I remember when Home was first announced and Sony fans were saying it would be a selling point.

 I dont think anyone here said that. I think some have been looking forward to it.... but other than that you are probably grossly overexagerating

I read some comments about how the ps3 crowd was so much more mature, as compared to the xbl crowd of endless childish behaviour, so in that context, this video is extremely funny:

It's not general comment on the state of ps3 fanbase, but a snippet to show that every community has it's less desirable clients.

I can't log into HOME no matter what I do. It downloaded & installed just fine, but gives me an error code every time I try to log in. So my opinion is negative of it until I can actually check it out.

A little late, I know, but this is a Home thread.

But isn't second life popular? Whether you like it or not there are a lot of people who will use it just to meet others and that will not change. Casual gamers will love it and that market is big. As most things it can only be judged in a couple of years. It's like me with the NXE on my 360, personally i think it adds nothing and slows navigation down and is a waste of time but others (mainly M$ lovers) think it's the best thing since slice bread. At the end of the day it's horses for courses. Remember HOME is free and also optional so you lose nothing if you do not like it.

Man, this is like the 5th time I referenced this in three days, but this PS news post once again states things perfectly:

Second Life is successful because it's complete, has more options, and people can actually make money off of it.  Home offers none of those things.

And while it's fine that you may not like the NXE interface, you can't deny that it's just better overall.  It's cleaner and better organized and even allows you to use the old blades if you so wish.  You don't have to an M$ lover lover to appreciate that it is an improvement.  I'm not saying you have to like it, I'm just saying that it isn't hard to recognize it's an improvement.

-edit-

NOTE: I'm not compating Home to NXE here, I'm comparing NXE to the previous blades.  I have absolutely no intention of opening the Home VS. NXE can of worms.

I'm completely with you on this. It's the same thing I keep telling people, but I always get screamed at because apparently because the "PSN" is free, it can do no wrong in the eyes of fanboys.

For those of you who think free is always better, I have a free POS car that I can't seem to sell for even $100.00, so trade me your car that cost you money and you can take my free POS.... afterall, free is better, no?
