance of it's users. which is basically the main problem with all the complaints of the service itsself, pure ignorance ... it's a duzy bro lemme tell ya.

"omgs MAG graphics suck" yeah it only has 256 people playing at once whcih is 10x as much as the average shooter but "teh graphics" lol.
