Honestly I think most people don't realize just how nice having HOME will be once its released. I am in the beta but, its an excellent idea and will hopefully be successful. That is to say if people use it, the beta is almost useless since there are only a handful of people on at anytime.

can't wait. That live sporting event thing sounds pretty cool.

Step 11 take over x box live

....wish that they would just release it. PS3 needs this, i want to be able to get achievementson my ps3 games and show them off as trophies in Home in my personal home space.

They have to released HOME soon to all the million PS3 user out there...I bet you its going to be a big hit...

I want this to be great when it's finally released, but the wait is killing me.

I just wish they wouldn't announce stuff so early. It wouldn't bother so bad if it hadn't been announced almost 1 YEAR AGO.

Can't wait. I wanna have framed porn on the walls of my Home Pad. What a good month to release it too. Was worried they were gonna put it back. Again.

this will be sooo nice.

can't wait.

As the article says, it has a "release date" sometime in March...
I'd rather have it released when its ready, so i know i have a 99% bugfree environment to run around in. There's no need to be impatient, besides, its free.
with that said, look at the more positive sides of this. We just got an article with alot of brand new information:
House Pets in your space. (thats news to me)
Small application size.
Playstation Store availability from inside home (read nr.7)
Sporting events and online concerts.

If this thing comes out in march, the PS3 will be ahead of the other consoles by August.

to get more replay value outta my games tryin to make the hall of fame, now thats even better than acheivements to me but cant wait to get those also

I forgot all about this, actually. When's it due out now... October??? Please.

My main "most wanted" feature within Home is to actually set up all of our store bought (PSN games and PS1 games and so forth and so on) in Coin Op cabinets inside our home or something like in the lounge maybe.

It'd be awesome to just walk up to the game in question and play directly inside home. for instance, placing High Velocity Bowling inside a custom arcade cabinet and playing it directly from inside home.

home will rock!

home will rock!

my most anticipated feature for Home is the one where you can watch streaming video in virtual cinemas

imagine stumbling into a cinema only to find an interview with sqeenix about ff13 that spills the beans on the gameplay features- and then you can voice chat to discuss what has been said

this will be great- i cant wait to start unlocking cool trophies

this is great news i hope it does not get delayed again ...an wow if it for sure will be free this will be the end of xbox live

did i read that pets in home?

what next sports cars lol

2010 we will see a gta like city ( dreaming ) or am i who knows with psn
as they said it will expand

Great but when is the public beta?????????????????????

I hope that the thophies have a value with which you can buy stuff for your home like cd player for music, tv for videos, and like someone said above, showing off in a bling expensive cruiser sounds really good.

I just noticed N4G finally made a section for the fanboys. Awesome!

I have been wondering if this would be apart of the Home experience.
Sony has incorporated the use of a virtual PSP to allow the user to navigate around the virtual world. Yet could it be possible to just use your real psp instead? Allowing a nearly seamless integration of the user into this virtual world? Having the OPTION to utilize the PSP in this manner could allow for a number of potential ideas.

Do you guys agree? Would this be something that would appeal to you as well?

Wow who knew that I would prefer the Fanboy Zone, the other zone was too sterile for me. Like your mother not letting you play with the other children cause it's too sunny outside.

Anyone else planning to make their house a dungeon? A decrepit mark of horror on society's face? Guess it's just me then.

We don't have a clue how big this will be. It's gonna be huge.

can't wait!!!!

home will change my primary system from the 360 to the ps3 and i will only keep my 360 for the exclusives. i think developers will see an increase in sales also,i think this is just what sony needs.i cant wait

Home seems really promising, hope Sony can pull this out very well polished.

with a System Update. If they put it in the store then they will be making it "optional" and causual gamers or people that don't care won't dowonload it and have the chance to try it out.

Home looks really good I will be getting Home the first day

500 MB thats good I was expecting 2 or 3 gigs at the least.

QUOTE:
Communicating with your friends or other users through Home should be an easy affair. You’ll be able to use the virtual keyboard, a regular keyboard, a USB/Bluetooth headset or e-motions (gestures like waving at people or dancing).

Especially if you can use the PS3 Eye to interact with your character.

Till it comes out i've been wanting to go on this for ages...

This is an aspect of HOME that could be interesting.

As i understand it there will be virtual billboards (like the spidey 3 one in the link) which can be used to advertsie upcoming and released products. This could prove a rather interesting money spinner for Sony and a good way for devs to show of their wares.

They need to hrry up with home and this in-game xmb I can live w.o home but not in-game friends and chat.

This is gonna make it so much easier and funner, meeting up with ur buddy's on home walking around looking so fresh.... I can't wait.

Would do a semi closed beta, bet give all the owners of the 60 gig the opertuniy to test it as a bonus for purchasing early and the most expensive console.

Just a thought.....

I hope we have the ability to make our characters sit down in unique ways (attentitive, chillin', high off our minds, etc). Also, the lighting looks ridiculously good.

It's going to be wierd getting used to traveling around the world and talking to people as all this content is playing in the background, but I can't wait to do it. Actually, now I'm really excited about what Home might be like when Broadband connection speeds finally get to a decent level. 64 individuals in each area is a pretty good amount, but hopefully Sony can get three or four hundred people at once someday.

I am so F*CKING EXCITED!!! WOOOOOHOOOO!!!

I can't wait to go HOME.....this sh*t is gonna blow away Xbox Live and make its paid subscribers look like fools!

lol!

home is gonna be awesome, i just hope sony would release some form of playtest to the public so we can try it out

I wish Home would release already.

I think this is probably the ps3 biggest realese this year.

Thank you N4G for making your forums a safer place from console wars. Props to you guys and I love the website, your tireless scavenging of the internet brings all of the news we need to know into one place.

Home would be Sony secret weapon for sure, Home would definaly be the bridgehead for play tv, or whatever its called. Sony definaly never failed to dissepoint me, however tougth that microsoft also provide smilar products, their release speed is more effective :(

Oh well ... at least we see it sometimes this year? :) ... or maybe not lol!

I really doubt that XBL will be beaten down by Home. I just think that Home will be something fun for some people but nothing which will totally beat XBL.

very olddd.. no new information here.
