i'd rather be able to play all kinds of games for 50 bucks then just 1 game for free.
[QUOTE="MaTT2011"]PS3 is free!? NO WAY! Where? Oh thats right, its not. $600 is too much to pay for a product that has very little to do with gaming. very little to do with gaming? not really, sure it has Home and multiple media functionality, but it does play games, and has good ones planned for this year (including multiplats)

You can make a house in XBL for free? You can meet with your friends in a virtual world and walk to a movie theater to watch a trailer or mybae a full movie in XBL? You can walk to an EA building with your buddies, sit down, listen to an EA game dev talk about some new game, then play a demo, all with your friends? Thats what Home will do.

Sure; it does have the ability to let you play select ps3 games via multiplayer......but you still have to be exposed to advertising. You pay 2 prices to access home (a feature which inherently has nothing to do with gaming): 1. the price of the system 2. Exposure to advertising which funds the program and allows developers to make their games accessible via an Xbox live type service. None of that is free. Home is not free.

why did you contradict yourself, you said it was free, than you say that is why you pay for it not to metion he just said that a network makes games fun, and said you can get PS3 home on XBL
I think it's because most of non cows are hypocritical about it. I myself don't really care about Home, though it may be awesome, I have played The Sims, and I am way too busy enjoying real life to be playing with a 2nd life. I am sure there's a market for people who would enjoy these things. The thing that ticks me off the most is the fact that cows would get overconfident and try to use this as something that can win the system war. I just don't think that this is so because the market that this software is aimed at is probably smaller than the market that the Wii remote aims for.

Yes, its called a private chat while a watch a full screen, full movie in HD that I dled off the marketplace.
I'd rather just download and watch the movie/trailer. More convenient. Also, Home may be a good thing for Sony, but fanboys claim it's the reason the PS3 will (somehow) win this console war! They act like it's something that will make other consoles obsolete...that's why it's being bashed. It's other people's way of telling the fanboys to "STFU."
My issue with Home is more with the PS3 itself. With Home being a display of your PS3 game achievements too where are the games that really need to be played on PS3 to feel achievement?
Sorry to bust your bubble, Its not free. What I mean is, Your gonna have to pay for things to put in your apartment. You really think your gonna have a sweet apartment to start with,I don't think so. Lets wait and see what it will really cost.Â

I love how people say Home owns XBL how does home improve online gaming. gamer4life85
It doesnt; it has nothing to do with gaming. ITs a marketing strategy; and its free because you are forced to view advertising (another thing that has nothing to with gaming). By creating a 3d myspace sony thinks they are going to increase demand for their product.....but how many people from myspace are going to stop using myspace for home? The non-gamers wont, 600 bucks is to much to pay for something they get on the internet for free (albeit with ads). I could go on and on....the point is that home doesnt improve your gaming experience as a gamer; its a silly diversion designed to expose a certain demographic to advertising and to lure in ignorant consumers.

it's not like Home is $600 dollars because that is not all that you pay for, you pay for ever single feature that the ps3 has, including playing games, watching movies, listening to music, and viewing photos; the online is considered free because there is no subscription for it

I'll just download the demo, thanks. :P Hmmmm yea I bet you wre someone that wanted to go to E3? And in Home they might give more then the demo, lets say when Home release, Konami gives a talk about what to expect in MGS4, then after the talk, everyone in the room can play a MGS4 demo, after done playing it, it deletes itself. Ever think about that, fanboy?

in the long run, if you use xbox live, the cost of the 360 is greater than the ps3 (even though it isn't much per month, the price still adds up)

1 game? is that right....? wow....
so the argument that 50 bucks a year is somehow alot of money isnt ridiculous, but my argument is? wow...you get something for your money, namely a solid and tested experience with alot of available games, and alot of users playing them. that kind of matters when you're talking online play.

So what are you paying for, really, when you plop down that $600 for a ps3? A gaming machine? Doesn't sound like it to me. And you do, in a way, pay a subscription for Home; the constant viewing of advertising. And even if we take that out what does Home do to make your gaming experience better once you payed that $600? Allow you to play online games? Yes, it does do that: but that could have been done anyways; without 3d avatars, fancied up internet forums .... all of these things are ILLUSIONS, they are there to make you think you are experiencing something that you are not. You are not that 3d avatar and having one doesnt make your onling gaming experience better; nor does it make looking at pictures, movie trailers or talking to people on forums better. Its not as though allowing one to play online games is some kind of tremendous feat, especially considering what the competition provides. All of this, Home, ultimately has nothign to do with gaming or making a better gameplay experience; so even if we grant that its "free" thats exactly what its worth: NOTHING. It's a whole lot of nothing. It has nothing to do with gameplay; i cant emphasize that enough.
