OMG its FREE!!!

I dont get it... why is everyone upset at home? It is a free service that allows you to talk to other PS3 users. I mean people it is just like coming onto gamespot and talking PS3 business but ACTUALLY talking. So, for all the people coming on here calling Home dumb I hope you do not have alot of posts on here cause that is really being a hypocrite imo.

I mean can you all just think about last Gen????

Ok now think about how that online was? Now think about the possibilities Home is giving us. I mean I swear some people are just whinners.

I say Thank You Sony for trying something new in the CONSOLE GAMING community. I am also looking forward to all your First party games coming out and third party games like: uncharted 2,GOW3, SF4,Tekken, KZ2, etc...

Lastly for all the people that say it is like second life I will have to disagree there too. In second life that is exactly what it is aiming to be... a second life that a person can live out the life they want to have or be comfortable talking to people in the virtual world that they can not talk to in the real world.

Home does not have the purpose of doing that. Home SEEMS to be a place where you and some friends in the PSN community can hang out and talk games, watch movies, share pictures, or even listen to music together. I love this idea, because even though I am a very outgoing person I like the fact that I can talk to my PSN friends from Canada and we can sit down and watch a movie together or talk about games or do what ever else I listed above.

All and all I say good job Sony.... I also say good job Microsoft. Because both of these companies are trying to change the way we interact with one another in the gaming industry and like I said before it is FREE...

i agree 100% baller man i wish all gamers were like you lol. anyways i just came back from home it looks amazing and it definitely has some potential to be successful. Home is not perfect (duh its just a beta) but its a move in the right direction. keep it up sonyreaver-x

Agree.

Here's the problem with today's society...

At one point folks were complaining (not long ago) that music/movies/games/stuff should be cheaper due to every reason known to mankind.

At another point, folks begin downloading their music/movies/games/stuff since it's free for them (although illegal) and it makes them satisfied.. sorta like "sticking it to the man" for one of those "reasons to mankind" which they didn't buy in the first place.

Moving along, folks get used to downloading and find themselves visits the stores less frequent. It's like they've come to expect a free pricetag to justify their overpriced hardware (I dunno, just an example).

Fast forward to today. Not only do the masses download instead of purchase, they complain when something given to them for free isn't up to their standards. All one has to do is take a look at the comments on download sites. They complain when a movie isn't encoded a certain way, a song isn't a certain bitrate, patches aren't included in said product, etc. Stuff for free now must blow away the typical consumer!

So.. If HOME doesn't absolutely knock the socks right out from underneath the average fanboy/gamer, their gonna blow up! Nevermind the fact it's free. Nevermind it took many manhours to complete and a service that currently isn't available anywhere else on a console. Frankly, I'm glad it was free because otherwise these forums would be too unbearable to handle.

In closing, I remember mowing lawns all summer to pay for NES games in full. I dropped $70-80 US dollars on Legend of Zelda, Mike Tyson's Punchout, Contra, Bad Dudes, Bubble Bobble, etc in the late 80's. I didn't have a problem with it either. I KNEW it cost that much and didnt' expect to get it for ANY LESS, outside of stealing which I never did.

Many will tell you that today's products are crap and overpriced, but I say the vast majority today are spoiled, snotty, have UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS, and doesn't LIVE WITHIN THEIR MEANS.

Just because something is free doesn't mean you can't have constructive criticism about it. The way I see it, Sony hyped up a product so high, but the product made available for everyone didn't exceed the hype. So just because it's free or it's in so called beta won't make it immune to criticism. It is what it is.

Basically I disagree with you on almost every point you tried to make. Thats IS your opinion. MY opinion is, people want products to be good. Guys want to be satisfied, when you purchase a new car you dont leave the lot as if you bought a stick of bubble gum. You want to leave feeling good.

As far as Home, its Sony fault for guys being peeved with it. Guys are just going off the promises that Sony has built up about their products. They sold it as an experience that WAS going to wow sony gamers. IMO....It will just be sucessful later down the line. Not now...Sony gamers are looking at what is going on with the Wii, and 360 and they want to get something that makes them feel good about owning a PS3. Sony is trying to give it to them, but they are NOT on the same schedule as gamers. They are fixated on that 10 year plan. They are not showing any sense of urgency. Why? Who knows.....its not big, I love my PS3...but as far as trying to satisfy...I dont think Sony is focused on that. Bluray, Selling Consoles....yes. They care less what you do with it after you buy it.

im pretty sure nes games didnt cost $80BostonDieNasty

The gold box Zelda cost $80 with the map included. The other were $69 at most retailers (I bought mine at either K-mart or Brendle's in NC)

I know it was because I sold a few games off for $50 to buddies at school. You either had it or you didn't, there was no in between. Keep in mind, I'm talking from launch through the first 2 years of Nintendo. Maybe they were cheaper where you live.

I think one of the biggest problems is the always overly enthusiastic crowd they are aiming at. If you really look at what Sony "promised" this is pretty darn close. But, on the other hand, there's always that crowd that expects the second (or is it third?) coming of Jesus or something. Not sure where they are getting their information, but whatever. From what I had seen and read of what Home was supposed to be, when the beta key arrived in my inbox (for reasons that are beyond me really) I found really and truly what I expected. Eg: not much. It's neat, really it is. But it's not, or so it seemed, this second universe that people were expecting where in I could be the next Mr Universe or some savior of man. It's just, really, a chat room with a convenient link into games and some decent graphics (actually, the graphics were better than what I expected, so Kudos to Sony on that one). Thing is, that is what Sony was advertising, at it's core, this whole time. Not a game, not Second Life, not Saint Peter himself gracing our living rooms. Just a more advanced way to meet other players and join into a game. On that note, they're close to delivering in full form, imo, and people need to take that for what it's worth.

Then you must evidently have either not been around too long, or bought many Sony products before Playstation came about. I owned a Betamax with many movies. I was actually all for it due to the quality.. literally years ahead of VHS. The quality of Betamax on a Sony trinitron was almost DVD-like. Sony always shoots for the sun, as opposed to moon. It's dejavu, I knew a bunch of ppl complaining about the pricetag on the typical Betamax machine. So yeah in a way, I expected a $599 launch price for PS3.

This brings up another point. Folks are in it for the HERE AND NOW. They want something now and finished and ready.. so they can swipe their credit card and be done with it. They don't want to wait until something is fully ready and work hard to pay for it. I paid cash for my 1998 Trans Am and 2004 Mustang GT at the dealership. Walked away totally satisfied. Did I find flaws in them? Yes, I did. I still feel good everyday about them.

But your right, it's my opinion and I respect yours.

After that fantastic slice of truth, which illustrates the "taking for granted" nature of our society, all you can say is I don't think nes games cost 80? Give the man some credit here for putting it like it is.

oldskooler79, word, my man......word.

Oh and btw, I'm only complementing the direction of our society aspect. I see no reason why things can't be criticized even if they're free. s*** could very well be s***, after all.

Bland, boring, sparse, took multiple years and many delays, is inferior to other services that are similar, oh but don't worry since it's free that gives it a right to be all of these things. POINT NOT MADE.Duckman5

Seriously. The gaming community is one of the biggest bunch of whiners in the whole world. I know most of us paid a small fortune for our gaming gear. But when you realise Sony is losing money on every PS3 sold, you may think that they do care, even if it's only a wee bit, about their customers.

S*** if you don't like what you bought, it's your freaking problem, nobody put a gun to your head and said "Buy that PS3 now." It was your choice to buy a console. It's your responsibility as a consumer to read and learn about what you're buying.

As of now, I'm totally satisfied with Sony and my PS3. I thought about this purchase for a long time, which I didn't do with my Wii, so I knew what I was getting.

That is a terrible example. If you buy a car? Yea you said it, BUY! Did you buy Home? NO!!! If someone gave you a free car, would you be mad? No matter how bad or good it was? No you wouldn't. Simple. Your argument can't be compared, SORRY. Diddies

LOL I tried to ignore that part. It was a tad overblown eh?

You said it, man you said it, here SONY is trying to work their arse's off to giveyou the consumer a product forfreeand you are complaining. It's like making a gift for your girlfriend and she looks at it and tells you I don't want it, it's not cool enough, I know I would be heart broken.

Look at Nintendo, has not given their Wii members jack squat, and their product sells like hotcakes. I really don't undeerstand this greedy world of today, I really don't get it.

It is good to see the most of you see Home for what it is... the problem came when these people started going off of the hype... Sony delivered on what they promised... And they still have alot more to come...

It is good to see that most of the people responding in this forum are not unrealistic spoiled gamers...

And yes Home is not perfect it does constitute some criticism... But alot of it that it is getting is unfair imo...

Now if people were talking how it lags... or how the mic support sucks or something I could understand.... but people are complaining cause they think the whole concept is lame...

I am like what... so dont use it. It is not like they are making you use the LAME service... once again it is FREE.

Oh yea and LMAO to the dude that compared Getting Home for FREE and not liking it to Buying a Car and not liking it....

LMAO...:lol:

Home is a waste of everyone's time, including Sony's. If they put HALF the effort they're putting into Home into third party relations, maybe PS3 owners would have more to brag about than this.istuffedsunny

I think the part that most people are upset at isn't the fact that it's free---people appreciate that part, it's just the "OVERHYPE" it received and the expectations SONY itself placed upon HOME is what causes people to feel like they've been given another faulty product. And who ever said you can't complain about free stuff? Ever received a birthday gift/christmas gift you didn't like? Didn't think so....feryl06

And Like I said before I never said complaining about it is bad... my thing is the thing people are complaining about is the own hype of things people had in their head that Sony never said they will have... especially in a Beta

But I mean I feel you all that said it took a long time...

Oh yea dude that said would I complain about a gift on my birthday... yea I would but if they gave me the item I wanted for so long and it was my own hype that dissapointed me about the gift... then I would not be mad at the person who gave it to me.... I would be upset at myself for not actually understanding the item I wanted and what it had to offer me...

I think its lame because Sony and players hyped it like it was the next huge game. Its a social tool, nothing more and nothing less.hillelslovak

I mean, how stupid can the humanity get? Unless you got your PS3 for free you are PAYING for the console and everything that comes with it!

Sony must be laughing, PSN is part of the product!!! What do you retards mean free? If Sony said "buy a controller for $500, get a FREE console", OMG Sony are so nice to us!Even if MS are charging extra or makes the consumer choose what features/services he wan`t with the original product, it doesn`t mean PSN can be called free, off course not! We should demand the same standard from PSN as LIVE. Right now PSN standard is a joke, and you all accept it, because "it`s free".

Just because it is free does not mean it is good.Some diseases are free but they are not good now are they?When Xboxlive was down last year during the Christmas season Microsoft gave out a free arcade game called undertow.Lets just say more people wished they had gotten nothing rather than that crappy game.Now I understand that Home is not a game and I also understand that this is just a beta but with that being said I don't see the full version getting any better.They will add some more half assed activities for you and your little buddies to play around with.I am glad that people are getting a kick out of home but just because it is free does not mean people can't complain about it.To me Home is terrible and a waste of time,effort and space.In two years Sony could have does something with the same concept as home....but alot better.I seen no point in wondering around a virtual mall spending 4.50 on a house in the virtual mountains.But then again people buy some dumb things.K1LLR3175

Ok to the first bold point... umm that is a horrible comparison...LOL a disease really man? come on

And to the last bold point... it seems that you just dont like the idea of home... which is cool. Now, do you have a particular reason why it is terrible other than the fact that you do not like the concept of talking and hanging with virtual ps3 people online?

I mean, how stupid can the humanity get? Unless you got your PS3 for free you are PAYING for the console and everything that comes with it!

Imagine Buying a car wholesale and then the next year they send you a Free GPS system. Is that GPS system not Free?

Your point about if you buying a $500 controller and get a free console does not compare to me buying a PS3 gaming console and the next finding out that a service call home will be coming out for free.

The idea you are missing here is that we had no idea at launch that PS3 would have this so called Home service... people were not basing thier decision to get a Ps3 for home... so once again I say

For all the people that dislike Home because they do not like the idea of Home I understand that and you are entitled to your opinion, but the in itself does not mean it fails or Sont lied to us or whatever else u want to call it.

I can complain anyway.I spend 400 bucks on the PS3 and I have a right to like and dislike things that are on it.If you and other people like Home then fine all power to you.but me I don't like it.Maybe if Sony had made it alittle more...IDK freaky.Yes Freaky.Imagine home being like one big Costume party.People could dress up as anything they set their hearts to desire and go out and mingle.And of course have regular clothing items for the people who don't want to be freaky.Sony wants to keep Home as mainstream and 'Life like' as possible.That's my problem with home.It is too much like real life.Trust me man if they had let me wear a Wolf outfit I would have been all over it.So my main problem with home is this.It is boring,bland and could have been better.And the fact that sony already annouced that there will be no costumes really disappoints me.I wanted alittle more creativity to go into this.I turn on my PS3 to get out of the real life.Whether that be going to the Mall or sitting at work.K1LLR3175

I am not saying you should not complain... I was just saying what people were complaining about seemed to be unfair, but you sir have a general complaint about content that is not in home, which is imo a legitimate complaint...

Me and you are cool...;)

At another point, folks begin downloading their music/movies/games/stuff since it's free for them (although illegal) and it makes them satisfied.. sorta like "sticking it to the man" for one of those "reasons to mankind" which they didn't buy in the first place.

Moving along, folks get used to downloading and find themselves visits the stores less frequent. It's like they've come to expect a free pricetag to justify their overpriced hardware (I dunno, just an example).

Fast forward to today. Not only do the masses download instead of purchase, they complain when something given to them for free isn't up to their standards. All one has to do is take a look at the comments on download sites. They complain when a movie isn't encoded a certain way, a song isn't a certain bitrate, patches aren't included in said product, etc. Stuff for free now must blow away the typical consumer!

So.. If HOME doesn't absolutely knock the socks right out from underneath the average fanboy/gamer, their gonna blow up! Nevermind the fact it's free. Nevermind it took many manhours to complete and a service that currently isn't available anywhere else on a console. Frankly, I'm glad it was free because otherwise these forums would be too unbearable to handle.

In closing, I remember mowing lawns all summer to pay for NES games in full. I dropped $70-80 US dollars on Legend of Zelda, Mike Tyson's Punchout, Contra, Bad Dudes, Bubble Bobble, etc in the late 80's. I didn't have a problem with it either. I KNEW it cost that much and didnt' expect to get it for ANY LESS, outside of stealing which I never did.

Many will tell you that today's products are crap and overpriced, but I say the vast majority today are spoiled, snotty, have UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS, and doesn't LIVE WITHIN THEIR MEANS.
