[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.

Well, that is what they are banking on.  They will offer this as "free", but in hopes you drop more than $5 a month buying things for you and your crib.

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...

Luck

Um I only bought one theme and if I want to change my background I use a regular picture. So I don't like paying for that.

I agree 100%, plus, you forgot to mention that this is not a game. What Sony needs to save the sytem and take my money is some good games, because as everyone knows (although the Sony Lovers wont admit it), is that there are no games out right now for the PS3. I played VF5 - its OK, I finished RFOM - its OK, I have MotorStorm - its OK, etc, etc.... Luck

I don't think that's entirely relevant to an online infrastructure argument. The great games are coming soon, but right now I was just expressing my dissappintment with the Home system. Most of the other things the PS3 offers are great but the devs just need time to get more and better games out, if that was the response you were looking for. An online system doesn't really affect my view as far as PS3 game development as a whole goes.

 i don´t really know if this will be a system seller.

SHOW ME THE GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not going to regret my 360 purchase...... and I would never regret my Wii purchase but damn is sony comming back with a vengence. Little big world might make me buy a PS3.............way to go sony.

Some people are acting like you will have to take streets to get around the world. its obvious that there will be hub areas separate for Shopping, Cinemas and such with some bigger than others depending on its purpose. Once a room is created I'm sure you will be using a menu of some sort to bring your character to that area. the 3d world is just a representation of the menus and such so it seem more social and interactive.... its smart. The fact the cell processor is really good for streming media shows the potential for sharing media over networks through you tv or stereo in your HOME is really a cool idea imagine. Imagine this you and your friends are getting together later for an online match(a footbal game for instance). A couple of your friends are working you can meet a couple of your friends by getting them to come to you house share a movie or some music while waiting for your buddy to get home when he gets home he pops online and goes to your HOME where you and your other friends are waiting to setup the game.Citan_Uzuki

I'm interested in seeing Microsoft's response to this.  Per Major Nelson (Larry Hryb, MS employee):

"I need to spend more time looking at the screenshots and descriptions or for that matter look see what finally ends up shipping before I comment, but at first glance it sure looks interesting. I will say that ‘Little Big Planet’ looks like it has potential."

I enjoy reading the haters' comments. :lol:. keep it coming. keep hating, if it makes you feel better.xxThyLordxx

Ok, now, XBL is officially boring!  What gimmick will Microsoft pull out of their anal cavities this time?WinFresh

So its the SIms multi player? It might be cool buts its definetly not convinent.... Oh and have fun paying for premium items...

"The most basic of these are things PS3 users will pay for: Harrison said there will be high-end--and possibly branded--items of clothing which users can purchase for their avatars. He also showed a "luxury" apartment which will have several floors and a lakeside view--and heavily hinted it would not be gratis."

I think Sony just won the war....Timesplitter14

Did Sony mention how long this has been in dev for? (HOME)?

[QUOTE="Puckhog04"]Can someone list the features that it is supposedly going to have over Xbox Live (if it's implemented correctly)? Other than price...no fanboy responses please. I can't watch the video on Gametrailers...at a public computer. :?Bread_or_Decide

Life like avatars. Virtual house to live in. Hang out with other users outside or in your own pad. Customize your public and private space. Play arcade games. Its basically an MMO version of XBOX live.

Home looks great and all... But what if you just want to play some dam video games?justdog11
