It looks very good...I'm sure I'll at least mess around in it....but even I can't help but think...what if they had this ready at launch..or near launch..or in year one.

As long as I can use XMB still, then its cool.

to those who bash wiimote plus by saying "why be excited for something that should have been there from the start" Well the same can be said about this, so don't be hypocrites in that respect. Also anyone excited for this should never say anything bad about Animal Crossings either. Apparantly AC is hardcore if this Home is the bomb.

But personally for Home, I can see why some would be excited. Me personally I would spend a few minutes messing with my home or something, you know basically like how if I'm bored once in a while I'll go on Sims and build a house. (never play the game just build a house for fun).

And throwing in trophies or whatever from games and what not could make a sweet looking house. But other than boredom from no games i feel like playing I wouldn't do anything. I wouldn't sign in home and run my character to a lobby to play. Just seems like an unneeded process. So I wouldn't use it.

no video -- lame.

-edit-

Hmm, works now but now it autoplays and I can't seem to start and pause it.  double lame (super slow internet connection at work).

 Well by your logic no gaming is better than gaming since its cheaper...

Anywho, looks nice...I'd fiddle around if this came out and I still had a ps3.

Its look MUCH better than last time I saw it. I was a little worried after some of the reports about Home I saw earlier, but I think it will be just fine when it eventually comes out, which might be late next year unfortunately.

@ irstupid

can u please eleborate on how much wiimote plus will cost and how much animal crossing will cost?

i dunno why u have brought them up for. il say again home is a free network. u dont have to use it if u dont want to

It looks great and looks like a lot of work went into in. While I'm personally not really so interested in Home, I can see it's a really cool and novel concept.

Okay, it kind of worked now (started with telling me [no video], then autoplayed and couldn't pause it, then I saw about 20 seconds, and now it's buffering again I guess -- fuck all that, get a better player).

From what I saw, it still doesn't change my opinions. I admit, it's great looking and I'm sure it's a cool free MMO/chat room but that's it. When I want to play a game or watch a movie, I don't want to walk somewhere to play that game, I want to play that game.

To play a game at Home you have to walk from your current area to wherever you have to go to launch games. Lets just assume there aren't load times and that's still shit. In an MMO it can take minutes to walk across a city so we can assume it will take minutes to get to where I want to go. In a world where we bitch about 20 second load times and put up with 8 minute installs to get rid of those, that really sucks.

Now lets assume I can warp to specific areas. so I'm at the coffee shop chatting with friends and I want to play some Uncharted. I select the warp menu, select my apartment, and load my apartment. I wait about 15-20 seconds, then select Play my game, and then wait for the game to load.

I understand Home is cool and new but it's a hassle. It is in no way convenient and that's why people will ultimately forget about it.

-edit-

Of course I will fiddle with this when it's released but I don't think it's going to last me more than a week and I think that's how it's going to be for most people.  I think most people would rather just get to their game.
