HOME will have integrated friends list.
This topic is locked from further discussion.
This gives alot of information. Someone posted it on the ps3 forum, and I really feel that everyone should read this.
There will be no file swapping, no avatars made to look like kids, advertising kept to a minimum. Peer to peer auctioning of items. If you want to just quickly launch into a game or parts of home, you can, or you can actually do the walking around thing. There will be developer and publishers invite only events held within home that you can win stuff. 15,000 initial beta testers starting in April, then more added in August with Home going full scale open in October.
Still doesn't sound like anything we haven't seen before.Shad0ki11Does the 360 have the ability to have the publisher hold a live event that you can win stuff? Thats just an example. Its like getting to go to a convention. I can see it now.. Next years gaming conventions also broadcast virtually over the ps3 with prizes and stuff being awarded for participation.

well they had pgr tournaments
I like the ideas of home, but it all comes down to the end result. Ill wait to decide if I like it until I use it.ChimTheGrim21
thats the way to do it..and if you dont like then you have your reason .. i dont like people bashin on home when they never use it or have no idea what its all about..

Wait, you would actually go to a virtual live event? :lol:
ZOMG!111 Buddy list!!!11 teh ownage!!11111.I brought up buddy list, because this is one thing lemmings kept attacking. Read the pdf file, it is sony's release to the developers. They are telling them that advertising will be kept to a minimum. Just read it, and you will see there are lots of "new" things. And PGR may have had tournements, but did they have the developers actually there, streaming interviews, doing interactive things with you? No.. and thats all possible and will be done on HOME.
Anything -actually- new?. And honestly, I doubt they'll be able to keep advertizing to a minimun, after all, its the companies the ones who are paying for the service so they will eventually get their way.

Its live, but your not there. Say you want to know something from a developer about an upcoming game, and they where going to show it in their "booth space" in Home. You would be able to go there and watch their conference. See what Im getting at. Your looking too closed minded at it. Its a way for companies to expand their service and become more friendly to consumers.

It doesn't seem to hard to set up a live feed for video and then just have something such as a chat room for questioning about a developer's upcoming game. Besides, virtual things like that could only end in problems. With a lot more people being able to go to a virtual event than one in real life, it would just be a one big pile of disaster.
I understand that you guys will have buddy lists but will it work the same way as XBL's? As long as someone doesnt want to be seen we can see if are friends are online no matter what the are doing. Playing a 1 player game, watching a movie, chilling in dashboard. Makes online sports leagues and clan matches and what not way easier. S0DA_POPINSKIWell its going to take our PSN friends list and make it universal. Right now we already can see what games our buddies are playing if they are on when we are on the xmb.

Lol.. how could it end in problems? You are quick to have negative thoughts, but give no valid points on your thoughts. And if you think its pointless to walk around, then you just have to go to the quick menu to do what you want. You DONT HAVE TO MOVE if you dont want to. Its totally optional.

Right now we already can see what games our buddies are playing if they are on when we are on the xmb. But if the game has to support online then they are only 1/2 way there. I'm not trying to be a **** there is a big differance. The Xbox had a universal friends list, but you couldnt see when people where online in most signle player games. Or if they were playing XBL games in one player mode. If it is the same with PSN, that is still not close to as good as what the 360 has. But for sure its a lot better then what it currently has.

Well let's say that everyone at these "events" aren't interested in these games and are there to just spam to their hearts content. Now if there is a banning system that would help, but if there isn't...then there is the possibility of that. Not only that, but having a lot of those people and being able to ask questions is going to be heavy on these developers at these "events." Then there will be the people who don't even care and just want to these prizes that you brought up earlier somewhere. I say just stick with interviews with press and leave the sweepstakes for other things.

I say just stick with interviews with press and leave the sweepstakes for other things. Read the pdf and any other information given out. You can block any user at any time, there are "moderators" if someone gets out of line. There are in place language filters where it will not let you swear. Im sure the the developers will have the ability to boot anyone from their rooms seeing as how they can make it invite only if they want to. They may not take questions during these events, but who knows. The prizes can be anything from virtual stuff (like the medals or whatnot here) to items for your avatar or even real items. Believe me, read the pdf, Sony has alot of this stuff answered in it.

I mean to me it's a not-so-great idea since live events just seem kind of pointless when there are easier options, but to you and others it provides an interesting way of reaching out to the community.
