    PlayStation Home

    Game » consists of 1 releases. Released Dec 11, 2008

    PlayStation Home was a social games network where PSN users could play games and socialize. Home saw a refocus in Fall 2011 in North America and Europe that put more emphasis on games than social spaces.

    Is HOME still failing hard?

    I actually went on Home a couple of days ago since the launch of the shitty beta and just spent the majority of my time telling people to purchase an Xbox 360 for $199.99!. That and pretending I was giving out Killzone 2 beta keys. Other then that it's full of e-rapists.

    If people have any kind of a real life they shouldnt really care about home. I never saw what was cool or good about the concept from the beginning.

    still failing hard??


    it is still in beta, almost no developers have implemented their stuff yet, and we all know EA's Home place is going to be a big hit with all the ranked poker tables. 

    so is it still failing hard? no man, it hasn't even had the chance to fail yet, its still in beta and has the barebones features.  within a year i think many people will have changed their minds about home.

    Beta doesn't mean anything. Gmail is in beta and it's probably the best thing since sliced bread. It's just something for developers to fall back on for bugs.

    I keep forgetting that Home is actually out now. I haven't touched it since the first few weeks and I can't say I've heard of anything they've added that would make me want to go back into Home.

    I have a fat dude with pink spiky hair with a sleeveless shirt and tight pants running around acting like a pedo and troll silly teenagers while they go mad.
    Its the most fun you can have with HOME.Though its nice seeing that PULSE show and streamed videos on billboards and some areas are interesting (RE one looks incwedible).Its decent but as a gamer i dont want to come back to it.

    The problem with home is that it has no purpose. It would be cool if it was modeled after a real city or something but it isn't. It is just this weird pointless place where you can dance.

    I visit HOME about once a month or so.  I log in, redownload all the stuff, walk around to see if anything has changed, dance by the fountain, sit in the theater waiting for the latest trailer to download, check out the new clothes I won't ever buy, then I leave.  There is not much to HOME.  I hear people say it's getting better, but I don't see it.  I have hope, but I doubt it will ever be anything interesting.  What works for MMOs, as far as the social aspect, is that there is a reason for people to talk with each other, work together, and hang out.  There is no reason in HOME.   What works in social networks like Facebook and MySpace is the people can go into detail about their likes and experiences, as well as, chain off from each other to forge new relationships.  In HOME you are isolated and limited.  Communication is slow and identity is generic.  On Second Life, it's the after market that makes the virtual space entertaining.  People can be whatever they want (no matter how twisted) and build what they want.  HOME has few options, and what options it does have are strictly regulated by Sony.  I'm not really sure, considering the narrow scope of the project as it exists today, what purpose HOME is supposed to serve.

    My main problem with Home is that I don't understand the purpose of it. There's no real game to it, yet they want to sell you stuff. So they want to sell you stuff to do nothing with? Then again maybe it's like a satire on the consumerism of human life and that none of it means anything.....

    Eh. It's social networking. It's a way to meet and communicate with people. Everything else in it is just there to give you something to do with those people you meet IF you don't want to play PS3 games with them. "Sucks ass" seems like an odd thing to say about something like that. I mean these forums are just here for us to talk to each other. They don't even have 3D avatars or live people to talk to but they don't "suck ass".

    Home still has potential because they keep updating it.  If they had leaderboards and rankings for the chess and pool then I would log on more often and play it.  If I have extra money left over in my wallet then I usually spend it on home stuff.

    I played Home for about ten minutes when I got my PS3, and haven't touched it since.

    XBL = PSN

    Xbox doesn't have anything like HOME
