Just curious as to how many "hardcore" gamers will be using Home on a frequent basis after the novelty and initial exploration of Home.
There simply isn't any point to using it. The whole Warhawk tabletop, being able to "plan" matches is very unlikely to be used. The In-Home mailing system is rather redundant, since it's more efficient to just send someone a message from the XMB. You have to launch Home, just like any other application (Game, movie etc). Unfortunately, just feels like a waste of time. Only feature I like is being able to play some pool or bowling with someone. But won't that get old fast?
It will get old after you decorate your house, then invite people over to "look" at crap.
I'm a little sad that so much money has been invested into Home, instead of perhaps some new exclusives since..
A: Third party exclusives are pretty much gone (MGS4 Aside)
B: Almost 90% of all the great games coming are multi-platform.
Home aside, not a lot makes the PS3 attractive at the moment.
