    Wow. How much money is EA set to make with "Branded" clothes? I can just see the $$$ pouring into this thing from people who don't realize $1 here and $1 there add up in the long run.
    But it seems neat. I hope it has better longevity than MySpace. That got dull real quick.

It looks awesome. I was skeptical when I heard about it, but if Sony can deliver on everything they promise with it then it should be great.hellsing321

If Sony can deliver... this is Sony lol. They over promise and under deliver most of the time; people should keep that in mind. The whole PSH thing looks good on paper but it has yet to be implemented. Its good to be excited but some people need to just calm down.

this won't help to beat XBL , it's a game , a second life ripoff . how will PSH make playing Warhawk or Killzone better ? nothing . on XBL you have total freedom of multimedia , chat , Messages , etc, all this while playing games . PSH is a game , not a XBL killer .

And a total milkage experience :roll: !

    Except that online gamers are still the minority, so this still does not help Sony with the general public.

Wow, Nintendo's Kiddy Mii's and XBox Live just got owned all in just one video.

PS Home is amazing.

Bread_or_Decide

Xbox Live is still easier to play with and interact with your friends! In my Opinion. I'm really not liking the idea of an MMO conversation based Online! To much of a hassle and a headache, On live you just send an invite, and everybody is in the game you want to play! But this is cool in concept, don't really know how its gonna work out, will it be laggy with tons of people walking around? I think there trying to hard, just put up an online system similar to Live with a guide button, this is over doing it and is to complex, leaving a headache! Free is awesome though, I hope Microsoft makes LIVE FREE NOW!

Honestly... You buy a gaming console to play games, not to socialise... I mean for god sake you can do that on the internet for free unless you wanted great graphics to watch someone stand in a room and talk. :|

Wow.... I can't believe I called this a year ago. I got it down to the tee. I'm impressed. And that's saying alot coming from someone who wasn't planning on getting a PS3 anytime soon if ever. People have wanted a 3d representation of online for years, we've seen it in sci-fi and television, and although this isn't virtual reality its the next best thing. I just can't believe Sony is the one that is bringing this out, I'm honestly impressed that they decided to take this risk and ride it out. So I guess this is kinda like the first MMOO (Massively Multiplayer Online... Online)? Now all we need is a VR set and we can run around cyberspace ala Futurama..

[QUOTE="Puckhog04"]Whereas XBL is an actual online service where games are the focus it seems like Sony is trying to make an online service where Social interactions are the focus. Jandurin
Thus far, this sums up my impression the best.

XBOX Live is very social. You can always talk to your friends no matter what game they are playing. The difference is that PS Home just made it more visual. Its really just the same thing plus PS Home lets you meet up with friends and play together online as well. So its game focused.

Then again I can argue that Xbox Live is selling alot of videos and tv shows and that stuff has nothing to do with gaming. But I wouldn't do that cause that would be stupid.

[QUOTE="tag_001"]If it's implimanted right this is going to be really great. Anyone who as already played MMOrpgs knows how good it's going to be.

Finally a great, original idea from Sony! Now let's hope it doesn't end up like the AOL stuff.
3picuri3


how in the hell is this like an MMOrpg? lol - please explain.

to me it's more like an online gaming platform with social networking and a pretty graphical UI.



Have you ever played a MMORPG? Half the fun from these games are running around the towns and meeting people/scocializing. This is just like a MMORPG without a game that comes with it. A central place(one of the big towns in any MMORPG) where everyone can meet with their 3d avatars and socialise, show off their gear/acheivements(clothing, trophies in home), buy sell stuff, go to some peoples virtual homes etc...

Of course Home is bigger because theirs no actual "game" and they implimanted everything into it(downloading music, movies etc...)

Have you people seen the trailer? This is way beyond a friends list. Sony are providing a virtual world here, if you want to chill out and talk to random people, you can do so. You can take them to your virtual room which I'm sure Sony will be letting you buy plasma tv's etc. to "impress" people. They even showed how you can play multiplayer pool, bowling (Wii sports inspiration?) and other random stuff.

This is far greater than I expected, the potential here is massive.

censorship? lol. ok buddy. are you wearing your tin-foil hat too? gotta make sure big league baseball can't read your thoughts from space :)

if the mods didn't make sticky threads or delete offensive posts System Wars would quickly become a steaming pile of porn and obscenities.

on topic - PSHOME does look slick, but it also looks tacked on and desperate, and unoriginal.

Your wrong, Xbox Live is still better, its a community with 6 Million Subscribers all with gamerscore, achievements, leaderboards, unified messaging and friends list. Live is still the king, its to easy to do everything you want. It keeps track of your players, their gamercard and basically their entire xbox life! Not to mention the Guide button is still insanely better then everything for Online Gaming!

I think it's definitely a cool idea, it's basically a virtual chat room. I guess it will be good for wasting some time, but I'd rather be playing Gears and chatting with my friends than staring at a representation of my friend and talking to him. Can you visit people's "homes" when they're not online and see what their trophies are? How exactly does it work? Just seems like an interactive profile, and I don't mean to sound like a negative nancy, but I can't see myself standing around talking to people and doing nothing. Sounds like a great idea for people away from their friends IRL though, and I hate to say it, but Sony has got something here.

Nope, i dont get it. I prefer an fast interface. So you actually have to walk your avatar around to access things like dl's, freinds lists etc? Why not just click on the option? if you want to chat, whats wrong with video chat? Seems like a lame attempt steal some thunder off Microsoft, while forgetting ease of use and functionality.

Oh and that womans smug voice when she said "this puts the ps3 online leagues ahead of other consoles" made me want to puke lol.

Leagues ahead...only in hype.

I'm still trying to figure out if the PSN Home thing is Unified with a set name for all games, set friends list for all games, recent players, etc...

If any of those are no then i still don't consider it on par with XBL, despite the social "virtual home".
