"There's no place like home"

[Cartesian3D]

we wont be HOMEless anymore...

I will give a Room to one of the Poor HD DVD owners for FREE..

[Dann7978]

Please give us a release date im homeless

[marinelife9]

Can't wait to hang out with you homeboys.

[rofldings]

We need an N4G party when home comes out.

I shall bring the virtual bravias and pornography. Along with Anti-360 videos.

[Sevir04]

but the anti 360 vids and the porn is on you... i'd rather stream a few blu ray movies off the HDD into home and wacth. and then after that jump right into GTA4 online or some MGSO, or even some GT5 online... either way HOME will be awesome. Sony just Needs to Bring it.

[whoelse]

Im in!

I hope home comes out? Are they still planning the open beta i wonder, or are they going all the way right away.

[squallsoft]

yea they should have virtual HDDVD graveyard in home lolz

[Marceles]

...with a "kick tombstone" option

[SI7VER]

Yeah and have all of those xbot anti PS3 comments inscribed on them lol.

[THC CELL]

so is this public create or dev?

[Dann7978]

lol the sims

[ChrisGTR1]

anyone thinking theyll give out a release date?

[DarkSniper]

Personally, Dark Sniper thinks this has no interest to gamers like the people of this site. This is more aimed for those who plan on using development tools to create content within Sony's service. As customers and as gamers, we are more concerned with WHEN we will be able to enjoy this content and show more concern on a solid release date that Home will reach to the masses.

[saprano]

saprano thinks home will end xbox live.

[mintaro]

[cam2030]

Unless mircrosoft makes xbox live free. that would save their sales for sure

[THE_JUDGE]

only THE_JUDGE and DarkSniper may speak in 3rd person. Violate THE_JUDGE and be reported.

[wow14]

Have you ever used Xbox LIVE? Home is not implementing The Guide.

[meepmoopmeep]

man, the devs are going to have a ball creating their own homes. i bet it'll be soup to the max

[kira989]

Just give me a release date!!!! You can say nothing else for the rest of the speech and ill be a happy child!!

[Ri0tSquad]

Is a big day for me. Can't wait to see when they decide to release Home.

[ISA_Scum]

Excellent. And 5 stars to the virual graveyard idea for HD-DVD. Now then, Killzone 2 info please!

[Gothdom]

Since it's thurday afternoon, would it be weird if they said "The release date of HOME is tonight, in the usual PSN update" ?

I know, I'm dreaming, but I sure hope they put a release date on HOME

[Area_51]

I cant wait to HOME School your a$$e$

[THE_JUDGE]

the devs and Sony should do with Home. Devs should offer demos of they're games in Home like they have but if it has MP they should have a MP demo also. Then should someone like the game, Home should have an option to buy the game and have it sent to the credit card's adress that you bought it with. This would allow publishers to be able to directly sell to gamers and gamers wouldn't even have to leave their couch. The movie companies should do this also with Home. Rent the movie or get an extended preview with an option to buy right from the couch. Its simple but no ones really done it yet.

[Chubear]

..wow, you jsut thought of that uh?

People will catch on to how huge this HOME thing is... eventually. lol

[Alcohog]

This has been on the site for weeks now...

Hey lets create an N4G news submission for every scheduled conference during GDC! Yay!

[MikeJonesOK]

I don't want to be homeless anymore! I got a two job and I'm still homeless! Please help me Sony!

[hunter21]

its much better if they going to say the possible or exact release date of it... but anyways its cool that were having more info. about home

[Sevir04]

With most of the games releasing at time with Home specifications and such...

I just Sony doesn't give devs the option and make it Mandate that devs Support it with trophies and whater ever else, Online games must have a launch to the multiplayer parts of the game...

i certainly want that and then everyother feature we need to have like INgame XMB access and Chat and stuff... after that HOME is what it's all about for the PSN service and that will be awesome... all the old games will certainly be patched to support it in one way or another.

Where is My KZ2 and Resistance 2 News and info?

[TheExecutive]

they are making it mandatory within the tools to support accomplishments and Home support.

[HarryEtTubMan]

LMAO THE JEALOUS bots ARE OUT OF CONTROL HHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA SQUIRM BOTS SQUIRM!!! HAHAHA YOU STILL GONNA LOSE!

[Doctor Strange]

Cant wait for GDC to finally kick off. I interested to see all the changes they made from the beta that we don't know yet.

[psnDevistator356]

Give me a home, because I dont like the one im at.

[Thepro318]

call me stupid but is this thursday the best time for them drop for a release it been a year to last GDC when HOME was introduce then we hearing about in game cross bar and now we hearing about Warhawk intergrated in HOME now plus the games already out can be patched for HOME i think most of the games has been patched for HOME i heard GTA IV got alot of Home intergration to combat 360 live support for it GTA IV i think thursday it will drop this thursday best time before for march get here and other games start coming out

[TheD_R_E]

I'm so glad to see that Sony is making this nice and accessible for devs.
