cklmb did you even read past the first sentence of my complaint?

Anyways looking forward to your next movie.



I agree that the success of Home looks rather uncertain at this point. BUT.. it is getting quite a bit of media attention, it will offer a refreshing way to interact ( b/c most people havent tried 2nd life or really gotten into MMORG's yet) , the theatre experience will bring quite a bit of people, and Sony can always upgrade the games that it will offer in the future.

It could do things like......

-put in a "casino" with funny money games
-put in trivia games which usually are all about interaction
-and a lot of other things that I can't just come up with off the top of my head =)

So, we could see some improvements and new features in home which will attract more people.  I also think that Sony should put advertising in from different companies as well, for advertising $$$, instead of just advertising Sony's own electronics, movies, blu ray, etc etc etc that gets old. 

 The core audience is going to be about 14-23, so Maxim magazine, coca-cola, tag body spray, etc would add some diversity to the ads instead of forcing Home users to look at the same kinds of things ALL the time.

 Sony should also at least think about offering a free headset with all PS3's that will work with games like warhawk or Socom or whatever as well as Home.  It makes sense to me for them to include all hardware needed at the time of purchase rather than making consumers buy something and figure out how to get it set up and so forth.



i disagree home is looking to be shaping up preettty good right now... not to mention that i have alot of stuff on my ps3 that i will finally be able to share...

 Is there any way that you could give a review of Home from what features have been available to you so far?  What do you like or not like about it?

Wish I was in the Beta...



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

The biggest problem that I am seeing so far is that every single feature that Home has, is already available in massive and free supply online. It seems to me that IM's do a better job of chatting with people online, and without the fuzzy mics. Personally, I don't wanna know that my clan leader is a 5 year old.

Don't get me wrong, Home still sounds like it has a lot of potential. There are some things like the setting up of clan matches on the console that sounds neat and potentially very useful. The personal space to display your own acheivements sounds cool.

all in one, find one thing that offers everything home will you cant.

home is free so your its available free online is pointless.

im is better then talking throuth a headset, LMAO.



I don't know about anybody else, but I feel that avatar customization and interacting with random people is secondary to the network features Home is bringing. Not bad if I want to play mini-games, but I'm more excited about things like grouping up with friends and all jumping into a game at the same time, the trophy room that should bring achievement like awards and such, movies and such available to watch, ect.



Home is bringing the match making capabilities of Xbox Live while also offering a Second Life like atmosphere to interact socially with other players. In addition to that, there will be Movies showing within Home eventually, trophy room (Achievements that you can see) and probably more mini games and such as a pass time.

I only see good things coming from home. I mean it's like you're telling me if I could have all these for free, I'd rather not because I don't think it's original enough or doesn't have enough in it.

There are patches you know, Home is already a lot more extensive than XBL is now and it will expand further with updates.
