because you get the same stuff for free on XBL too.  PS Home brought nothing to the table in terms of game play which is what you pay for on XBL.

I have yet to "bash" Home - but I fail to grasp the ideology of PS3 fanboys and how they think this is a major selling point to the PS3.

Every 5 seconds I see a new post about "HOME IS AWESOME" or "Home Should Win the Nobel Peace Prize"...

It's dumb, pointless, and hardly revolutionary.

You can make a house in XBL for free? You can meet with your friends in a virtual world and walk to a movie theater to watch a trailer or mybae a full movie in XBL? You can walk to an EA building with your buddies, sit down, listen to an EA game dev talk about some new game, then play a demo, all with your friends? Thats what Home will do.

You obviously dont understand; Home is NOT a free product.....you are required to have a PS3 to use it. This is very basic. Ps3 is $600. Thus, to "experience" home you have to pay $600. Home has very little to do with gaming and more to do with advertising and exposing an audience to said advertising while making them think that they are having fun with useless features like watching movie trailers, listening to music and dressing up your virtual barbie doll. Sure; it does have the ability to let you play select ps3 games via multiplayer......but you still have to be exposed to advertising. You pay 2 prices to access home (a feature which inherently has nothing to do with gaming): 1. the price of the system 2. Exposure to advertising which funds the program and allows developers to make their games accessible via an Xbox live type service. None of that is free. Home is not free.

I think it's because most of non cows are hypocritical about it. I myself don't really care about Home, though it may be awesome, I have played The Sims, and I am way too busy enjoying real life to be playing with a 2nd life. I am sure there's a market for people who would enjoy these things. The thing that ticks me off the most is the fact that cows would get overconfident and try to use this as something that can win the system war. I just don't think that this is so because the market that this software is aimed at is probably smaller than the market that the Wii remote aims for.

I'd rather just download and watch the movie/trailer.  More convenient.  Also, Home may be a good thing for Sony, but fanboys claim it's the reason the PS3 will (somehow) win this console war!  They act like it's something that will make other consoles obsolete...that's why it's being bashed.  It's other people's way of telling the fanboys to "STFU."

My issue with Home is more with the PS3 itself.  With Home being a display of your PS3 game achievements too where are the games that really need to be played on PS3 to feel achievement?

I have to agree. Still, its good news for a free online functionality, that might just make things a litle more interesting for PS3 users.

In that case XBL costs $400 PLUS an additional $50 a year and so what you become exposed to advertising, you do it every time you go outside, turn on a TV, and go on gamespot(unless you have paid) and if you avoid all 3 you definately have no life

It doesnt; it has nothing to do with gaming. ITs a marketing strategy; and its free because you are forced to view advertising (another thing that has nothing to with gaming). By creating a 3d myspace sony thinks they are going to increase demand for their product.....but how many people from myspace are going to stop using myspace for home? The non-gamers wont, 600 bucks is to much to pay for something they get on the internet for free (albeit with ads). I could go on and on....the point is that home doesnt improve your gaming experience as a gamer; its a silly diversion designed to expose a certain demographic to advertising and to lure in ignorant consumers.

it appears that i misunderstood, were you talking about Home or the PS3 in general, because i thought that you were talking about the ps3 in general

and if you are going to add all other expenses, then there is nothing in the world is free so having a debate over it is completely pointless

it's not like Home is $600 dollars because that is not all that you pay for, you pay for ever single feature that the ps3 has, including playing games, watching movies, listening to music, and viewing photos; the online is considered free because there is no subscription for it

Thats completely unreasonable. Im not suggesting we have to take into account every single expense needed to experience Home; just the basics. And the one basic thing you need is a PS3; are you trying to suggest that its unreasonable to take that into account when evaluating the worth of Home?

a bit, just for the fact that you get many other features besides home for the 600 dollar price tag (see my edited post)

Saying that the same is just a stupid, fanboyish thing to say. And can you walk into a game devs building, like EA, and listen to a developer talk about their game? Can you? For free? Then launch the game from Home? Can you?

You can make a house in XBL for free? You can meet with your friends in a virtual world and walk to a movie theater to watch a trailer or mybae a full movie in XBL? You can walk to an EA building with your buddies, sit down, listen to an EA game dev talk about some new game, then play a demo, all with your friends? Thats what Home will do.



Ohh, ok. So you mean gather a bunch of people, sit them down, and then blatantly advertise your crappy game?

I'll just download the demo, thanks. :P

Hmmmm yea I bet you wre someone that wanted to go to E3? And in Home they might give more then the demo, lets say when Home release, Konami gives a talk about what to expect in MGS4, then after the talk, everyone in the room can play a MGS4 demo, after done playing it, it deletes itself. Ever think about that, fanboy?

lmao exactly


in the long run, if you use xbox live, the cost of the 360 is greater than the ps3 (even though it isn't much per month, the price still adds up)

so the argument that 50 bucks a year is somehow alot of money isnt ridiculous, but my argument is? wow...you get something for your money, namely a solid and tested experience with alot of available games, and alot of users playing them. that kind of matters when you're talking online play.

[QUOTE="MaTT2011"][QUOTE="Dragonblade01"][QUOTE="MaTT2011"][QUOTE="Dragonblade01"][QUOTE="MaTT2011"]PS3 is free!? NO WAY! Where? Oh thats right, its not. $600 is too much to pay for a product that has very little to do with gaming.


very little to do with gaming? not really, sure it has Home and multiple media functionality, but it does play games, and has good ones planned for this year (including multiplats)

You obviously dont understand; Home is NOT a free product.....you are required to have a PS3 to use it. This is very basic. Ps3 is $600. Thus, to "experience" home you have to pay $600. Home has very little to do with gaming and more to do with advertising and exposing an audience to said advertising while making them think that they are having fun with useless features like watching movie trailers, listening to music and dressing up your virtual barbie doll. Sure; it does have the ability to let you play select ps3 games via multiplayer......but you still have to be exposed to advertising. You pay 2 prices to access home (a feature which inherently has nothing to do with gaming): 1. the price of the system 2. Exposure to advertising which funds the program and allows developers to make their games accessible via an Xbox live type service. None of that is free. Home is not free.


it appears that i misunderstood, were you talking about Home or the PS3 in general, because i thought that you were talking about the ps3 in general

and if you are going to add all other expenses, then there is nothing in the world is free so having a debate over it is completely pointless

Thats completely unreasonable. Im not suggesting we have to take into account every single expense needed to experience Home; just the basics. And the one basic thing you need is a PS3; are you trying to suggest that its unreasonable to take that into account when evaluating the worth of Home?

In that case throw in a tv, and the electricity needed to run them, and the network connection, and the phone line, and the house needed for the phone line(these are all necessary) and explain to me why the $600 version is needed?

I love how people say Home owns XBL how does home improve online gaming. gamer4life85

Well, it matches the overall XBL online gaming. Plus, it in 3D and is more interactive and it's free. So I guess it beats XBL, which technically means it owns XBL...

a bit, just for the fact that you get many other features besides home for the 600 dollar price tag (see my edited post)

But regardless of those features the price still has to be payed; and many of those features have nothing to do with gaming as well! So what are you paying for, really, when you plop down that $600 for a ps3? A gaming machine? Doesn't sound like it to me. And you do, in a way, pay a subscription for Home; the constant viewing of advertising. And even if we take that out what does Home do to make your gaming experience better once you payed that $600? Allow you to play online games? Yes, it does do that: but that could have been done anyways; without 3d avatars, fancied up internet forums .... all of these things are ILLUSIONS, they are there to make you think you are experiencing something that you are not. You are not that 3d avatar and having one doesnt make your onling gaming experience better; nor does it make looking at pictures, movie trailers or talking to people on forums better. Its not as though allowing one to play online games is some kind of tremendous feat, especially considering what the competition provides. All of this, Home, ultimately has nothign to do with gaming or making a better gameplay experience; so even if we grant that its "free" thats exactly what its worth: NOTHING. It's a whole lot of nothing. It has nothing to do with gameplay; i cant emphasize that enough.
