Friday 09 Mar 2007 Sony Entertainment announced, much to the delight of all current and future PS3 owners, that a whole new facet to the PS3 was about to be revealed. Yes, that new facet was the announcement of Home, a massive online virtual world populated by hundreds of PS3 users from around the world to make a completely interactive and living community. Home will enable users to create their very own avatar that will represent them in the online space, an environment so highly detailed that it feels like you are playing in a full scale game. |

why cant you just do that without the whole 'home' thing?
seems like a waste of time and money.
Surely i could do almost all of that from my start page.
now we'l have to waste time 'walking' from one place to the next.
"Home is set to become very popular amongst the PS3 community"
Thats not because it will be usefull. Thats because its free. duh.
I just want a good game. please sony give me 1 good game. (that is not a remake of GTA)
Too late, got my PS3 up for sale now. Keeping the PSP. (bring home to psp!!!)
yet another pointless reason to buy a PS3.
2008 and not a game worth buying, but at least home is still planned to come out! Honestly i couldnt care if they ditched this. I agree with deepwater... GIVE ME A GOOD GAME! NOT THIS RUBBISH! AN EXCLUSIVE GAME (or 10) or i WILL sell this ugly black chunk and buy a goddamn WiiWii. I never use bluray anyway.
Sony you are sucking this gen.
I am officially a traitor. Got a Wii AND a 360 last week... got £300 for my 60gig PS3... not bad. I recommend this Wiisports its truthfully really great. Got massive updates on the wii, got loads of channels extra (news weather internet (superfast) a vote thing, a contest thing, and a new version of the photo channel) the photo channel is amazing
GET ONE
as a playstation fan i can safely tell you the wii is great and the 360 is the same as the ps3 but cheaper.
the 360 has great stuff on 'live', more than the PSnetwork (HDmovies for ex)
i am now a happy chappy.
The Wii can do everything the PS3 can do, just at lower resolution. but still in HD (at 480p instead of 1080p).
I own a PS3 and a Wii. I got both for different reasons but now i regret getting the PS3 as all the PS3 is better at, is graphics.
I find it strange and highly annoying how my 40gig ps3 is full already!... the only full games i have are motorstorm and warhawk. Apart from them I only have free downloads off the psn and 40gig is gone!!
never mind space needed for photo's, video's and game save's. Each file is TOO BIG!
On the other side (the Wii side)
The Wii has a pathetic 512mb flash memory.
BUT....
I have 18 save files from games i own and have swapped.
I have downloaded these games from the virtual console:
mario 2
mario3
mario world
pacman
sonic 2
WSC
gunstar heroes
f zero
f zero X
bomberman
I have:
news channel
weather channel
vote channel
mii channel
mii contest channel
internet channel
photo channel
shop channel
AND I STILL HAVE AROUND 200mb left! (thats enough room for another 6 to 10 games)
MY POINT IS EVEN THOUGH THE PS3 HAS 40gig AND ALL ITS FEATURES, THE Wii WITH ITS 512mb IS FAR MORE USEFULL
I agree, how big will the 'home' download be and how many demo's will i have to delete befor i can play on it?
so much hate for sony here...
bring on GTA, that'l cheer you all up. .. or will it?
some game demo downloads for the PS3 are HUGE! 40gig ends up being not very much (not anywhere near enough space)
I want to sell my PS3 but my friends will laugh at me. AND i dont think i'll get anywhere near what i paid for the damn huge thing.
sony, whats happened?
i can imagine this will look fantastic. all that 3Dness and stuff but i have to agre with 'sonyownmymoney'
why cant we just do all that from our start page? why do we need the 3D walking around avatar thing?
it will look cool but ultimately it is useless.
please forget about this sony. We dont want it, and definately dont need it.
how about making bluray movies cheaper? or will i spend the rest of my life not buying them?
Yet another 'great' idea to waste more time and money from Sony.
I think I am going to try and get a wii, no more heroes looks really good, batallion wars has just come out and i could rock at that. Anyone want to buy a PS3? How much can i get for it second hand? I think life would be easier with a wii as its less hassle to take around my mates house, the PS3 is too big, heavy, and the badly shaped case is VERY breakable.
I didnt waste £500 to get a pointless avatar, i paid for good game experience and am not getting that at all.
we are all saved!!! no need to worry bout lack of great top games on our beloved PS3... we are getting Home!!..... woopey flippin dooooo.
and dont forget the up and coming in game XMB!
wow i can see it all turning now! wii and 360 have no chance against a home and a xmb.
seriously now i am sick of this crap and am selling up. wii gets more good games than i do and thats just not fair as i payed more for my experience.
Wii and Xbox are goin down Sony his genious great exclusives and other games and to top it all off HOME I was worried but all we'll be well sony won the 5th and 6th gaming generation war and they're about to win the 7th 2008 THE YEAR OF THE PS3
airman have you been stuck in a hole? the only good thing coming to ps3 is gta4, and thats on 360 too. mgs4 looks stale and boring and overdone and home is.. erm... delayed AGAIN!
the only good game we have got already is PAIN and thats a download not a real game.
selling my ps3 i think. i cant take this anylonger.
wow thats a lot of angry ps3 owners.
makes me happy i got a wii
long live nintendo!
yeah well i sell my ps3 i get a 360 not wii so poop to u
trying to sell my mate my ps3 3 too, i think he gonna buy it. i gettin a 360 with the money or maybe a wii. depends whats in stock. will still be able to play ps3 at his house if anything good does come out.
sony sure were squeezed out of this console race.
my super computer ps3 turned out to be a 360 in a butt ugly disguise.
im very dissapointed. never thought i might actually buy a nintendo!!!
i am going to hold out a bit longer, my ps3 is collecting dust now. nothing fun since gta4 and thats getting a bit 'old' now (same damn game as san andreas but with better graphics and less to do - for example no ambulance missions, flying cars, planes, or tanks!).
not sure if i care about this home thing anymore, new 'qore' thing is out but thats a rip off.
i think i'll give it a month or so to see whats happening game wise then i may sell up like you lot.
not the best comments you could hope for
abetterlife you chat rubbish. motor storm and warhawk are both really small installs, probably about 1gig for both, so you've obviously just filled the rest with porn. also home will be a great place to meet people and socialize with other gamers. it sounds like none of you actually own ps3's and just wanna bitch about not having any major releases like home for your platforms. whats the xbox or wii have announced which is as big and as innovative as this.
