Microsoft doesn't need to respond to home. It will destroy itself, secondly its optional (Which means not everyone will have it). Sony doesn't understand how you win an online gaming war. You don't do it by creating second life. You do it, by making the online experience quick/efficient and sensible. I'd hope for Homes sake that Xbox live on the 720 doesn't blow them away. Microsoft knows how to make online gaming great because they are in the business of doing that even outside of the gaming industry.

Home gives people with no life a chance to live their sims dreams. To invite their gaming friends to their fake house, sit on their fake couch (That they cannot afford irl), talk to girls (Who are probably fat irl) and Buy clothes and other useless pieces of junk that leave sad asses who cannot advance in the real world salivate.

 

Obviously you understand nothing and from past posts you don't learn when people try to enlighten you. You are unworthy of your avatar. (coincidence)

 

I will try to explain a few things though.

Sony keeps expanding the experience of the playstation in new ways. Not to with any product win the war, but as a total package being massivly better. That's how it works. It's not just home. It's home, integrated with the games, integrated with psn, integrated with the xmb, integrated with your friendslist.. etc etc. They want to integrate all parts of the experience and that is where they succeed. And that is what will make Home successful.

 

It would be extremely foolish for you to say that Home wasn't created to battle the online superiority of Live. Just because i'm not pro PS3 like you, doesn't mean I don't want one and that i'm not a fan of Tekken. I'm a huge fan of Tekken. You can bet your bottom dollar that i'll get it, and theres nothing loyalists like you can do about it. I'll get MGS4 too which is one of my favorite franchises in gaming and i'll laugh in your face with that. Home is taking the online experience too far, where it needs not be. It will be too scattered and you will be bombarded. Think about a time when your online experience was bearable, now...it will be impossible once you're adding every fool who walks by and challenges you. Hey "lets go shopping together!"Where do you live? "Bancock!" Oh...ok..i'll run over to the store. This is a depiction of home as i've seen from movies of it. It's not online, its second life. Get it through your head (I don't care if you want it, it's optional) that it will take your online experience where it needs not be. Watch certain people are going to get sick of it and get rid of it after a while.

 

 

I didn't say you weren't a fan of tekken. Simply that you were unworthy of the tekken avatar with your uninformed posts.

I don't care if you will get tekken, infact the more it sells the better. Why on earth would i mind ? Go ahead.. laugh.. i'll laugh with you. It'll be fun.

The issue isn't that you aren't pro sony, but that you are freakishly anti sony. Don't say you aren't. You barely have anything postive to say and you disregard anything said by others and attack any pro sony or pro playstation post in a poor attempt to force your own opinion through.

Basically you are saying that evolution is fail. Well, not evolving things is true fail. Expanding things isn't a bad thing. That's like saying the guy who ptu the jump button in fps games was a prick. I don't personally want to go back to doom 2. (not that it's not a good game.. but games today are superior in many ways)

 

If you really don't like home don't get it. I personally think that it can add to the online experience and not  "ruin it" like you claim. You will see.. in time you will learn. Hopefully.
The thing most people dont get about me is that I do give credit to the PS3 where credit is due. I'm going to be real and not bullshit as to where the credit is deserved. This is the gaming industry and not everything will work. If you get Tekken you better not find me. I'll destroy you. :)

All that shit is old news... Microsoft has been doing that since 2005... adding Home doesn't make it something more than it is it just adds a 3D interface to your online play.  I think that at best the mini games/arcades/billards style games will be the only draw besides pimping your room/apartment.  How do you know a service is good? When 10 million people pay for that service.  Live is a intergrated service while Home has a distinctly tacked on feel to it and it's probably optional.

 

Aparently you failed to understand what i meant. I'll cut it out as much as i possibly can.

 

Sony is creating a home entertainment center. It's no longer Just a games console.

They want to bring all of the good shit out of the bedrooms and into the living rooms without it being too hardcore. (they have done this since ps1 you know)

 

What they are doing with home is creating a online community where you can establish a visual feel for the "playstation world" in a sense.

Home enables you to (almost) be at the big events. E3, Games convention, TGS etc.

They bring a lot of features in one package where you get a visual overlook of the features instead of text. This is very wise as a lot of casual players probably will be more interested in it than, for instance, xmb (or any other less visual "menu" of any system.)

 

That is not a home entertainment center. A Home entertainment center consists of all entertainment electronics with bases and compartments in the same room. (IE: TV, DVD Player, Cabinets, Surround sound etc). All those things will be available to you in Home when you create your little barbie dream house. You're not using your words correctly.


This is why Sony had to cut the production costs by half  (Before the first three years, which is murder) to catch up in the game because they focused LESS on gaming.First off all Sony has nothing to do with why the PS1 was so great, it was Kutagari who had to force Sony to realize that they needed to get into making videogames if they want to save themselves (From dying out to their competitors) since it was a booming market with Nintendo and Sega at the helm. The head board members laughed at him. Kutagari wants to keep the gaming alive, while Sony wants to throw everything at you. Theres nothing  that Home can do to make you feel like your at E3 more than the real thing. They will only show Sony games and not the competitors. It's a one sided show and you're all for it.

 

All the outcrossed is wrong...

 

I wont even respond to it. Go read some stuff or watch some retrospectives. Good luck.

 

 

My Xbox 360 is a very nice home entertainment system that I use to play DVDs... download movies directly or streaming live video from my Vista system.  I think that Home's ability to bring you to E3 is a great potential that you'll never see happen.  You'll goto the same place to watch stuff as normal and you'll get your demos the same way.  You get excited about the potential of Home and not the reality of Sony's ability to do these things... I understand this because I've been playing SOE games since 99... Be careful with you hopes when it comes to Home or you'll be dissappointed. (also why doesn't my spell checker on firefox work on this site?)  I'm glad that you're so pumped up about this, but the reality of the situation is that if you want to start your system and go play Resistance 2 online with your buddy you're not going to boot up Home to do that... you're going to go right into the game.  I think it would have been better if maybe Home booted up right away and it was in a 3D environment, but just showed you a sort of XMB 3D interface and you could go from there into a game or pull away into the your apartment... that sounds like something maybe they could do to intergrate Home into the system.

It compares by doing what's it suppose to do better than Home can do.  It's an intergrated service not a 3D interface over a substandard service.
