Why do so many bash home and assume they know everything about it, are they afraid a free service will destroy their paid online service cause honestly it was never meant 2. It isn't home vs live since there will always be psn aswell, home is just an optional area where you can meet an play with other people and stream content from each others hardrive wheteher it be music or movies or pictures. I also hear now they are now going to create a itunes service in home where you can purchase music, also movies will also be able to purchase and many other things. Home will just be an area where you can purchase virtual stuff, music, movies and games and also be able to share content and jump into game and the ability to socialise but as you can see it is not meant to take on live and in my opinon probably never will. The fact is it's a free service where we can do all of those things which will only enhance Ps3 online service and i think that you can't say ANYTHING bad about it since it's free and optional so son't worry it was never meant to take on live so why all the hate

Why the lems hate Home? The cows are hyping it, that is how system wars work when the enemy fanboy faction is hyping something (that isn't on your system), the game sucks.

I own a 360 and Wii and I LIKE PS3 but Home seems completely useless. It's like a mash of Animal Crossing and The Sims, eith sweet customization, but lacks the atmosphere and charm of Animal Crossing and character/life development of The Sims. It's like a time waster. LittleBigPlanet looks amazing on the other hand, as does EchoChrome, as does Resistance 2, Killzone 2, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Warhawk, etc. Home just looks like a dumb idea.

If you're going to think of it that way then playing any video game is essentially a "time waster". I mean, you rarely benefit from it.

because their "rival" is getting something that actaully looks really good...and because they either cant get mommy to buy them a Ps3, or just dont have a ps3 for other reasons are trying to convince themselves that it sucks because they will never get a chance to play it

Like what most posters have said here: Jealously.

If there's a good thing for the PS3, the lems bash the hell out of it and that's why System Wars work for all fanboys.

Because we're sick of people trying to argue, in a gaming forum, about the benefits of something that doesn't seem to do a lot for gaming. What does Home do to make it easier to play games online that Live's text-based menus don't already do, without waiting for a 3D environment to load?

Totally agree. The ideas are neat but I think they I don't see how they add to gaming within a 3D environment. Now that I think about it, if you take the 3D things off, it would be XBL. Maybe that's the reason they are making it that way.

Jelousy.

They cant have it, so they pretend its not good. This way they wont be as worried about not getting it.

I think it will be great. Its not meant to be a game. I like it as I will be able to chat with friends, whilst sharing my videos, music and pics with them. It makes talking to friends who have a ps3 easier, plus it makes playing online toghether easier.

Plus you will be able to watch trailers streamed without having to download them and you can get info on the ps3 there.

It just makes the online better.

Its not a nessessity, but its great to have.

Plus its sonys wayof combating XBL. It will have all the functionalites of live, but in a 3D world, which will make it more fun. some may not like it, but I think it will be great. Can you watch movies with friends, say a HD one thats really new, whilst chatting to a friend, before setting up an online game on XBL. Its much more social and flexable. Its an upgraded XBL. But it will have disadvantages. like everything.

I'm a PS3 user and I don't see the point in it.

What Playstation live is missing is not a huge 3d chatroom.

I'm seriously wondering what the big deal is. What is it other than a 3D gamertag viewing device? Well, I guess it's a bit more than that if you count the Second-Life knockoff aspects...

Hate against Home really sucks. Noone is forcing you to use it damn. They also act as if Sony isn't adding any XMB integration to see people's profiles in the future and that you always have to go to peoples homes. Home is a great concept if you actually do some research. It's a place where you and your friends can actually just hang out. Play some pool with friends that may not be near your home, watch a video from your Home TV (you can zoom into the TV to make it full screen), play bowling or any other arcade game, or do all the other things home offers which I have no time to get into cause it has a lot not shown yet and a lot shown which I need a list cause I can't remember all the features. In the end, Home is a part of the PSN, it's not Home vs XBL, its PSN vs XBL and Home is a feature of PSN. In the end, don't hate a service that hasn't shown itself fully because it's on the enemy console. Don't say "I wanna play games not go into a virtual world." Fine, play, noonoe is forcing you to use it. If you socialize with other people like me, you can actually use HOme to keep connected to friends. And, you can also all join a game from Home. People act as if they don't want to go all the way to someones apartment in Home. There's a teleport service. All you do is open home which'll take a short amount of seconds. Teleport to the guy's apartment, and boom in 2 minutes you could have your whole party into a game.

well sony copys MS in achievements ms copys sony in home.... really can these 2 companys actualy invent anything?

Keep in mind trophies have been an idea for Home since their initial mock ups for the whole design of it. So I dont think that it was completely copied off of MS, I think them seeing the "sucess" of Achievements just showed them how much it matters if they were to impliment it into Home.

I think they hate the hype of Home. The PS3 was hyped 120fps 4D graphic 360 killing machine. They heard it all before and are not buying into it.

Well I don't have any next gen consoles atm, but I'm getting the PS3 in a month and a half...my 360 should be coming back from the shop also..but I think it is because : instead of having a little grey pop-up tell you that you accomplished something, (in home) you will have an actual trophy in a virtual house and what-not. Home may also solve the PS3's lack of being able to play with your friends online...

I dont think Home is even that big of a deal, and Cows hype it so much like its gonig to destroy Xbox Live. I hope it does well since it will force Microsoft to make Xbox Live even better since it costs money and Sony's is free. But looking a the videos of home I dont think its going to be that great.

I completely agree. It's down to personal tastes, but you have to wait what seems like forever for a 3d XBL. They should have just released a text based menu system a year ago. I really don't get why you'd want all the fuss of 3d environments, even with replays and min games. Just press menu, and start gaming. If and when microsoft do something similar, there is 0% chance i will use it over simple menus.
