How can you honestly say anything negative about Home? (56k)

I mean first of all it's a FREE download available to all PS3 users.

It has EVERYTHING xbox live has +more, in a way more attractive, fun, and interactive way.

Text with an avatar vs. A virtual world!

I just don't understand why people don't think this is cool!

EDIT: Also look at these graphics! It rivals retail games!

Meh, I prefer for people to judge me off of what I say, not how I look (both in RL and in some virtual reality). But I agree that home is very attractive.

I wouldn't say that if it wasn't free :wink:

A bunch of your pics don't work :P and HOME definately sounds cool! BTW can u tell me how people interact? Do you have to hook up a keyboard? Voice chat?

edit: nvm all ur pics are working for me now =S

Ah. Thanks for the info, lmao. Makes me that much more satisfied in my PS3 purchase :D

text and voice chat...yet voice capable mics aren't a stantard on the ps3....hmmm

Its an xbox live rip off with an 2nd life coating...and not only that if its to be believed xbox universe or whatever it was called which was in dev by microsoft and which was basically home...and was in dev like years ago means this is a rip off of that.

Oh i have no problem with admiting that if the stars align and enough prayers and sacrafices are given up to satan then home will be better then xbox live from the start. (laughs)

But we have a track record at sony where they online functionality EVEN now is the pits, the only thing they have going for them is dedicated servers on games and even then its a crap shoot because people still report instances of lag and sony still has problems with providing enough servers for people i mean hell resistance and warhawk both had problems of waiting in line 15 minutes just to play a game and thats with only what 1-2 million users online at that time?

(if you bring up the xbox live down time then your a fool, they have 10 million users and something like 1-2 million signed up over the holiday)

But cows cant admit that its a rip off and a 2nd life coating they like to say oh its totally original and will be better from day one when its released then xbox live.

I think when cows start admiting its a rip off with a 2nd life coating then other forms of fanboys will start admitting the service will be good.

P.S: i own an ps3, wii and 360 and will download and play home....so there ya go;)

So one of my questions is how are they delivering HOME?

Is it gonna be packaged in with a firmware update (please god, beacuse this is the correct way to do it) or are all PS3 users going to have to go to the PSN store and download it?

Uh... how could you NOT say something negative about it?

I'd rather have a menu driven online service then Second Life. Avatars are just a waste of time when trying to get into a game.

Ok the whole second life comparisons are getting a little old. Do some research on Home before you compare the two. Also this is what Second Life looks like...

I'll check it out.

Eh, im still not sold, i guess it depends how they handle it. Honostly, i dont know anyone else on PSN, and im not a very social internet butterfly, so you can see how this lacks appeal for me. That and showing off my virtual room to my friends...just sounds lame. Not to mention I'll be damned before i pay for useless addons, people already complain about the cost of live! I understand the appeal, as many games are built on the same sort of interactivity,at least with games like the sims, the user genereated content can be downloaded for free, and you only pay for the games or the expansions. Id prefer that sort of system, as I dont like being nickled and dimed to death for stuff that really has no effect on any of my games.

On a side note, i really wonder how their going to deliver "shared music and movies" when obviously this creates many legal questions of protected content and piracy.

Hell freakin' no I wouldn't want to. I want to just open up a menu and click there name to go into a game. I couldn't care less about having an avatar or walking around a virtual room filled with virtual ads and virtual furniture and crap. That has absolutely nothing to do with games.

If I wanted to hang out with my friends at a mall, we'd go to a dang mall. Seeing as how I hate malls, I also hate virtual malls. It's a stupid idea and I hope to god that Sony offers an alternative to people that couldn't give have a crap about HOME.

Home will be interesting. Might bring a whole new experience to online gaming.

Also what the TC forgot to mention about home is all the developers are creating their own "rooms" or "places" in home. Like the Gran Turismo building or the Resistance room. Basically a themed room with info and videos about the game.

Another thing that would be awesome, is that during E3, they could create a E3 room where you can walk around and browse the latest games, try the newest demos and look at the screenshots, just like you were there.

There are lots of possibilities with Home.

Ok Mr. Hate you do know that Home is optional? right? and to the other dude just cuz we like home doesnt make us fanboys ok pathetic kid?CommanderTy

Well if Home is supposedly Sony's answer to XBL, then I'd love to see what the other options for the PS3 are. If I decide to pass on home, what else can I get? The current online features? Yeah... great.

:shock: I hadn't even thought about that! Now I'm even more excited. I admit I still have some doubts about how much I will actually use Home, but it certainly looks awesome and I can't help but be eager to try it out.

does home black people actually like black poeple?(low haircut not bald) Dark but not too dark.ff7isnumbaone

It looked like the character customization was extensive so I'm sure you can make your character look anyway you like.

It does sound great, but it could take a year or so after release to become well refined. These things just don't come out perfectly.

hmm i would still like the option of having both a scrolling menu and the option to use Home. . .

and i find it really easy to say negative things about it so far but i havnt seen a whole lot of it

Your opinion is not everyone else's. I don't care for it because it focuses on the social interaction of virtual characters, in virtual environments, when it could instead be focusing on providing a fast, efficient service that groups players together who want to play games. Who wants to walk their virtual character to a gaming area just to start a matchmaking service? Wouldn't you rather just want to get into a game at the press of a button? If you want to socially interact with people why don't you just use a messenging service? I suppose the idea of having your own virtual pad sounds kind of cool, but there really isn't much to do with it really, unless you expect dozens of people to "hang out" through their PS3's and stare at a TV screen, painstakingly type what they want to say, and drink virtual alcoholic beverages. It's not that its a bad thing, but there are other better ways to interact than Home.DrinkDuff

......they will already have that.....they are still gonna keep the friends list in xmb and u will get to join games with them even without home.....we will also have in-game xmb soon.

home is just a interactive virtual world that lets u meet, greet, and have fun with other people. Plus u get to customize ur house, add music to ur stereo inside ur house so other people can listen, minigames including pool, bowling, arcade games, and basket ball...Theres even MORE stuff u can do....like sony said theres no limit what can be done in home.

the only i dont like about home is that nobody will make their character look how they look in real lifeoutbreak201

Welcome to ANYTHING that is online. Heck, half of the people here on System Wars act differently then they do in real life.
