At the moment... There's seriously nothing to do except for bowling which mind you, you need to wait in line 4ever! to play. Boring pool and a lot of people saying ' Hello ' and ' Where are you from? ' also im afraid that when it does release it will just be a tool to empty your wallet if you want to make your home look anywhere near decent. The most fun thing there was checkers.... I cant believe from what I've seen so far that this took SOOOOO long to develop im really disappointed by it. Is there seriously anybody here that enjoyed home or what it had to offer?

Home is not a game. It's a service to connect with the playstation community.

One word...BETA. What did you expect from it. Of coarse it's going to be lacking in options and activities. It's obvious they're trying to stablize the underlying infrastructure first before concentrating on the content. This is what a beta is for.

It's a BETA o rly?!!! the core of what Home is going to be like is clearly visible, and yes ofcourse it's going to be lacking content at the moment but still to me it seems neither fun or even handy for that matter!

This is exactly why people shouldn't hype up anything.

This is not a game, so it's kinda normal that it gets boring after a while, so when it comes out I know I'll hate the millions of thread on how "Home is a disappointment" and "All the wait for this??"

People, get smart. Home is nothing to be hyped about.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Complaining about Home is like throwing a fit at a Baskin Robbins when they don't have your favorite flavor available for a free sample.

For something that's not even out yet, and for something that will be free except for add on content, it looks like it could actually be pretty cool. Just my opinion though.

What do people expect from home - it's just a way to meet other gamers and for Sony to prove the PS3 online experience is better than the 360

I could not agree more. Its like people whining about Life with PS. Everyone knows its an app, not a game, so why are they whining about it not being super awesome. Its a service, nothing more. And people still have the nerve to ***** about a free service!!

this is why the ebta didnt go out to everyone, cuz they'd be complaining about it not having anythin to do, instead of helpin lookin for bugs and stuff. you guys complain about free stuff? and like others said its NOT A GAME and its a BETA, wat would u expect? when it really launches and has all the features it said it would, i have a feeling some of u would take their words back lol......anyways, wait till its fully released, then judge it. because HOME is to connect with playstation community, like amob said

I for one am excited for Home. Simply because non of my friends own a PS3 so it would be nice to meet some nice gamers and get some games going in a really easy way. R2 through Home, anyone?:D

One word...BETA. What did you expect from it. Of coarse it's going to be lacking in options and activities. It's obvious they're trying to stablize the underlying infrastructure first before concentrating on the content. This is what a beta is for.caseystryker

This is no longer a typical BETA. They are now at Version 1.00. That is the version they are releasing to the public. However, someone else pointed out exactly what I wanted to say: This is a service and NOT a game. People would do better to understand that this is simply a place to socalize with others. Home will help you socialize by providing small things for you to talk over. What they are releasing to the public is an Open Beta, which will expand for years to come.

There are some creative ways to utilize Home if you look at it for what it really is. When they get the audio sharing part up and running, my band is looking to create a HOME CD Release party where people can hangout, listen to our entire album and request what songs they would like from us for free. (Not a plug, just telling you what I have in mind). I also look forward to creating an avatar that looks as close to the real me as possible, and furnishing my "Home" should be fun. (I know, I'm a geek) It's also really hard to find people to play chess in real life, so I look forward to that. Plus, just cause you're on HOME, doesn't mean you have to be in front of your screen. My band can now have it's conference calls through HOME. I can invite everyone to my house, talk via bluetooth, and I can continue cleaning my house while we discuss upcoming projects or cool games coming out.

This is all what I could think of on the fly. Again, it's not a game, it's a service. Use it as a tool, and you'll see there are many more things you can do with it. But, try to play it instead of Falout 3 or bioshock and you are bound to be disappointed ;)

Right now, I'm far more concerned with the apocalyptic slowdown of the rest of the PSNetwork. Since the Home beta started, it seems to be taking a very long time indeed to get any updates down for anything, including 2.53.

That sentence just owned those who are complaining about how Home is boring/lame.

I honestly like Home. I always visit it everyday and I've been there twice for more than an hour. And I love the graphics! :D

i wish sony would do a cross media bar update in the mean time. Microsofts new cross media/avatar update is pretty sweet. We will see what happens with the finished product as far as home goes, but I hear ya it looks pretty lame right now.

Oh a i also think Home it pritty kool obviously its not finished yet, which is why they bring out betas to get the consumors (gamers) to tell them what they need to add or improve and/or even remove from the finished product.

i also read something kool earlier about trophies are going to be used a currency to buy things in home so this all sounds good to me :P

do people create threads about other threads saying how disappointing those other threads are? of course not, it's not worth the time. well, this thread is just a silly. Home is virtual place where gamers could chat and interact (which includes playing some mini games) with each other, kind of like a hybrid between forums and myspace for gamers , nothing more. I don't know where this hype that home is a game, or something of that nature, came from, but its the primary reason why so many people misclassified what home really is. Listen, i'm not interested in home one bit, but that lack of interest is identical to my lack of interest in myspace.

Uhmmm... I once created a thread that asked people to post what they thought were the dumbest threads on Gamespot. Everyone said my thread was the dumbest :cry:

LOL!!! The funny part is, I'm not kidding. But hey, in that thread, I got to hear about some dude who put a slice of bologna in his PS3 and was pissed off that it broke his PS3 :lol:
