Me and my friends tried it out for a few hours on more than one occasion, but were rather dissatisfied.
Don't get me wrong, it has quite a bit of potential. It's just that what is currently being offered, as well as the community leave much to be desired.

It was presented so well a few years ago at E3.... Like a merging of Second Life and GTA. Where you would have an enormous open city to explore, as well as a real property somewhere in the game that you could mess around with.
Turns out it's more like Counter-Strike without the guns. You can load up some incredibly small maps from a very small collection of maps (Takes over a minute to load btw, great programming Sony), which are basically just bland advertising vehicles for Sony's friends. You can wander around, talk to a few of the 15 year old retards that populate the entire fucking thing, and then you've sampled all of what Home has to offer. Yes, Sony really did spend 4 years making something that does no more than allow you to exchange simple text conversation, and parade your avatar around pointlessly (AND IT'S STILL IN BETA). Something they managed to screw up even further by giving you only 3 different default outfits, and expecting you to pay REAL WORLD MONEY for some slightly different ones. Something I am glad, and not entirely surprised to see no one being the slightest bit interested in doing.
Home is just a cheap, boring, uninspired cash-in. Designed purely to get some ad-money rolling in.

I'll say what I always say with these HOME debates.
I personally like HOME. It's not awesome, but t gets the job done. It's meant to keep you occupied for a few minute at a time. Of course, I came in HOME without too much expectations, so I was satisfyed for what it gave me. I think everyone was expecting a completely new game within a game or something, and expecting "OMG, FKN' AWEARDSOM WIHTS ACTSHUN" crap.
Don't get me wrong, HOME could definately use some vast improvements like the stupid waiting in line thing to play a round of bowling and some new areas to walk around in. But overall it does what it's supposed to do which is comunicate with people. I havn't me too many retards as many people claim, either they're taking the coversations waaaaaayyyyy to seriously (pshaw, like you really think they think that it's a real girl?......right) or they're just unlucky.
