its true. i showed some of my mates at school the video for it (i put it on the psp) and they really did go wild for it. "wow i really want a ps3 now, that looks awesome" and "cool. im definately getting my brother to buy one".

i think its safe to say that makes Home a system seller.

If it is, then that shouldn't be a reason to buy a PS3. You should buy it to play games..

Then your friends are lacking the pink matter my friend.

Home is pretty cool and all, but there's only one thing that people should buy a console for: Games.

Buying a system for a really snazzy OS is just... Dumb...

It is a nice feature, but the PS3 needs more games.

BTW this "Hecker" guy (in your sig)...does he speak in third person?

Enjoy Home on-line with the rest of the school aged children.  I think that is why Jeff wrote what he did in the controversial article.  I don't know anyone in my demo that actually cares about it.

I'm not saying that HOME won't be a system seller, but OFFICIAL does not equal opinion. I mean seriously, people on this board need to look up the definitions of "opinion" and "official". That would be like me having a friend who loves that sound of jets taking off and me saying "It's OFFICIAL - My friend loves the sound of my 360's drive because it sounds like a jet, so he's geting a 360. The noise of the 360 is a system seller"

Home will not sell PS3's until it gets some great exclusive games. Home is nothing more than a glorified online navigation menu that hopefully will encourage community. On the surface it is really cool but remember it's not a game. When people fire up their PS3, they're going to spend a short time in Home while they get an online match goign or just go straight into one of their other games. I really wish Sony had some more game announcements to make at GDC instead.

I was talking about the topic creator's overblown use of the term "official" for describing Home as a system-seller because of the reaction from a few friends at school.

"I'm getting my brother to buy one"  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actual transcript of conversation:

"Yo, bro, I just saw this awesome video of PS Home on my friend's PSP.  Its teh bomb - you gotta get a PS3!"

"First off, why are you bothering me here at work?  You know my manager doesn't like it when you come down to 7-11 and bother me while I'm working.  Oh, and get your bike away from the automatic doors, dummas!"

"Oh yeah, I forgot - buh, buh, teh PS Home looks like teh bomb!  You gotta get a PS3!"

"OK, what is PS Home?  Don't those PS3's cost something like $600?  That's like a whole month's pay for me, so this Home had better be worth it."

"OK, well, PS Home is this online service where you create a dude, dress him up in clothes and stuff, and buy furniture and hang picutres on teh wall of your apartment and then you get to dance with other folks online and talk to them.  Pretty cool, huh?  So, we gonna go down to Best Buy after your shift?"

(long pause)

Im sorry but thats a retarded reason to buy a PS3, yes it may be cool but the entire thing is pointless if you dont have games you like.  Games should always sell a system, not a disc format or what other kind of fuctions the system has.

Anyway Im not saying the PS3 doesnt have any games, Im just saying that if someone buys the system for that they arnt even a gamer, they are just one of those guy's thats on myspace because thats essentially what Home is with 3d enviroments.

More fanboy blindness in misunderstanding terms and phrases...
Hey TC do you know what a System Seller is??

A system seller is not a feature that adds to your reasons for buying something which is what this is.
A system seller is a feature or game that is a must have, it's so important that people will buy the console just because of it.

I bought the 360 for many reasons, one of which was Halo 3. And while many reasons went into me buying it not one or two Halo 3 or MGS4 are System Seller kind of games. Well MGS used to be we'll see how it does in the PS3. ( I love MGS btw)

I love it when people use this term so wrong. Like all the people who said Motorstorm was a system seller and put it on their list of system selling games lol

1. it's not out and hasn't sold a single ps3. 2. it'll be ignored after the first week by the hardcore gamers (they'll play games rather than decorate an apartment) 3. most of the ps3 owner are going to be hardcore since it's a 600 buck console. 4. casuals will not buy a 600 buck console for Second Life which they can get for free on a pc.

[QUOTE="jdknight21"]Enjoy Home on-line with the rest of the school aged children.  I think that is why Jeff wrote what he did in the controversial article.  I don't know anyone in my demo that actually cares about it.amcallister902
well id rather be talking to fellow teenagers than some 43 year old...

  Yeah, because the same 43 year olds that scour myspace won't come looking for your fruit cocktail on Home.  I'll take the age demo that won't go from PS Home to an on-line game and ruin it with poor smack talk, singing, etc...
