Why Sony doesn't need to charge for Home:

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=205467

It's because of advertising revenue.

Here's a question.
Who would pay for HOME if it actually costed money?Lto_thaG

People are paying for online clothing, furniture, and homes in Home, I don't think Sony needs to charge money for it, just not give the user anything for their little online Home or avatar, then they'll buy new stuff for their avatar and home.

Probably not that much, Depens on how much it is. If it is $3-5 a month (or maybe $10 every other month) I could see people paying for it.

10$ a month is a lot :P...120 dollars for a whole year.But it's just an estimate.Lto_thaG

Every other month, which would be around $60 a year. It is a price I think people would be willing to pay. Charing $5 a month would be the same as $10 every other month. For $3 a month it would be $36 a month, would would probably be the most resonable.

Because? I'm not sure why, I said I could see people paying for that much ($3-5 a month) for what Home gives. (I wouldn't) But I think that is the max people would pay.

It'll grow, they'll add a ton of content, imagine being able to watch movies through home "Streamed" just an example, Home will grow into a great service, just don't look at it like a game even tho it sort of is, it's a service first, that's in Beta, which means their fixing load times and adressing bugs, content will come...

The first time I entered Home my friend wanted to bowl so I went to the alley and it said that I couldn't because other people were bowling at the time...I haven't been back since.

Hmm maybe more people would play it if they charged, since they'd be curious about home and since they paid the month subscription they'll feel more forced to play it and then maybe become interested?? instead of just downloading, opening it, saying this sucks and never opening it every again (which is what most people seemed to have done)Brainkiller05

You got a point there m8,

if people pay for Home they will be sticking there heads into it more

making more use of its (less) features

Dreams-Visions

That was one of things that made me laugh about the whole thing...Why would you want to:

A. Look at trailers in HOME when your PS3 has a browser in it and you can watch it in fullscreen in a higher resolution?

B. Watch a movie in HOME when your PS3 is a friggin Blu-ray player and has the ability to download HD movies?

It's incredibly silly. Not to mention the knuckleheads doing the robot in front of you while you are trying to do this......

Home is epic failure.Synthetic_NinJI

An epic failure that has sold $1 million in customizations?

Yeah totally...

Just wait until Square sets up a Final Fantasy room. Japan will explode and Home will run rampant with Cloud haircuts!

5 dollars a trim of course.;)

In closing I think to many people walked into home with the mindset of a game, and forgetting it is in Beta, either that or it's just me thinking about it's potential.Eddie-Vedder

I think it has a lot of potential.

As I said before just imagine the sells they would make if a Final Fantasy area was added. If $1 million has already been spent on customizations already in game just think of the possibilties for game related items.

Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil area please!
