You guys do realize that home is more about product placement and commercial exploitation of the ps3 install base, right?

Yeah. Home is epic fail if you ask me. Zero appeal to the hardcore gamer(Just screams 'novelty').

Just glad theres a ton of great titles coming up for the rest of the year so I can overlook this garbage.

Do you mean exclusives or ports? If you know of any "great" exclusives with a confirmed 08 release date please list them, I'm coming down from my mgs4 high.

Ok, don't get me wrong ... I'm really interested in trying out HOME.

But a few members' opinions got me thinking ... after trying out HOME, I don't think I'll be staying on there for hours on end. I'd get back to gaming (back to Dark Sector or working towards trophies or something)

yeh thats exactly the point of home. Its not a place to hang out for hours and hours. Its just somwhere to meed up with your friends or random people and then jump into some other multiplayer games.

Good luck trying to get them out of him. I doubt you'll get a reply back.

Astrolite says:

Yo, J-San, I'm a hardcore gamer and Home appeals to me. Sometimes you just wanna chat with some PSN buds over a game of pool instead of dominating a clan on COD 4 or BBC. You get sick of spending 16 solid hours a day (weekends) on the current FPS and just wanna chill for a little. But, yeah, it won't be taking away from my game time, just my community chat time.

Shadowblade says:

I personally have spent many an hour playing pool in the current beta. As longarmssaid though, it is definitely more of a place to catch up with mates before a game. I still can't wait till more of us can all use it, I can definitely see it being used as a meetup point before gaming!

I dont mind a couple advertising boards if they fit in with the environment they are set in, not like Ill be taking any notice of them & rushing off to buy something. If the ads mean that HOME will be free then Im ok with that.

Shadowblade says:

Well so far they have advertising boards in public spaces (probably about 10-20 per space), all are "poster" sized and are advertising the latest downloads on PSN.

There are also 3 huge video bords in Home Square and 2 smaller ones in Game Space, 3 huge ones play trailers of the latest stuff (ie. Right now they're playing E3 trailers) and smaller ones advertise PSP games.

There is no advertising in Private Spaces (unless you put ads in photo frames and stick 'em on your walls, I guess...), so no interruptions there...

Overall, despite the fact that advertising is present, it in no way deters from playing Home or stands out as too much. So if they keep it like this, it'll be fine.

Re: in house poker, I think the 1st thing getting added is pool tables, m'not sure about poker tho...

Oh, and there is no virtual golf range... sorry smashbro
