The only thing that can fail is if nobody downloads the downloadable content that will be made available for home, it would make it financially a waste of money.
people may get lazy and not get all the new stuff, or some people may not be able to use it do to no internet and also it could have bugs that we do not know yet, many things could happen.
There's hype for Home? It's going to be a bust...no doubt in my mind.
There is nothing about home that has me stoked for it to come out. There isn't even anything about Home that I want, and it annoys me that this is where Sony spends it's time and resources.
After so many delays, it will need to be the end all be all to impress me right about now. It's harsh I know, but I'm just hardpressed to find the appeal...Hopefully the full release can change my mind.
tell me how HOME can fail, whoever posted this probably thinks its a game, it not. So tell me once again how can it fail.POPEYE1716
Oh, it can fail. Micro-transactions have a nasty way of making people not want to buy your product since to get the best version of it they will have to pay more and more and more.

Home can still make money by plastering ad posters all over the place and maybe even in your Home apartment and that can be so annoying.

I don't think it was succeed OR fail, I just don't think it will be as successful as Sony had hoped. Honestly it doesn't even seem hyped anymore. There have been so many negative things stated by beta testers and it's been postponed so many times, many people, including myself, don't care if it ever releases. With Sony's recent difficulties lately, IMO, this entire Home project is a huge waste of resources.
Nobody said it was required. I said the idea that I can't just have the best of everything outright turns me off of the service. I think its ridiculous that I have to dip in to my credit card if I want the coolest couch. I understand that this money is to keep PSN free. But the issue is that even with all of these micro transactions the online gaming experience will still pale in comparison to Live. TheSystemLord1
I don't know but if the rest of PSN is any indication, it'll improve hugely over time. And Sony will probably make a ton of money from all of the advertising. I tend to be an optimistic fellow so yeah, I'll say it will be a moderate success.

Interesting response... How so? You've not said anything either way on the subject. Am I to believe you support any form of micro transaction within Home?
Home is a WIP (work in progress), so there is no need to be talking about it failing or not. As for it living up to its own hype -- I haven't seen anything that has.

My previous response was in reference to you strange need to include your closing statement. Micro-transactions are akin to DLC. I personally have no problem with premium digital content offered for additional money as that's been standard practice for many years and for the last 2 for PSN. I'm not clear on why your reluctance to spend your money on something you think is cool should translate into a generalization of the service and those who opt to partake.

Strange need to include a closing statement? This is a thread, so long as it is open I can respond to anything I please. As for generalizations? Yes, my opinion of Home is that it is likely to be nothing more than a money sink that will have people paying incremental amounts of money for digital trinkets until one day they receive their credit card statements and realize those trinkets have cost them $30 - $50. The $1 - $2 figure is EXTREMELY conservative in my opinion judging by the $3 sack boy costumes on PSN right now. There is no malice in anything I've said towards those wishing to spend their money that way. My problem is with Sony for not only cluttering up the space with ads, but having the audacity to charge us for meaningless in-game items. If they want to make money off of Home then they should create Home-Times Square and fill it with movies/music/Playstation videos playing in the background. Then sell any ad space available there. Having any sort of monetary requirement for any aspect of PSN immediately puts it on the same ground as Live, to which it pales in comparison.

Purely speculative.

So you're upset Sony didn't plaster obnoxious ads all over the place but instead created virtual goods for use by avatars for optional use while still maintaining a free service?

:| *facepalm Blah, if this were system wars... Ok, you support micro transactions, I don't. I suppose there would have to be more like you than me for Sony's focus groups to say this was alright.
It has to fail. It cant live up to the hype, because everyone was treating it like its the next big game of 08', and its not even a game. It's the stupid people who hyped it up to an insane level, it's their faults.....
im being optimistic. It seems like a cool idea, and from what ive read there will be alot of content added. I also have no problems with payin 2$ to get a furrari or ed hardy outfit in game, or however much stuff costs. If its really cool, and less that 6$ i might consider buyin.
