Home.....PS3

People will just use it to show off their pron collections! Lets be honest...

It's like a combination of Myspace and Second Life, and look at how popular both of those are... Because of that, I think Home will be a system seller...

R u kidding?! I cant wait to pretend BBQ vegei burgers!!!

I wonder how much cows will pay in microtransactions for all that crap...

I hope you're not a lemmng, as your system practically invented microtransactions.

Home is free, XBL isn't. I think the only fools in this thread are people that are paying even more to play the full potential of their games.

It could be really interesting if Sony develops it correctly. The 3d interface... I don't see the value of it in terms of fucntionality. The only advantage is cool-factor. If they mean it to be a boon for advertising, that's making a huge assumption that lots of people will be using the optional interface extensively.

The social networking functionality is nice... like the live blogging... that's awesome. Sharing media... I don't see a longlasting benefit.

Will the functions found in Home be accessible through the XMB? If not, then that sucks for poeple that really don't want to use it.

We'll have to see

But Myspace and Second Life aren't used to access all the other functions of your PC.

Home's useability and benefit will determine how successful it becomes.

All I know is I don't lag on PSN with my ethernet...

I cannot say the same with 90% of the games I've played on XBL

After that I could care less how many bells and whistles you attach... I'm paying for my ethernet service I don't want to pay for sub par online through a console on top of that when I can get top notch for free

Well, a lot of the uses will go unused by me but the core uses will get tons. 1. Chatting with the community. 2. Playing HOME games (Pool, Bowling) and checking out advertisement areas made by devs. 3. Meeting up with friends and jumping straight into PS3 games. That's all I really care about.Ibacai

My question is this....

How does Sony make money from Home? You would think it'd come from 2 sources:

1. Microtransations... buying things for our pad
2. Advertising

Microtransactions... I mean, will people buy that much stuff to become a significant source of revenue for Sony?

Advertising... the problem here is that Home is optional. So already, it's not guaranteed that advertisers will reach their target audience. If there's less of a guarantee, how much effort will advertisers put into their ad spaces.... assuming they want to advertise in Home at all.

So...uh.... how will Sony make up the cost in maintining this persistent 3d world?

you guys have serious problems, how the hell is home bad? Are you telling me it would be better if sony gave up on the idea? It´s friggen free, stop trying to play it down. FREE FREE FREE FREE

lol... HOme is nothing like Live... dont even compare. Home is its own service where as Live is integrated into every 360's OS...wolverine4262

Right, it's better, and it doesn't cost me a penny unless I choose to buy items from their store. Thanks again for proving my point :D.

In case you haven't noticed, the ps3 is selling (or not selling) for $500. This guy thought because of the popularity of myspace that Home would be a system seller. But everyone has a computer and myspace is free. Ps3 is not free. Get it now?

daytona_178

It looks pretty good.

But unfortunately, it'll probably get ruined by waves of annoying teenagers and racists. Like Xbox Live.

Still, it'll probably be fun.

Dude you said why don´t ppl just use the ps3 browser to go to myspace... You obviously don´t like the idea and yes being free makes it good, even if there is practically nothing to do but go to my apartement or go look at trophys it´s all free, you can´t say it´s not worth it. Ppl should praise sony for actually improving the ps3´s online service and stop talking about second life and myspace, start giving ideas or asking serious questions, stop talking about myspace...

Why dose it concern you?

It seems you are hell bent on hating something that you have alreadydetermined isn't good and wont try, and it seems you want other people to be just as ignorant as you.

I'm sorry but Home is free and looks to be better than live which costs $50...:lol: a YEAR!! Sorry every PS3 owner who has a online connection will try home. Many will love it, some might not, but guess what? It's free so no harm no fowl. No matter what they can still play all of their online games without spending a dime.

You fail on so many levels. You loose.

Mileage will vary.

Me personally , I am going to go in and create my avatar and decorate my pad and spend some time in there playing some of the games , seeing the sites , and talking with people , and looking at my trophies. I think that will all be new and fun for the first week or two.

After that , I will probably be stopping by once in a while to mess around and look around. If they create some game specific lobbies I can see myself there a lot more. I could see it being a good clan hangout before games , between games , or after games.

because home is 3d... thus making it much cooler and more technologically adanced than myspace

So.... questions about trophies....

Are they viewable outside of Home? Or do I have to go a person's "apartment" to view them?

Are they retroactive to launch games, or are almost a year's worth of games just screwed?

If I decide to make a new account, will my past trophies follow me to my new account?

They already said they will have zones for diferente game dev/publishers, so you´ll be able to go back every once in a while and see new trailers play new demos and stuff like that, they even said they would have world premeirs over home so that´s going to rock, they even talked about conferences, imagine sitting your dude in a theater and watching E3 live or something, it a really cool idea for consoles.

You're putting words in my mouth.

I asked a question. Never made any claims.

"Improving" is relative. I praise Sony in that they're trying. But if they don't think this all the way through, then those improvements don't mean a thing.

So.... questions about trophies....

VoodooHak

In an interview I saw they said they were working on a system around the idea of LIVE so you´ll probably see that implemented if not right off the bat, they also did say the want to make everything integrated, so luanching games from inside home and leaving games striaght to home will be done, you last question I really don´t know, don´t know how that works on live either =|

But what if I don't want to leave a game. Let's say I'm playing Lair and chatting with someone playing Ninja Gaiden Sigma. What if I just want to pause Lair, take a look at that person's trophies real quick and get back into my game right away?

I wish I had an answer but looking at it realistcally I doubt that will be there from day one, LIVE is very well built, but it took time, the ps3 online service will take a while to get up to par, I´m pretty sure they will get their, but we shouldn´t fool ourselves thinking it´ll be perfect from day 1. We have to remember it´s a work in progress, it´s still in beta so.

What do you guys think it will end up to be......? I think that people will get bored on it very quickly........ Just not that many people will do it and it doesnt look that great.bamafan3414

It'll be like myspace, but on a smaller scale. it'll be the type of thing you check up on now and again before you play metal gear :D.

I love how frecking retarded lemmings pretend to be all the time.

Whenever a disscussion about some great feature or game on the PS3 is brought up, a stupid lemming comes up and says :o Aint worth $500-$600. as if the PS3 is only composed of that one thing.

for example

Blu-ray is awsome to watch HD movies on for PS3. lemming :o "aint worth $600 for a movie player"

HDMI... "aint woth $600 just to have HDMI"

Web Browser..."aint worth $600 just for a web browser"

Backward compatibility..."aint woth $600..."

60GB..."aint worth $600.." (even tho it's $500 now)

Keybaord and Mouse...same

OS...same

MGS4 will be a great exclusive game in the PS3 collection. Lemming :o "aint worth $600 for one game"

Little big Planet...same

Ratchet....same

FFXIII...yep that too

Heavenly Sword...uh huh

Killzone2...even this

Tekken 6....

WarHawk...

GT5...

Uncharted...

:roll: and now some moron seems to think the only thing the PS3 can do in an online myspace, which is of course what I'd be spening my $600 (:roll: $500) on a PS3 for? Is it any wonder whyother people think of this fanbase as a bunch of tools?

*edit*

if Casey wanted to put something into his myths thread he should have put in that one. But he somehow forgot to harp on the BS threads, lies and slanderous comments made by lemmings against PS3 and the whole of it's fanbase.
