@Leeallens I'm just as confused as you are, but I'm not complaining cause it'll be free. Only one of my friends has a ps3, the others have 360's, so I'm not terribly excited for home, but I want to know what it is.

Hopefully home will come out before people forget what it is. I know I am starting to wonder, what was it about Home I was intereted in. That is never a good thing. I's been about a year since it was original introduced (over a year in fact) Throw us a bone sony.

This actually doesn't surprise me. Sony's redoing the store, their will be no new content for 2 weeks, and they said they would make it worth it after the 2 weeks. If you don't get it, they probably want the new store to be released with HOME at the top of it.

I'm just waiting patiently for home. Im sure itll be fantastic- even if its boring itll still provide a great online social network, how could it not? im also sure itll come soon, as the warhawk 1.3 patch installed the home integration, probably for the current home beta users.

BornToFlail — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 11:52:34 MDT

Free interactive update? Hmmm yes let us find a way to complain about this.
Impressed or not who cares? It is free and anyone with a PS3 can play around with it if they WANT to. If not then don't.
The opinions being expressed by people sound as if they are being sold Home. This leads me to assume all of those people must not own a PS3 anyway as they would have to buy one in order to play the free content. So why are the non-owners whining about it? Go mess around on Live if that is your cup of tea. Home is being forced on nobody.

We've been waiting for HOME for months! MONTHS! They've said its comming out in this and that quarter of the year, or beta is supposed to be in these months, nothing, nothing at all. "Very soon" doesnt mean much to me at all. What im going to be looking for is the other games that get HOME integration updates and that will point to HOME being released "very soon."

To all those about to finally get their first up close and personal look at Home:

WELCOME TO THE SUCK!

Seriously, don't expect too much. I've been in the beta for nearly a year and none of the usable features make me want to go back.

You know all those assholes everybody complains about in games? Now imagine 20 million assholes given a common space to annoy people in.

I think the potential of Home may some day be worth it. Just not now.

@Bergerac: I think we can all pretty much agree that people still arguing against PS3 having good games out at the moment are those who can't afford the fuckin thing.

I mean, once this year starts rolling out PS3 exclusives, it'll be slaughter. Slaughter. Of fanboy idiots.

No word on HOME from me. I don't know if it'll be good or not and whether I'd like it or not. But I sure look forward to trophies.

Can't wait to get it, would be nice together with a group of friends prior to us launching a game and then having the game launch us all together. But just Imagine this:

You and four of your friends are getting ready to play are waiting in a home lobby. You guys are waiting for your last friend to come. You guys are about to play SOCOM. Well what if you could transform into your SOCOM character and raid their apt and shoot up the place. Or Imagine being able to have shootouts in your apt.....................That'd be hot. Reguardless this system will only be seen as a plus and not a negative. Can't wait, but honestly I'd have rather not even heard that it was coming "very soon" if a date couldn't be given, then we shouldn't be hearing about it. This is another attempt of a dev trying to keep it in our minds........Hoping we don't lose interest.

Kickinstuff13 — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 08:30:31 MDT

I've said it before: There's a difference between announcing a product early to bolster hype, and announcing it because you thought it would be out soon, but you're having so many technical problems that you now have to juggle production, and negative pr issues. Personally, I feel like home is in the second category.

After jumping off the deep end, Sony proves you can fall faster than terminal velocity...

is it to increase shelf life of the magazine?

pot3ntial2suck — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 08:06:13 MDT

Too bad "very soon" can be anything from "within the week" to "within the next 3 months" with Sony. Recall that Wipeout HD was due out in "early 08" and it's APRIL. I would hope that they'd release Home this Thursday to offset the store redesign for the next two weeks. But, I think it's more likely we see Home when the store launches on the 17th. Might be quite a launch with a new store, Home, and gt prologue.

The biggest issue I have with the PS3 is the lack of a good online service. I have been excited about home since I first heard of it. I fear thought that after the long wait home will not live up to our expectations. Much like the prequal Star Wars films. I do have a friend who has been a Beta tester of Home and I do have to say that the environment looks realy nice. especially on HD but again I think Sony has a lot to live up to.

@JorgieX: that video did not impress me that much more than what home is doing. and plus home is gonna be on a console. this is for pc users, which have a million options when it comes to online community. and plus home will be intergrated with ps3 games which is already a plus.

It a virtual world social network that is using the Unreal Engine 3....here's the link.You might need a plug-in to view the high res video.

home will be out soon... warhawk 1.3 has included a home community update. didn't need to if it was going to be a while ... also the ps store is due in the next couple weeks. I wouldn't be surprised if it was at the same time. keep the faith because it will revolutionise gaming interaction and create a more sociable community!

I'm not looking forward to release home. Sony has a lot of stuff they're gonna need to put in to meet all these crazy dreams people are coming up with.

It's going to be a sad day for playstation fans when they find out "...what is this, i am tired of "it's here but we're gonna patch in what people want".

On the other hand, shop relaunch + WipeoutHD + Home sounds reasonably strong.

In all seriousness tho.

I'm excited, Home feels like regardless of how you see it, it's optional and free, so you can't pass it up.

yessss. gimmegimmegimmee!

it will sure make setting up online matches more interesting.

believe it or not, i DO think seeing a physical representation of your friend is more interesting than looking at a screen-name in a lobby.

and while you wait for 16 friends to all get online for some GTA4, how about playing some bowling together, or whatever.

what about after the game... in real life you'd just go chill somewhere.. maybe home can introduce that kind of a dynamic.

maybe it wont, but im very excited to find out.
