okay, I read the OP and just hooked up my PS3. I live in the USA with a console from my region. I am clueless. I went to wiki, and I went here...

I do not see a Home icon. Is the beta no longer open, or am I just failing that badly?

So you can't buy them at the mall...? Don't really like ordering online but I will for this!Wollan said:

What the fuck do you wanna do? It's like a virutal chatroom ... so you chat in it. It's not a videogame.

It is a broken and under-featured chat-room right now... and I sure hope that Sony does not have this limited view of HOME as they would be wasting the service's potential...

Those things you can buy are just rediculous, and so are the prices :lol
Enjoy your 1.99 wooden chair :lol
Just amazing they went for the microtransaction thing here instead of a reward/trophy system that was promised. I sure hope it fails.

You've failed, cause that was never promised.

Exactly, it could use much more distractionary content, but it's ultimately a glorified chatroom system to casually allow PS3 users to interact. It will have the feature tie ins like game launching, but big deal until they're actually around.
They just need to expand the content; right now HOME is fine. If it's exactly like this 2 months from now, then there's a problem, but it won't be.

it's as much of a beta as gmail is. It'll always be a beta because it'll constantly be evolving. Calling it a beta doesn't give it a reason to suck as much as it does
I don't get this sentiment. I personally don't like Home, I checked it out a few times and it's not for me. But it's obvious that people are enjoying it in its current state, and that it's meeting Sony's goals in terms of profitability (I'm astounded at the amount of people wearing premium clothing, including the santa outfit, whenever I load it up).Zen said:
I see Home as a side function of the PS3 and am totally fine with the fact that it's not for me. If they want to add stuff that appeals to me, great, but I don't feel they NEED to make me happy in order for Home to serve a purpose.

Yea

I agree. Look at the change in the PS3 year on year, even 6 month increments.
So if they are as responsive about Home as they have been about XMB in general, it should be a completely different beast relatively quickly. And I dont mean game spaces, as those are up to developers, but core features.

Overall Home's an interesting effort, though I have to admit just wandering around you can totally see every chick has a mob of guys around them trying to get their number or somesuch. That being said, had a great game of chess with one guy last night in the mall, and when we were done we stood up and there was six people standing around watching the game (they weren't even waiting for the table to free up).
Pretty nifty.

They have to figure out what to do about the adolescent mobbing of female avatars.

Not true. They also added new trailers and different ads everywhere. Also new clothes, the santa stuff as well as the suits. And I think some new furniture, some shelves and stuff that I had not seen before.
That was around the 20th update. We are now about a week after that, so I imagine the next update ought to be sometime this week. Xmas and New Years throw everything off...
Home is nice and it has potential to be much better but they need to fix a few problems and to expand on its features.
The best thing in Home atm are its games (bowling, pool, chess, checkers and more), I think they should really expand on this aspect with more games because it's a big opportunity, card games would be nice (I don't know if they have problems with them because of the gambling nature but afterall there is no money involved) and where are my pinballs? They could license a few real pinball games by Williams and Data Est (Black Knight, Hook, White Water), I'd love it
A negative aspect is that you have to wait like in real life if you want to play, that could be a significant problem if the community grows.
A big problem in Home is communication, this is a console community and it shows, virtually no one has a keyboard so it's really difficult to chat beyond the usual 'hello', 'where are you from',etc. Too many people are just running, dancing, doing stupid things because it's difficult to communicate. The worst thing is that it's a really difficult issue to fix because of the console nature.
The theater section is under developed and disappointing, there are too few trailers, video quality is bad, there is not a real full screen option and no internal video streaming.
I would also like to see more downloadable contents, especially more estates (which are the only things I'd pay for atm).
Can't comment on the game themed sections because they have not launched those in Europe yet.
Overall I think Home atm is a decent free application, but again it has the potential to be much more but they need to continue to develop the product, hopefully the Home vision will be fully realized by the end of 2009.
