I was going to go on HOME today for the 1st time since it went public... and it told me I have too update. So I said nevermind, im not wasting my time. Is is still as useless as before, have they added anything usefull? or is it still a e-rapist haven?

That update is probably for the lounge thing they recently added. You're not missing anything, that place is completely pointless. Just a room full of chairs.
 The only fun to be had in home is doing all the glitches, but even that gets old after awhile.

People have completely stopped talking about it, they not even say bad things about it anymore, which I'd guess is a pretty good sign of disinterest.

Good, wont be updating shit...

Deletes HOME... 3GBs!

"Deletes HOME... 3GBs!"

I know I haven't tplayed it in... Well, since it released!

there are things added to it but certain people like it and others dont... most of the "e-rapist" stuff has ended..

ahh all the money Sony spent on PlayStation Home would have been better spent on exclusives to make their console less irrelevant.

Well, to be fair to Sony it doesn't look like they spent that much money on Home."

why would anyone buy the clothes anyway

"why would anyone buy the clothes anyway"

I haven't been on since I first downloaded it, so I wouldn't know. 

I left not long after I first downloaded it.  After seeing the twilight ads.

Ha ha! Sony has been promoting this damn thing since E3 07, and now look at it.

Man, I remember when everyone was playing up how Home was going to "make" the PS3.

"Ha ha! Sony has been promoting this damn thing since E3 07, and now look at it."

Home sucks ass.

yeah it still sucks its still a useless laggy, takes forever to load up, and is all around shitty theres no reason to install, and load a new applet just to play games that you could just load into all ready and in less time, and every time you get on home you have to update it seems and redownload areas.

People, remember its FREE. Its not like your loosing that much. Its an addition; some will like it and some won't. I think Home has some good elements to it (like playing simple games with other people like cards and pool) but I would like to see a version without the avatars and second life elements.

The PS3 seriously doesn't need home anyway.

Too bad you have to wait in line to play any of the games."

We're talking about HOME. Let's not make it a PS3 bashing thread.

I just think the whole thing sounds pointless.  They got carried away I guess.  Should have kept it simple like the Wii and the 360. 

"why would anyone buy the clothes anyway"

home should be 2d. and i want a crash bandicoot mascot outfit.

Home's going to be very cool in about a year, I think. It's already growing pretty fast, it's just not as feature-rich as it needs to be for anyone to consider it particularly useful. Eventually, I think most PS3 owners will put it to use, if only for game launching and forming groups.

To me Home is nothing more than a marketing tool. They are just trying to make money on microtransactions and selling ad space. Nothing more. At some point they might have had a grand plan in mind but it's obvious from the years in development that that got lost somewhere along the way. In its current form it is nowhere near the revolutionary social experience which they promised. In its current state it's an interesting novelty to look at but nothing more.

the update is to update the commercials you see.

This thread is funny.

Actually Homes completely full whenever i leap on it, the new game spaces are pretty awesome, they hold trasure hunts throughout various locations and people who find the codes and enter them in home win games and psp's and what not, people still meet up just to chat and stuff, and with more SF$ and resi 5 stuff being added within the month, Homes actully doing alright!, seeing as its never empty i would hardly call it s failure, as long as people are on those servers -in sony's eyes its mission accomplished.

Hopefully The Agency and MAG can fill this MMO whole that Home is failing to fill.

When the game intergration (sandbox battlefield planning for warhawk etc.) comes in - and the trophy rooms/trophy reward system comes into play, i think all the 'harder' gamers will hopefully embrace home too, i barely use it and am under no illusion that id rather be playing games then queueing to play bowling - however those thousands of people onm there right now doing the conga whilst hunting for pleasure and flying red bull planes enjoying themselves? good for them! -but until the add the prioper game support and trophy intergratino, Home is a novelty for me, and it seems to be ignorant fanboy bashing that sems it's necessary to keep calling it a failure - check the servers - that aint a failure.

It sucks less now than at the beginning. Hopefully one day it will not suck, but that's a couple of patches away.

Home is O.K. It's not the best because it's still the Beta. They still have to release a lot of stuff for it, like the different environments and game rooms and stuff. When all of that comes out, I'm sure it'll be better. I think it's useful for meeting new people to play games with mainly because my PSN friend list is so very small. It can be a bit, let's say, inappropriate at times, but I'm sure that'll get old quickly and turn into what Sony wants it to be.

Its w/e. I don't really care.

I think Home could be wonderful somewhere down the track but it was a mistake to a) announce it so early and b) launch it with nothing in it.

"Hey, what do you think of my new restaurant?"
"Looks nice. I think I'll have pizza."
"Well, thing about that is, we haven't got any food yet. But just you wait!"

a while back I tried the "Red Bull Race" trials... oh man those sucked worse than I anticipated.. far worse.  I haven't gone back since.  I'm not really into getting virtual head from d00ds

people are always confusing HOME with being a game, its not, its a social network.   personally i think HOME is a great concept that continues to get better with each update.  hard to complain about something that is free and optional.
