What is the story with Home?? Is it me or is HOme dead?

HOME is like a box of nasty chocolates

It's fun to go in there every now and then and annoy people.

Home is what happens when a developer (for lack of a better term) comes up with a cool idea and immediately proceeds to invest millions of dollars into it without ever asking the question "what is it good for?"

Or, for visual learners, it's the equivalent of Clone High's Knork.

Men acting and dressing up like women so others can think....you know :lol:

Seriously, it's a place for pedophiles and this is coming from a PS3 fanboy ;)

Home isn't dead, I can never play that mini gae in the Uncharted bar :(

HOME is like a fine wine, the older it gets, the better it will be. Nonstop-Madness

Yep, thats what happens sadly :(

go try 30 secs of Home,

and it'll already feel like a waste of time.

Just got my PS3 yesterday, I think it's fun to play pool with people :P.Lethalhazard

Congrats dude! What games do you have as of right now?

I tried it once. It seemed sort of like World of Warcraft, except without any of the things that make me like World of Warcraft.

Its dead. It was a horrible attempt by Sony to actually make their service better than XBL.

I like Home, the way you spelled it on the title that is.

To me its one of the most stupid functions for a console ever.. That development time and money should have went to perfecting the PS3 UI and reworking the online service and store to actually be able to compete with Xboxlive.. sSubZerOo

For the most part, I agree, but I suppose there is a chance it might actually become non-craptacular at some point. TBH, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a silly decision made back when Sony was full of themselves (well, more than they are now), and is mostly being continued because of the effort and money already invested in it.

Home isn't dead, a lot of people are still utilising it. Home is fun when you're bored and play games in Home with strangers or friends, play snookers, arcades, bowling, Red Bull Race, etc. Make friends in Home! It's a good service.

I think Sony is forced to show Home at E3 to try to hype it somehow again. It'll be interesting to watch.

[QUOTE="navyguy21"][QUOTE="Lethalhazard"] Right now I only can afford MGS4 and Uncharted :).Lethalhazard

lol two amazing games! Too many games though dude, try researching :)

Fixed. and it's not dead. It was the fanboys who "hyped" it as an "XBL killer1!" I must admit. at first (before actually trying it out during the beta) I was optimistic about it bringing a lot to the PSN, possibly even bumping it up to the level of XBL in terms of user-friendliness.

Whilst for some, it's all that and a bag of chips... For me, it was ruined the day the first wave of pay-to-use microtransactions came around. I mean really, $1.00 for a shirt? $6+ for a whole outfit? Sure, now the price of items is down to around $.50 per item, but even so, a full outfit is still 5 or so pieces, with accessories, you're talking $3+ for the whole kit and kaboodle, since they charge tax. IMO, Tax should be included in the up-front price of things.

Sure taxes aren't that outrageous, but it's a bit of a deterrant for me to buy things off the PSN.

I understand that Sony is trying to get some of what they put into the program back, but for the love of god... why does everything have to be so spendy? At least lately they've been giving away free promo shirts and such, which is ok, as it gives the people who don't really want to spend money on anything a few more options.

In all honesty, Home just isn't my thing. it got pretty boring when they took open voice chat out, and the fact that you STILL have to "wait in line" to do ANY activities sucks. Home isn't a failure, but it sure is taking a long time to get nowhere.

It's alive and kicking actually, take a look for yourself.

Home is not that bad.
Its just that i rather play games than wonder around trying to make a conversation with strangers all the time.

I had more fun with Habbo Hotel than with home and that isn't a good thing.

this must be the "lets all complain at something just becuz its free" day i keep hearing about.

its not a ghost town, people actually use this FREE service :P
