I want to know if Home improves the functionality, ease of use, content and unfied service that made XBL so good. If sony didn't add the basic online mechanics, then this project has been a waste of time.

I personally like the idea. It's a bit out there, but still looks fun. It's alot like a free version of Second Life. You can play games, customize, and socialize. It also doubles as a much more interactive lobby that works for any games. Looks great to me.

well see if you're people like me who play HabboHotel or Cokemusic... SHUT UP...... then you're gonna love home. I mean, whats there not to love about meeting new people and talking like msn when you're bored. I swear this gamespot board is gonna move over to home once it goes live and we'll have some sort of ps3 gamespot public room with ppl like rick14 as executive moderators XD

Not only is it a waste of time and energy from sony, but Warhawk isnt that great either. I know that's my opinion, but when I pick up battlefield and compare it to warhawk, warhawk really feels and plays horribly bad. Shouldnt take 10 minutes to kill someone in a firefight on the ground. The planes are ok but ground battle needs serious work.

I really cannot understand how anyone can consider a FREE community building tool to be a "waste of time" in the world of video games. Home is going to compliment and enhance the gaming experience on the PS3. It is going to be a significantly more effective and easier way to gather your friends or clan together for a game.

Well....if you don't like it you don't have to download it. I'm sort of neutral on home. I'll try it out and see what it's like. No one can really say whether it's a waste of time or not because none of us have seen or played it.

i think sony is pretty much trying to imitate "second life", trying to draw people in and keep then connected, also trying to make money with the downloadable content. i'll defenitely fiddle with it, even tho i hated second life

Home is there to improve to expand gamer's world. Just think about it. Do you want to stay home and talk about your gaming life by yourself. If you do then you must be a loner. But then again its just another add-on to the Playstation experience.

I think the Trophy system alone will make Home worth most people's time. Other stuff like being able to play minigames, play a game of pool or bowling, Developer Pavilions, etc. is just icing on the cake.

Okay, just one question. When you strip away all the second life pseudo social life stuff, do you get significantly enhanced online mechanics? I seriously don't know, someone answer this for me. Also, will it increase PSN content?

I wouldn't say its a waste of time, overall though I would like to see alot of things improve upon instead of home though.

an interactive chatroom/matchmaking system with mini-games? haha, why do some complain? everyone that thinks home will kick ass can come over to my pad sometime and watch baseketball on my 60 inch Bravia wall-mounted LCD! and i hope .gifs work for wall art! and i hope that you can go fishing! and go karts! this will probably be my only form of social life outside of my fulltime student/job...sad i know...ya'll wanna be my friends??

I think it'd be great, haha.

As it stands now, i don't have any friends on the Psn...so at least this would be an easy way to meet some people on the network.

Oh the sad sad life i lead :P

As long as it's fast going from Home > Game then it should be fine, plus it's free so whatever. I'm sure alot of people will like to E-Socialize on it, not my thing though.

junk56

I know its gonna be great, i mean a fully interactive gaming lounge with tons of other PS3 owners, this is gonna PWN, and a gamespot dedicated server or two would be perfect, i mean i know i'd pay at least 20 bucks a month for something of this caliber anywhere else.

THe_Rick_14 would probably be the top choice if there was to be a mod for it, he'd get my vote.

You know video game is a waste of time right? everything is a waste of time so don't have to be negative about wasting time. It'll be a good wasted time talking and interacting with new people.

I think Home will be the perfect compliment to PSN. Instead of sitting on these forums between games, I will be there meeting people and making the games I have more interesting.

agreed, it would also be cool if you and three other ppl could go into home and meet up and if one person has calling all cars then maybe one person can invite the other three ppl to your appartment and all be able to play as if you were all at that one persons house. it would kinda be like with the portable systems and the download play, where one person has the game and ppl near you dont, and they just download it from you.

Go read or watch some interviews man people keep complaining about going into Home. Phil Harrison said all the major aspects of Home will be available right on the XMB because Sony knows that not everyone will be into Home.

Home is a better way for us to communicate over the network. How is that a waste? Did you not see what home has to offer? You people are either whining that sony has to much (Blu-ray player) or that sony has to little (Games). The system just came out and you guys are expecting it to tower over the gaming industry. Give it sometime to grow, Will you? Home will be a cool feature on the PS3, so either you use it or you don't.

Home's a very good platform to interact with people and make new friends. And it's not like working Home slows other processes like updating the firmware or making games down
