Forums - Sony - Sony: Eventually Home can be a 'Big Box Shifter' for the PS3.

Home is lovely, underrated but nowhere near a system seller.

Home is alright, but I don't use it much. I really don't want to. The reason why I'd want to get on is because of the mini games, but I won't bother if I have to wait in line for them. I haven't checked in a while to see if this has changed (except to try the Resistance room. That game was mildly entertaining), but if it hasn't... Why? I don't want to wait to play something in real life, so why would it be fun in a virtual world?

That aside, there's a lot of cool stuff in Home and I do love how they're constantly updating with more and more stuff. I'll wait until there's even more content on there before I start using it much again, though.



Sad to say... Home will make Sony money no matter how ya swing it. :/



^ I agree, Home will make revenue for sony. I highly doubt, however, that the revenue generated will ever cover the cost of the 4 years it's been in development.




^ Joke post?

I think so.

The prob with Home is that there's barely incentive to stay in it. Just about everything it has can be done outside of Home. Chat, watch films, play mini games (without the wait lines), etc.

PS3 still desperately lacks crossgame invites and voice chat.


It's probably been months since I've logged onto Home. I wouldn't even wanna use it as a chat, seeing the kind of people that it attracts (to be specific, the shemales....I'm sure some of us remember that one video in particular that was posted here).

The 6.5 user download honestly doesn't seem like a big deal when you consider how hyped Home was, especially considering the fact that it's free.

I'm willing to bet that a large percent of the Home critics only went there during the early days. Ironically it's still in early days yet but it's leaps and bounds ahead of what it originally was.

Yes, and a lot of people who crititicize the PS3 in general are still stuck on the fact that AT FIRST it didn't have a lot of good games (I'm talking about around the time of launch, not now).  A lot of people who criticize Windows Vista either only used it for the first few months it was out or never used it at all and only repeat what other people who only used it around launch time have said.  Seeing the pattern here?

It's the whole first impression cliche.  And for that very reason, I don't think Home is ever going to sell systems.




I go on home once in a while but the transition time between places need to be a lot faster.

The loading is too slow that I don't want to go back often.



i own a PS3 and a big fan of PS3, but Home still sucks. everything takes too long, lots of loading time. without a keyboard, it's too hard to communicate with others.
