Playstation Room, the social networking service announced in 2009 for the PSP, after going through a closed beta in Japan the development was shut down. What do you think we would have eventually ended up with if it wan't cancelld? What do you think it should have been? And most importantly, what was your reaction to it being shut down?

I think the idea from the start was for it to be similar to Playstation Home. I'm not against this, but I do think Playstation Home could be much more, and the extreme prices for shallow virtual items are extravagant. I could get into how PS Home could have been better, but for PS Room, I think I would have liked to see live and streaming video on the walls like PS Home, real-world news streams and more interactive content that ties in with real-world places and objects. I really enjoyed the E3 booth's recreation, but it really wasn't very interactive. What I like about these sorts of social platforms is that you can visit real or fictional places to see and hear things that would be otherwise impossible. If PS Room could have done that, I would have been happy. But what is the goal of this subject? PS Room has been terminated, and while we can hope that something similar will come on the Vita, I doubt commenting on what PS Room could have been will sway or influence the future social platform of the Vita. I'm sure we will see something similar in a few years, and I will be looking forward to it. Hopefully it will continue the tradition of Playstation Home and improve upon it in many ways.

Playstation Room was a portable version of Playstation Home. Hence the name "Room" that would have been part of your "Home" experience on the go.

Since it was cancelled I have no idea how it would have been.
