[QUOTE="dreman999"]1. No one on PSN uses Head sets. If you played on PSN you'll know what I mean.
2. How can someone type with this massively awkward thing on your controller?
Its even worse due to the fact that its on the top of the control farthest away from your thumbs. And they want Home to be a social network and they give you bad tools to us it with.
Edit: Yes, I know you can use keyboard with your PS3,but it still awkward.
3. No PC integration.
The Best way they can advertise this is if you allow pc users to get and use Home. Casuals are mostly into it but they won't by a PS3 to get Sony Home. But allowing it to be on PC give Sony free advertising for their system, and allows People to become PS3 ciouius.
4. No ability to create forum in Home.
If you play mmo's you'll understand that communication is done by team speak and typing. Of course Home will be using the same rules or it would be a giant mess of a disarray of thousand of people taking at once and every voice is draw to the listeners head set.(Which will destroy their ear drums) So, the real draw would by why would we talk to one another in Home. Would we randomly run up to some and start saying we like Resistance 2 or something? It would be best it me came make a topic to talk about. Now, Home would be great if you can make a random room that you can make a topic that you brought up and draw people to talk about it like in forums.
To bad it's not in Home. The most the have is to invite friends to you Digital room, but that only invite only. No new people are brought in unless invited.
Home is an awkward start to Sony online date a base. It would be better if Little Big Planet was Home but still what there is there. It's all up to Sony on how great the service will be.

okay..number 1, idn what games ur playing, but in the ones i play thers usally mic'ed people...Maybe you dont hear the ridiculas rucus that ur used to on xbox (ill admit sometimes its fun, but most of the time its annoying..i mean look at soujaboy play)... Also how would u hear in home if theres 100 of people around you talking on a mic....your idea doesnt work (at least i dont understand it)
2. Its actually not awkard, its wooks quite beatifully actually...the xbox one it terms of feel is slightly better, but the other features like the touch is unique. Its a bit pricy, but in terms of msging its nice..Also u can just use a normal keyboard with playstation.
3. Home is a PLAYSTATION 3 EXCLUSIVE, no crap its not on pc. Can you run a 2nd life on consoles...you can (if u put linux on it yes, then you can run some 2nd lives), but other than that its not native to consoles..Its an exclusive game/feature for playstation, why does it belong of computers. (and for the argument, oh what if i want to log in on the pc using my ps3 account...well that doesnt work cuz ANYONE can make a psn account. Maybe in the future the best thing sony can to in incorperate remote play for the ps3 on the pc (liek it does to psp).
4. umm, i beleive your wrong, there are designated places were users can meet up and talk other then go to apartment via invite...Cant say im postive on this one..but im pretty sure your wrong.
.....YEs i mean i heard valid cons of home and releized that yes, there are cons LIKE WITH EVERYTHING. But your argument doesnt fit these cons and really im saying damage control, im really correcting your mistakes..Do you own a ps3, it seems to me like you dont know what your talking about. As for weather home flops or not...One: i can tell you it wont, and Two: its free, so who cares, its a nice meaty feature.
About #4 your referring to Clubs that you make witch have up to 32 people which is just a friend list and themed areas. No you don't make random rooms. Just meet up with you friends at different places. The problem in point 4 will still occur.
And Point 3, no one really want to by a $400 system to try an arbitrary add-on for an experience that they can easily get from other places. 2nd life works due to anyone can get it and let face it every one has a computer so more people can try it. Having Home on pc would allow Sony to advertise there games easily. If some one causal who has a pc could downloaded Home and see an advertisement for LBP on home and look into the game more and liked it they would diffidently want to get a ps3. Putting Home on pc =to free advertisement easily.
