Haha Kraken. How bad is Home gonna be in the first week with the server problems? Something to avoid IMO, but I wont be able to...

I just want them to release a good product. I would also love to be in the Beta cos I want it now, so I think an open beta will be the best of both worlds and that has apparently been confirmed for November.

What Sony are working on is HUGE, expect delays...what do you want? Some buggy pile of code that your going to complain about after it's release or something that works? No point asking that question because either way there's going to be a whinger.

i completely understand what sony are saying and why they are delaying it. the game would be unstable if it was an open beta because its not fully fixed up, and there would be a lot of unknown major issues. if we wait longer we can see when we play it that it wont have many flaws

I'm more interested in home than XMB. I don't play online much - because i'm crap! and the idea doesn't appeal to me that much. However home sounds interesting. ______________________________ ______________________________ Oh ****! double post, *runs and hides*

Second life is awful. It's probably the most media hyped piece of crap on the net...
I'm guessing Home will be more of a social environment for launching and organizing games...

you can pay for extra furniture for your apartment and extra clothing items. But you don’t have to if you don’t want to.

Games like these seem to get people interested due to it being a break from reality and having a character that resembles you but has all the stuff you don't have. Very tempting

I dont think they will be leting any more people into the closed beta. I belive they will just go to a full open beta latter on in the year. So every one can go in.

That'll be good. Do you know if it's first in first serve? Or everyone can join?

I just want to get things straight, figure things out now ... avoid "running around like a headless chicken" when the open beta starts
