I've got a closed beta code but i haven't used it :P not really interested in home, but does this mean i'll have to update the FW and after the update i will have home? without using the code? Al3x_n90

Clubhouses owners have to pay :( . At least members don't.

At least there is:

RedBull flying game. 2008 Airplane GOTY.

And a motorstorm space

Cool, I'm enjoying Home, but there is little to do on your own. When you have friends, family, and you make new friends (though Home) then the experience is awesome fun. They really seem to be innovating with integration in games, events with real world prizes, and different spaces each having cool mini-games. The thing that I like the most is rewards for trophies :D. Bout time someone got it right!

Planned features in development:
-Cross game invites
-Extended profiles
-Bigger clubs (SW club FTW :P)
-3D trophy room

They'd better increase the amount of pool tables and bowling alleys.BZSIN

This megaton announcement just blew the DQ X announcement out of the water !!!! :! !!!! This is living. Nike_Air

Do you get paid for saying such things lol?

[QUOTE="Episode_Eve"][QUOTE="thegoldenpoo"] with you all the way brother. why has sony done something so unneccessary? surely they could have put the resources into making a game insted of a second life rippoff with none of its good points. I guarentee thaty most of you ps3 owners will get tired of this in 2 mins. skrat_01

I definitely see your point about user generated content (as I agree), it always extends the life and value of products. They're taking baby steps in that direction though (design your own t-shirts for sale) so hopefully they capitalize on that front.

The great thing about Home is it's its an evolving world and Sony is really invested into the community. We bought these systems to play games. But if there are services available that extend or affect my gaming experience than I'm all for it (especially if its free). The vast majority of participants in the beta are a testament to that outlook (lol I even play with a girl on Gears who wants to get a PS3 in large part of Home). I guess you can't please every consumer, but I for one am pleased with the prospect of Home. It's not perfect, and won't be for everyone, but it's definitely not totally unnecessary.

Don't get your hopes up I was in Beta and it's nothing great at all.

There is your "pad", Plaza, Mall, Movie Theater and Bowling Ally... That's it.

So many blabbering people on there as well. But thankfully you can mute them all. There is also not enough lanes in the bowling ally, nor pool tables and arcade machines. It's a joke really. You have to wait till other people are done which can be up to a half hour. Even then you are not guaranteed a spot in the next game.

Home needs more games. Because there is nothing else to do except run around and watch game trailers. Decorating is a pain because it doesn't let you zoom out enough. Then on top of it you can only have a small number of items in 1 area.

Plus the fact that people take forever to load. All you will see in a heavy area is clear water people standing around for a long time till they load.

They also need darts and card games.

Seriously? I may have to wait to play a game? Kinda runs counter to the immediacy of being online.

Yep, once a game area is full or has a game started you have to wait till the game is over. You have people standing there some times spaming to get in.

Plus people that are in the bowling ally are usually there all the time and are pro's at the games. I seen a guy get all strikes... WTF! Yeah, I don't wanna play with people that take the games so serious. It's hard to find a fun and fair game. When you do, it's great.

Meh im gonna check it out for a couple of mins then go play Res2 or Burnout again.

ugh the d/l for this is going to take forever i can see it.JetB1ackNewYear

You have to down load it then install it... Reserves like 3.7 GB for itself. Then as you run around and go to other places it takes 25-30 MB per new area you load.

So your not done after the first down load.

You hit the nail on the head. Well said! :)

Right now, Home is extremely lame & boring. I've been in the Beta for about a month now and I've spent maybe 1.5hrs in Home. There really is no point in Home unless you just want to talk to people, which is not as cool as it sounds. All the mini-games are boring. You sometimes have to wait to play these mini-games.

But it's expected that cows will claim Home is "amazing " and "innovating" because that's the Sony talking point.

Another great post! :)

I have the same opinion of Home. It is a joke. I was actually surprised how little there is to do in Home.

It's very, very easy to see why Sony delayed Home for so long.
