Official PSHome Thread......Keep it all here.....All others will be locked.....

So first Sony lies to you about Killzone 2 E3 Trailer. Now they are using ANOTHER gimmick to get people hooked to this Second Life meets Xbox Live Achievments? Please this is so sad, and now Cows are going to what...hype this as the next Halo 3 killer? *slow claps*

Alright cows, you go have your fun with your $1.00 virtual shoes and your $5 couch, and your $10 movie for 24hours and your $2 shirt, before you know this will cost more than XBL yearly, sad.

But it IS possible that with all the PSHome is going to offer, you may find yourself "nickle-and-diming" your way to over $5 a month worth of stuff (games, clothes, etc.).  Is it worth it?  That's T.B.D., but to think that the best experiences in PSHome will all be free of charge might be narrow-minded.  Just like having to pay for the premium content on Live.

I'm interested to hear from Major Nelson and the Xbox team on how they view this and what they have up their sleeves.

It's about time Sony actually impressed me with something very innovatitve, that has a ton of potential, but we'll see soon enough whether this PSHome is any good or not, along with possible microtransactions, aside from the free stuff at the beginning. Blue-Sphere

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: !

What bothers me almost as much as this blatant ripoff of competitor's ideas is the cows' reaction to it.

Before: "Achievements are pointless." "OMG Miis, Kidtendo is at it again!! :lol:"

After: "TS&LHBO, we get achievements and Miis!!"

I guess I should be used to it by now...:roll:

I think i'm the only one who dislikes this whole Home approach to an online community.

Graphically, it is hardly charming and appealing to me since it sports a very realistic look. Too realistic I would go so in saying. The Sims, despite having a similar style, at least had some charm to it whereas this has absolutely none. It's trying to pull off making a game lobby into a Sims-lite MMO, but unfortunately that will over complicate matters as far as menus go. It will be essential that it streams flawlessly from the HDD, otherwise I will have to wade through loading screens just to get to a pre-game lobby of all things. I just think Sony are trying to do too much by making it like a living room on your television. They have taken the simple but effective matchmaking approach, and added layer upon layer of un-necessary ideas and a frankly ugly design.

I also think that the way you access the features is all wrong. I mean, a trophy room? A cinema that you have to walk to? All I want to do is scroll down a menu and press play. When I look at it from the rival Xbox 360s point of view, I don't want to turn on my console and have to boot up Home, then walk to each movie and hit play. It will just side track me from what I really want to be watching or downloading. I think again this demonstrates how Sony have over-complicating proceedings to outweigh the rivals. What is really happening to us is that we are being blinded by their pretty lights and ambition. When we do manage to finally see however, it will make us yearn for simpler times.

Call me a hater or skeptic if you want, but that's just the way I feel on the whole Home system. I prefer the lists and simplicity of the Xbox Live blade system over this. I think the idea would have fared better with a charming Mii style cartoon look and Xbox Live simplicity to be honest...

Yep. Ripoff.

No, what do you do with your miis? NOTHING. They sit in a room and you look at them. And first off, this is a rip-off of 2nd life/sims, not miis. coolguy1111

So you think no ideas were taken from Miis?

This is the Sony last resort. "When all else fails, just copy everything our competitors are doing." Hell, not even the last resort, more like the first resort.

Sony would have no reason to rip off of the Sims.

[QUOTE="axt113"][QUOTE="A2D"] 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.

Even the haters can't hate on this! lol.

Who are you to say Miis won't be used in future games?
