Didn't know about it until last week, don't really care too much. I'll check it out, but I doubt I'll spend much time with it.

I don't have the internets...:(

Except here at my uni place, of course. Where I have no tv.

Didn't really see the hype behind it isn't it just like a ps3 version of second life only with better graphics? Have you seen the types that frequent second life? I didn't see the hype behind little big planet either seemed just like a ps3 simplified version of garry's mod. Then again I am a home-less xbox owning vagrant (due to being too poor to afford a ps3) so I'll go back to roaming the streets with my fratboy gang.

I don't get the draw of this at all. I like the fact it's free...but what's the point? To chat? Seems silly.

I love that stereotype of 360 owners.

I thought it didn't come out until the 18th? Well I've been in the Home Closed Beta test since October and the only thing this will mean is that there will be more people online and hopefully new content to see.

Supposedly, there will be a lot more content.

Really? You kept a ps3 for second life? Go play the sims (By play I mean turn it on and have you people stand in the same room) while talking to someone next to you in txt language and you can save yourself a day. I'm not against home or anything, but all the systems have some stupid avatar system. The Miis are exciting as paint and the avatars for 360 are an even more immobile ripoff, and while I will give that the ps3 rip off is more thought out and nicer looking, it might be to little to late. Sony maybe knows that and knows it has to be free and out before 2009.

I played the home closed beta and it was absolute shite.

All it is, is a glorified version of The Sims but you don't get married and bang (imaginary) people.

Oh and their was only like 5 clothing options and to get more you have to buy them, but it costs real money.
So you can choose buy a shirt for you in real life or buy a shirt for your character in home,
absolute bollocks i think.

EDIT: i agree 100% with Rush_Thores

I knew it! I've been complaining that home will make you pay for most clothes and the furniture in your room since I first heard about it. the people on here wouldn't listen to me! I said it was a glorified habbohotel with better graphics and less peadophiles. I hope 4chan do what they did to habbohotel for it.

Thanks for starting another Home hate thread. No, really, the internet really needed another one of these, and The Escapist really needed one of its very own. You're a total prince and your opinion is completely relevant to my interests. Bravo, sir, you've totally skewered the effort of hundreds with a mere dozen words. What's next, I wonder?

Seems like more of a novelty than anything. Would be nice to have a community to call our own (PS3 users), but there will always be the same tards making their voices heard, and ruining the (somewhat limited) experience, for regular users. For example, some female avatars being stalked and bombarded with profanity and malcontent. Or so I've heard from Beta testers.

Whenever a price tag is put on something, I find that I have be getting something worthwhile to justify it. Slightly different clothing doesn't warrant real money imho.

You made me lol.

Anyways, I think you're missing the point of HOME; I see it as a place to chat, and with you're avatar let people connect with you a bit more not to make the best HOME by spending the most money. You have to remember it's a free service and nobody can really complain about that; if you want to be sad and buy your furniture and clothes, more power to you.

I think that was a little over the top. I'm actually very psyched for HOME and as I said people are missing the point of HOME. So stop trolling here and go back to your bridge.

People will always abuse something, it happens on every online service even right here on the escapist; you can't go to a thread without a seeing at least one ban, lol even i'm on probation due too the previous title of this thread.

I agree about the clothing/furniture point, but HOME is a place to chat and easily get to know new people not to make the best room or have the best avatar. It's only there because some sad people will spend money on this (and most likely a lot); that revenue made + the revenue from the advertising will give SONY money for other things, so I won't complain.

I got into the beta not too long ago and i have to say it looks nice but, there really isn't much to it. It's like a much nicer AIM program.
