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.

Bring on the flaming cattle herd.

I don't have to buy the add-on. I will be fine just logging into HOME and chatting.

[QUOTE="Nike_Air"][QUOTE="ArisShadows"]I believe Home should be paid service/ online serve/whatever, because with money it can keep it stable and make it effient. Bgrngod
It will have money coming in from advertisers and people buying content in there if they wish. That should keep it up.

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

I will go to Home on a weekly basis just to see the ads , videos , trailers , and such.. It is not much different than me coming here to Gamespot when you think about it. I can see things that I am interested in and I can communicate with other people that have similar interests. I can even customise my sig/avatar and decorate my space just like I do here.

Home is Gamespot .......... I thought it was funny that Gamespot was bashing ads , lol.

I'd pay $10 a month not to see Verizon and Burger King ads plastered over everything.dru26
I think you're in luck since Burger King is in bed with 360. Seen the burger king bumper car game?

They are totally going second life with Home, which is sort of cool. Second Life with voice chat? You will be able to build your own areas buy land and stuff, i bet it becomes a second life type thing. So yeah you will have to buy stuff

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.Elementguy13
We don't start threads about Live....there's been about 1billion lem created threads about home since GDC.

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.coolguy1111


You get what you pay for.....You could get free internet using a product littered with ads and other online pests or you could cough up the money and buy a service that is worry free and provides great service. But to each his own...Some online gamers want to log on and immediately and play with their buddies in a unified, stable system while others tidbit around just hoping there is game in session to play.

Bottom line, if you are a hardcore online gamer XBL is for you, if you just dabble in the realm of online gaming PSN may be more of a interest for you......

Game On....

Why is it that lemmings simply can not grasp the FACT that online gaming was pretty much always free until XBL came around.  Then suddenly the lemmings had to rewrite history to support their view that it is GOOD to pay money to play FPS on someone else's machine.

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

I will give you reasons it sucks. How about lack of online gaming. Developers that are left to run their own servers and develope their of coding could well not bother. Whereas Microsoft gives the developers the servers and the code.........thats what the $50 a year is used for........a unified system so that developers aren't left holding the bag and expenses for online gaming.  We are already seeing this with no online for certain games like VF5, VT3, etc.

Also, without a unified system, I just do not see how PSN will EVER offer online friend chatting over multiple games. I also do not see how a friend invitation system will work. There happy, I pointed out the suck........

now that we know that Home isn't a persistent huge world (only 64 ppl in each instance) the server power required is much smaller than for an mmorpg. it's more like a mall than a world.

agreed.

sony has even stated recently their business model is built on ecommerce and advertising for HOME.

Translated, that means cows are gonna get milked in never before heard of ways, while staring at the ten thousandth advertisement for Adidas while fending off invites to other people's HOMEs to listen to them brag about themselves...

sounds like oooooodles of fun...:roll:

why can't hermits grasp the fact online gaming for consoles is different than pc gaming online...

and never before has their been any online gaming service for consoles that is a comprehensive, secure, and fun as xbox live....

for a secured network?  yes, i'll pay....  i've seen the result of pc gaming and the cheating and modding is horrendous...

Very good discussion in this one. I'm not a lemming by the way. I would like to believe I will love my PS3,Wii, Xbox 360 all the same when sony gets some good content out and quits hyping lies. Calling me a lemming just because my thread disagrees with you is a typical cow idiology though so I understand.
