Am I the only one who think HOME is freaking awesome!!!?

i really think that sony is ripping off a lot of other companies.

i hate the fact that they copied the wii and 360.

i really think they should do something orginal for once

Custom avatars were around much longer than Miis, I remember making a custom character in The Elder Scrolls: Arena, which came out in 1994.

Honestly, the fact that people complain about how this is all a "rip-off" just goes to show that they truley can't complain about anything else.

Whether you like it or not, Sony looked at what the competition had, borrowed some of those ideas, and then put them into a feature never done before for a console's online-scheme, and hopefully, this should get Microsoft and Nintendo to look into improving their services, which would only benefit you haters in the long run.

this is def the right step in design for Sony!  who agree?   with all the option of XboxLive and all the customization of WiiEvilSpeaker

your not the only one... i'm trying to fix my wireless router so i can be on Home 24/7

AAAAAAAARGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

Sorry, that was just me being stampeded by the army or xbots rushing to try and attack the latest good news for Sony and the PSN. Well they found the news article, one would imagine that relatively soon their "protroll detectors" wil. sniff out this thread.
Personally I think it's great, but I'll just copy my reply to the news artivle:

To be honest I REALLY don't see the problem some people have with this.
Does it have an online community? Yes.
Does it have achievements? Yes
Does is have "minigames" (e.g pool and bowling)? Seems so.
Does it have file and picture sharing? Yes.
Does it have music and video downloads? Yes
Does it have downloadable content (e.g trailers and demos)? Yes
Does it have the ability to join in online games? Yes (per the demo)
Does it have friends lists? Yes (shown when you can allow people into your private area)

These are most of the things Live users were screaming about the PSN not having. Now all of a sudden they're screaming it's pointless and "they don't have the time". Well here's a wake-up call, neither do a lot of people. I work full time, study a uni course in the evenings (CIMA) and run a household too, will I have time to use this fully? God no. But then again last time I checked there weren't any Sony executives in my living room pointing a gun at me forcing me to use it. So WHAT if you think it's a waste of time. A lot of people won't. Personally I'd rather have a service there, for free, that I can use if I want to than not have a service at all (poor Live silver users, you don't pay, you don't play ... try PSN, it's free). Will they have microtransactions (for skins, furniture etc)? Undoubtably. However, looking around, there still isn't a Sony exec in my living room forcing me to buy anything. Hey, perhaps because *gasp*, you can CHOOSE how far into this thing you want to get. You can CHOOSE to get brand clothing and furniture. It seems that 360 owners would prefer nothing being there at all as opposed to having the choice of using it in depth or not (strange for a console marketed on choice). At least I have a CHOICE and either way i can still play my games for free, on Live you have to pay to play AND then you still get microtransactioned. Who was saying "It's the gamkes that count" again? Oh right, thos PAYING for the privelige of something that should be (and is) free pretty much everywhere else but Live.
The day a Sony exec shows up in my living room and threatens me unless I get involved in this Home thing and use the microtransactions is the day I start bashing the service. Until that day, hey, I'll be happy that there's something there IF I WANT IT OR NOT as opposed to nothing at all. Who knows, if you got 20 minutes to spare it may be fun linking up to some bloke overseas for a round of pool or bowling.

Oh and to the people who are saying how "sad" it is tha some people are prepared to pay for virtual stuff when they could be buying real stuff instead. Lets see:
1 - On live you have to PAY if you want to play online, hows that for a start?
2 - On live you get the faeces microtransactioned out of you, how is this any different to somebody choosing to spend their money on a skin or a piece of furniture on PSN home if THEY want to?
3 - http://www.marketingvox.com/archives/200...
Gee, looks like a lot of people are prepared to spend a lot of money buying virtual things in a virtual world.



I suppose it's just further proof that xbots are prepared to bash anything related to Sony just because it's related to Sony. It's like penis envy in console form. IMO if they were so confident in their console they wouldn't have to spend so much time bashing the opposition, it's clear they feel threatened otherwise they would just ignore what Sony are doing. So please, carry on with the hate. it's just showing how afraid of Sony you really are, no matter what way you try and spin it (in the same way school bullies are usually the one's with the biggest self issues).
*future watch* - in less than 3 months Live reveals plans to create a 3D online community named LiveLife, xbots fly into a frenzy at how great this idea is and slam Sony for copying MS with their Home idea. Just you wait, currently this idea sucks, as soon as MS announce it (for subscribers only) all of a sudden it'll become "Teh bestest ting evarr n much betterer tahn teh evils soneeee"

What I think would also be really cool is say you and your friends are about to go and play a game like Motorstorm. When you go to the lobby for the game your clothes change in to riding gear, Or say Warhawk your clothes they change into your clans cami's.

Sony has finally turned the tide. They always have a trick up their sleeves.thedarkomen

This quote is from the first page and we are in the fourth but i dont care. It is true. I think this is a great idea and will definatly stop some of the hate. About time, now we dont have to be smashed for having crapy online serive. Now its the top.

wii and 360 are gonna get buried when this comes out lol.

LoL its the sweetest thing ever...One thing tho i have had the ps3 since christmas but i still havemt gpt online lol

Finally!, SONY is moving in a good direction. I am still being patient to buy my PS3 and 2 things have been answered. Vibration feedback and a good kick in the rear to play games HOME. Now its up to developers to quit pushing cheap fast ports over and develop for these next GEN consoles.
