           I love hearing the cows hype everything free on PSN. PSN has so many issues now, sony should be paying us to play it so they can work out the kinks.There is no way HOME will be completely free. Sony will make money somehow. They will make you pay for add-ons or certain things in your world. They will get money from the fanboys and cows somehow. If it was free it would end up as bad as PSN's sloppy gameplay(other than resistance). Even motorstorms online play has been slammed on these very forums, by cows nonetheless! Good luck getting any real enjoyment out of home without putting a dime into it. Sony doesn't work that way.

Is the colossal amount of advertising that they are pumping through the interface not ringing any alarm bells for you?

First of all, what are these flaws in the PSN? Second, Second Life, which isnt made by a multi billion dollar company, is free. Home will be free to play, to get more stuff will be money, but to play it will be free. XBL could be free, easily. MS is just cheap.

Since lems think that choice is so important, this should be right up their ally. Since you can choose to use it.
The basic use of it won't cost any more then XBL silver and you get alot more. You can choose to pay for the full features and even then you can choose what features to buy and how mutch of it you buy.
Its not like the all or nothing XBL way. So i guess this cancels out the Lems argument against the PS3 that you can't choose not to have BD, since you can't choose not to have som of the features on XBL.

Yep, it cost you TIME to enjoy it.

From a philosophy point of view, nothing is free my friend :D

But from my point of view, I don't have to pay to use it, I don't have to use it if I don't want to...Now that's free.

Home is absolutely free. The things you use to decorate your character and apartment might cost you money but the basic stuff is free. Like Second Life.

What happened to the "It's always optional" lemming arguement?
And what happened to the cow arguement "To get the best experience the PS3 has everything already, no options?"

Not all lemmings/cows support these.

Yeah you will have to buy stupid things like a new pair of shades or furniture for your 'home' it you even want to really call it your 'home'. The only reason you ps3 lovers are all home lovers is because you think its going to be as good as live.

Home is Free. Yet you have to deal with a lot of adds, which I guess is ok for such an amazing service to be free.

Also you can keep Home very basic, but if you want to really get into it you have to buy stuff from the store. It kind of sucks but at the same time it makes sense because the service is quite amazing to be free.

Get over it man... they CONFIRMED it's free. They can't turn back now.

As for the microtransactions, well, you don't have to buy them. You'll get all the basic stuff for free.

And the ads will pay the online service instead of us

Sony loves to overpromise and underdeliver. If you people think that Sony is going to be able to handle multiple HD streams being streamed to millions of customers with voice chat and games and individual apartments completely free then you're asking for too much. Even with advertisements Sony seems to be pushing a tad much here.

Do you really think that the billboards and banners will just be reserved for upcoming PS3 games? I can see car advertisements,car commercials, etc. In other words, non-gaming advertisements.

I hate it when people wanna bash and say "psn is ****" but they have few reasons why.

Forgot about this thread, oh well, here is why psn is bad. Sloppy online play, no easy interfaces, no good servers, developers for games obviously can't use it correctly or the games would have more modes/features built in. Did I mention I love cows in this thread? Just the cows biased opinions make me cringe looking at my ps3 and realizing that sony created a heard of mindless robots that moo. Plain and simple, sony needs to give up on their crap and realize that microsoft knows what they are doing when it comes to online and sony knows how to make walkmans. They should just copy a few things and make it a good experience. You cows dropped enough crap in this thread to start up a landscaping business.

Sony is going to make money off Home yes, from two directions. 1.) Home is free to download and free to use. 2.) YOU PAY if you want extra content like more clothes with logo's or a mini palace instead of an apartment. So Sony will make money on the extra clothes content and mini palaces. But wait there is more, they will probably make money off developers and other companies that wish to advertise there product on banners flying or movies playing in backgrounds. Or a company might pay Sony to put cloths with there name on it. The user gets the cloths free if he owns the game, but pays if he doesn't. Thats how I see it, and I bet 100% behind my view on it.

Second Life is only free if you want to walk around. It costs real world money for each item you want to buy, vs a monthly/yearly fee that other MMO's and XBL cost. The poster is trying to make the point that although PSHome will not cost a cash fee in any way, Sony will find a way to get you to "pay". This will most likely be through massive amounts of advertising. In fact the press release recently was openly bragging about the ability for people to visit EA's Home and such. Why the heck would anyone want to go to EA's Home knowing full well it's going to be a giant advertisement? XBL could not be done for free. It could probably be done cheaper, but it wouldn't be nearly as high quality as it is now, if it were free.

If other people want to pay for my online service, then SWEEEEET. I'll take it, and just "walk" around the ads.
