Personally, i feel we are on the verge of a true "metaverse". I am so excited for this.LoboSolome too i remember gaming online with my pals on PC's, using an IRC room to clan chat & join various games, have a laugh online, maybe organise a clan match, or just talk absolute rubbish for a few hours Home reminds me much of this, but obviously more integrated, you can invite your mates to you house, have a few games of something simple, organise matches, talk crap, watch a movie, go play resistance ect ect I'm really looking forward to having a place to go after leaving a game for a chat & a laugh with online friends
[QUOTE="lusitanogamer"]Funny how people with other consoles besides the PS3 are the only ones that don't like this service...:lol:CellienLook bud.. I would have a PS3 if it wasn't $600, simply cannot afford it right now.. I can still talk about the console if I want. On these boards, I talked about the PSP and 360 years before I got them. I wish I could have every console, but I just can't.. To make you happy.. I don't like the matchmaking stuff on DS, I dont like that my 360 broke once (tho fixed for free), and I dont like that my PSP thumb nub moves to the left constantly. Quit being such a fanboy.. no one has played Home yet. You think it looks cool, I simply don't... we are both basing it on something we haven't played. Did you really have to call me a fanboy? It's true i like the PS3 over the other consoles, but at least i don't bash what i don't like ( your welcome to look at my posting history and see that the only places i post is this forum and my union). Last time i checked, a fanboy is someone that bashes something it doesn't like with a passion, i don't think i fit that description. Now, if you call me a Playstation fan, i'll have to agree with you. Fanboy =/= Fan... Look at what you write every single day in this forum, nothing but bad comments about the PS3... You look more of a fanboy than me coming to a forum of a console that you obviously have nothing good to say about. If you want to bash it all day there's a place for this, System Wars.

Its a freakin sims game. I don't want that, I want good games with a good online service. Not watching TV on a virtual 50 inch screen tv and decorate my house, come on! I have a real life you know, with a real tv family friends, and i can go to the real movies for crying out loud. Dogmatic923
It's worth a shot, but I agree that it seems too complicated for its own good.

 It's not a SIM game, it's not even a game. And if your "family friends" live 2000 miles from you, good luck watching real TV with them every weekend!
so are you hating on home or what ? if so i dont exactly remember being able to slay 50 foot dragons on home, but that would be nice :DCall_me_Daddy

It's free, so why are u complaining about? Don't want it, then don't get it...
You are the worst person ever, sir.
please explain to me how it's like the sims? Because you have avatars? Please. If you want to talk similarities talk second life and even then HOME is different. onemicThere are similarities between HOME and Sims. On that note the similarities are VERY basic, the sims does not come close to the interactive community of HOME, while HOME does not have all the micromanagement that the Sims has. Besides the sims is a game, HOME is a virtual community, and while I can see where the comparisons are drawn from, they are very different beasts. All that being said, I hope HOME lives up to the hype. It looks EXTREMELY interesting.

this thing is optional, you don't have to use it if you don't want to. Besides, YOU CAN'T GET MAD OVER SOMETHING THAT'S FREE!!! man when can these people get it!!

That is blindsided fanboyism.... meaning, You don't even stop to think that even some PS3 owners are posting all over the net about how they don't really care for Home.. you are just automatically assuming its non-PS3 owners when its actually a mixed bag. You're right about me not being extremely happy about all of Sony's choices.. I mean they have been doing some really odd stuff. But I am a videogame fan, and a Playstation fan... and just because I dont agree with everything Sony is doing right at this moment doesnt mean I can't post here. BTW - A fanboy is someone that only sticks with one brand of console and is closed minded about everything else. ...which sounds more like you actually. I for one have never stuck with one brand of console for the 17 years I have been a gamer just because its that brand. If I did.. I would still be playing Atari Jaguar (which I still have btw :) )
if the 360 would have this , Wii60's wouldn't say anything about it. but when it comes to sony and the PS3 , others would think its lame , its not worth the money , gamers are not looking forward to these things , they want games not feature , and talk negatives towards Home. it is pretty sad. :(bigredman3000
you hit the nail on the head there! i think home looks great, it will be a great addition ONTOP of the great game lineup that the ps3 will have by the end of the year!
I didn't like the look of this.Then I actually read about it.
I'm not really into meeting people online in a major way(I know I'm in a forum but I just dip in and out a bit)but the idea of gathering with friends in enclosed,personal space and playing abit of pool and bowling while chatting is god damn awesome.I have friends that live miles away,I see them months apart.You could watch a film with someone in real time,while talking and for the cost of the movie(once you've bought a nice Tv for your flat).
The comaprisons with Miis are rediculous.Ninty did not invent this.This is more like second life(read Tim Guests coloumn in Edge mag for details)and that means the possibilies are huge.Imagine visiting areas run by devs and having your say on their game in an environment far less sterile than the forum.Shopping with friends miles away by walking into the same music shop browsing together without the cost of a phone bill or looking at just pages of text.
I still have my reservations about execution but the idea is forward thinking and should be considered exciting.
I can't really see a negative and this is why.It seems to me that the user will have almost total control over your level of interaction.It looks like you can go straight to gaming if you want to,stay in your space with friends and see no thers users orinvite everyone into your life and show them what you are about(a la Myspace).This combines the best community features of the PC and puts them in one,hopefully seamless,place.Â

Yeah okay..... In real life you could try out for the NFL but you still play Madden. In real life you could go out steal cars, kill cops, and sell drugs, but you still play Grand Theft Auto. In real life you could spend hundreds of thousands of dollars and pimp you ride and race people up and down the streets, but you still play Need for Speed.... You get my point.

It is there to socialize with other people, and while it mostly boils down to a free interactive chat room, it is much more than that.

Dogmatic923its not a game dude, whast wrong with you, if sony is out of touch with gamers you are out of touch with technology. it is just made to meet new people to share gamign expereince with adn play games with. it is more personal then e-mail and IM so you might actually make a friend instead of an internet friend. its all about meeting new gamers to play online with. and its brilliant

You are a pretty well known troll around these parts always trying to hate on anything the ps3 has while glorifying the 360. Daring to call lusitano a fanboy is a very dull move on your part. Lol...I'm known as a troll cause I disagree with the almighty Sony from time to time. :) I have had every Playstation (PS1, PS2, and PSP).. only one I haven't owned yet is PS3.... not cause I am a fanboy, but because so far, I am not agreeing with what Sony thinks makes a good game machine. And FYI, I probably had an original PS1 before most people even knew what it was.
Since SONY went online with PS2 all they have done is been compared to Xbox Live. And everyone has complained about the quality of their online service. People said it would always be behind Live because its free and "you get what you pay for". With the release of the PS3, SONY's online was again criticized for being pretty crappy and lacking in features. Its not next-gen, you can't even multitask or have background downloading. So now they have an in depth plan to make the best, and most in depth, online experience in gaming FOR PS3 users. And now people are complaining that HOME's ideas and features are not original and that they aren't focusing on gaming at SONY anymore. NavigatorsGhostdude 1000% agreed
Personally I could give a rats ass about Home. I wish sony would have used their time and resources on something else. What a waste. I mean come on everytime I want to listen to audio though my stereo receiver I have to swith the audio output how about fixing that, how about upscalling games to 1080p like xbox 360 does and not waste my tv with 720p. How about fixing compatability with upscalling ps2 games for high def tv. I have a home I don't want a fake onemfarris2006How about playing movies in 1080p like ps3 does and not 360?! 0_0 and with in time sony will fix it and home will make games longer lasting and more fun with trophys do you even have a ps3?!
The PS3 has been a boring bust so far. With no AAA titles yet (yes resistance has been done before and better its a B plus game) all it is for me is a cheap blu ray player. I have over 80 blu rays so I cant even get rid of my PS3 unless I want to spend a grand on a Blu Ray Playermfarris2006What has this got to do with Home dude?

How is Sony out of touch with gamers oh thats right any body who owns another system is so far away when it comes to online community's know. That they feel they have to spam the PS3 boards due to a severe cause of envy.
I agree.. seems ridiculously overkill. Obviously they are trying to 1-up MS and Nintendo and it comes across looking overworked. This isn't what real gamers want, imo... you're entitled to your own opinion so don't flame.Cellien
You mean thats what YOU want. And i will flame you because you ask for it posting crap like this on the PS3 forum.
Quit talking for all gamers saying thats not what they want. Speak for yourself, am i a real gamer because i want this?
People need to quit bi***ing about stupid things!
3 words - DONT GET IT!
Its a frickin optional download. People like you need to think before speaking.
i find your mom boring last night, now i'm stuck here with your grandmaddldaveDude, you just got suspended for 5 days. I hate it when that happens. I made a similar mom joke like that before, and was suspended. But hey more props to ya for stickin' up for what you believe in.
