While we admittedly don't frequent Home on a regular basis, we are glad to see that SCEA has designed a catchy promo to end their videos with. The redesigned PS3 logo and the slogan "It Only Does Everything" is a great statement that really makes clear the PS3's ability to play more than games. Now if only SCEA would bother going on a marketing campaign like its European counterpart ...

Wait for it, just wait for it.
"THERE GOES SONY AGAIN, ARROGANT AS USUAL."
I don't see it as such though. It's confidence. And while people always bash it for its price, it really does SO much for its price. I like it, I just hope others do too, because it does seem kinda.. ballsy.

Obviously, I'm referring to the tagline. Regarding Home, I don't really ever go Home. Not that I'm against it, but I feel like I have no reason to (I'm still trying to "get" it, I guess). I'm hearing some good news coming out of it though, and I guess I should try it again. Don't get me wrong, I WANT to like it, I just need to give it a chance. If my PSN friends would go online more often, I'd try to go there together. =/

I wish they would make home LBP based. it'd be much more fun with sack people and with the LBP style

I personally love Home, sure it could have a lot more usefull features but it gets updated pretty rapidly. It really does help to have other friends interested in it though.
Jerses @ Aug 26th 2009 2:55PM
Lol you should change your friends :P I always erase the ones that i never talk, play or play madden all the time.
Home is just a place to relax (if its raining lol), to find friends to play games with, or even to play the games home have to offer like poker,bowling,cars,the one in the pound, red bull plane, themed minigames (resistance,siren,buzz,etc). You can also join tournaments.
If anyone like to add me my psn id is "xJERSESx"

It does everything but let you chat with friends.
Paul @ Aug 26th 2009 3:46PM
you have to buy a headset. talking into the tv doesn't cut work.
Paul @ Aug 26th 2009 3:47PM
how did that cut slip in there? huh
linebeginstoblur @ Aug 26th 2009 4:20PM
You can chat with anyone, regardless of what game they're playing.
Buy a keyboard.
drdre74 @ Aug 26th 2009 4:23PM
If I'm in the middle of a game why in the world would I want to sit there and type a message when I should be able to just leave a voice message to tell someone to join in the game. Its alot faster than typing thats for sure.
linebeginstoblur @ Aug 26th 2009 4:28PM
You said you wanted to chat with friends. You can. Text chat is still, you know, chat.
I guess I see that it would be a bit of a hassle for the most part, but you'd have to halt gameplay to go over to the guy's user ID just to leave a voice message anyway. Starting a text message and simply saying "hey, come join this game," if you aren't hunting-and-pecking, it would take you just about as long.
linebeginstoblur @ Aug 26th 2009 4:36PM
You said you want to chat. And you said that you want to send a short message saying, "Hey, come join this game."
Text chat is still chat. And if you're not hunting-and-pecking, it's going to take you just as long.

animated tshirts have like a month...there were only like 4 for the price of 2.99 i think. They should add night transition in home so they can glow intense :P
Also i hate the photoframe...it only let you add 5 photos (with bad quality) and you cant move them from the 5 predefined location :S And the wooden frame is just look to old...i need a frame that match my apartment loft style. Sorry for my english :P

Why did I ever download Home? I'm not into social networking - it really is a waste of my precious PS3 80gb of space.
Traceur_Ryuk (PSN: Ryuk_shinigami) @ Aug 26th 2009 2:47PM
Ever considered, you know... Deleting it?
Paul @ Aug 26th 2009 3:48PM
just hit triangle and delete it...worked for me.
deusmecha @ Aug 26th 2009 1:55PM
Oh goodie, I was waiting for the flood of people complaining about Home & stating that it's "useless" or that they "never use it".Seriously, why would you even bother to read, much less comment on a damn article about something that you supposedly don't care about?
Paul @ Aug 26th 2009 3:50PM
because we want it to be good. and maybe just maybe if we complain loud enough someone important will hear.
linebeginstoblur @ Aug 26th 2009 4:31PM
For the record, though I did say I hardly ever use it, I did compliment Sony on their vast improvements to the service, and I did say that not having many friends who are online has halted my journey back Home lately.
If someone's going to be rude and yell at Home just to yell at Home, yes, that's annoying. But if you like Home, why not feel good about the fact that people admit that they don't use it much, yet express interest in new features, meaning that it will be more populated, resulting in Sony realizing what works for its community, and thus helping it become even better? All I'm saying is that not everyone here is trying to be rude about it. ;)
Night Elve @ Aug 26th 2009 7:44PM
Well Paul if you want SONY to listen to you, I don't think complaining about it will help, maybe if you start criticizing in a constructive way would do the trick.

Home needs to get some sort of streaming video service like the apparently awesome Netflix setup on the 360. then it'll officially only do everything...
Jerses @ Aug 26th 2009 2:45PM
you can watch videos on the ps3 web browser and if you like to watch netflix on it you can use the media server. On the 360 you cant web browser places like Hulu, megavideo...megaporn :P, youtube,etc,etc,etc.
Also, home has its own theather...even if its just trailers, its for free.
Netflix on the 360 will be crap anyway. it will not stream on HD.
Paul @ Aug 26th 2009 3:51PM
It's called PlayOn and it's the tits!
Sean @ Aug 26th 2009 8:34PM
Aside from playOn it also has media streaming which is free you just gotta own what u wanna see or be walking to d.l it
kentuckyfried @ Aug 26th 2009 9:21PM
That's all well and good with PlayOn except that it doesn't exist in the US!
(I've been trying to get my friend to buy a ps3 but he keeps citing this feature as why he wants to stick with the 360).
Mo @ Aug 26th 2009 2:03PM
like the new tagline at the end... i hope scea follows suit and hope to see ALOT more of it after all sorts of commercials between now and good ol xmas...
norris @ Aug 26th 2009 3:21PM
That PS3 ad at the end was sweet!
BIGGIN @ Aug 26th 2009 2:50PM
Why does every 360 avatar dress-up doll update seem to make the front page, but the majority of Playstation's Home's full featured updates get relegated to the Playstation only portion of the site?
borland502 (SDF Macross) @ Aug 26th 2009 2:56PM
It's weird. I mean rumor is Home is making piles of money for Sony, but no one here admits going to Home regularly. Maybe it's like fetish porn: Everyone looks, but few admit it. For me, it's a hook to show my Sims 2 addicted spouse now and again. But I can't say I've actually spent any money on it.
'course you know I haven't checked snopes.com on the rumor that Home is very profitable...
butlersp @ Aug 26th 2009 3:47PM
The funny thing about Home is that on the European side of Home the movie theater is still bettter than here and it gets more motion picture marketing than over here. There was a "game" for Transformers that earned you 4 free shirts and for GI Joe there was free Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Duke & Barones outfits and a free shirt for trying the flash shooting range. Hell even Star Trek gave out free stuff over there. The Visari Palace has been out over there for about 2 months now. Granted it is good marketing for over there.
Can't wait for version 1.3 when everyone has to redownload everything.
The1stMJC @ Aug 26th 2009 4:43PM
I love the tag line it does everything. now if only Sony would advertise all it does than maybe casuals will buy it.
stephen @ Aug 26th 2009 10:54PM
The only thing home is missing is a 3rd person shooter game. Free to play but you can buy other guns for a small fee. Sony if your listening DO IT!!!
