As much I love Kotaku, I don't believe that Sony tries there best on Home. Through out the years that I have that love/hate relationship that I have with them (customer service and otherwise) I don't know if they are trying to win the gamers over or trying to get the profits and screw their dedicated gamers.
I'm torn between the flexablity between the users content (mostly one DRM) and the flexiablity of what people's wants and needs. I'm greatful on what people want but most of the time the services that SONY offers are opposite of what we want. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that there's multiple compies that pushes the favors to the general public but I've had more love hate relationship with Sony than I've had with other companies.
Just to let other people know that I've decieded that I have chosen Sony then MS is there 5 PS3 activation instead of MS's 1 transfer of DRM every once a year.
If this doesn't make any sence then I'll appoligeze since I'm totally smashed off my ass and the only reason the spelling is correct is because of foxfire.
FYI I've been drinking Red hot 100. I've would've been drinking everclear but the liqure store ran out (and to let you know I drink that straight, no chaser).
As for undeading yourself tonight, it'll cost you. There's not a single free costume in Playstation Home. For a space almost entirely dedicated to advertising and creating brand loyalty, you'd think they would give away something to make it seem worthwhile. No, they aren't doing that.
To be fair, you can win a free Double Six t-shirt (virtual of course) when you complete the Burn Zombie Burn maze. #playstationhome
@Akibake: There's tons of free content in PSHome, most in the form of rewards for playing certain minigames. I have no clue what you're talking about. #playstationhome
Allow me to put your minds at ease about this recent press. The coverage of what Pete Edwards said at the London Games Conference was not only a misquote, it was a misreprentation of what he actually said.
Edwards was saying that monetizing Home was not as big a priority as building a great platform, with a compelling environment and a strong community. Home is still a top priority for Sony and will continue to release quality content and provide a positive experience to our users.
And yes, we will continue working on fixing bugs, login problems, and other user issues.
"Despite users spending extended time and money in Home, Sony isn't currently aiming to develop it as a marketplace."
This the quote: "It’s been a long road," he said. " We've proved there is a market out there and we’ve got a lot of people that spend a lot of time in [Home]. It’s not a priority right now but there is a business model there."
In other words, Sony is not prioritizing money for Home. But content is still coming, game spaces are still being added, etc.
Stephen, I usually hate calling out Kotaku editors, but I think the first sentence of your article (and the idea that a SCEE exec ever said Home was not a priority) is misleading if not just wrong. #playstationhome
Well, Jack seems like a swell guy, but am I the only person who thinks Kevin Butler should be handling every bit of PR regarding the PS3 and it's features, in the form of videos? #playstationhome

Too bad I'm not 18 so I CANT GO ON HOME COUGH COUGH
they'd increase their userbase by a shitton if they just went ahead and allowed 13+ on instead of 18+.
I'm 16, not exactly old, but at least I'm capable of rational thought. #playstationhome
