Playstation Home finally hitting the PS3 - does anyone still care?

Dave Parrack writes,

"Playstation Home has been one of the most delayed products in gaming I have ever experienced. But, now, the wait may finally be coming to an end, as speculation grows over a full open Home launching in October. Well, we can but dream. The question is: does anyone still care?"

How do u get four approvols. does it have to do with contributor status or something?

Anyway ontopic: We all know Home is not going to be perfect when it's released. It will always need fine tuning. And Sony will always add things to home, to make it better.

And Of course, Sony can't do everything. Developers need to be with sony and support Home as much as they can.

What I certainly do know is that it's going to miles better than second life and is isn't even the same category.

Personally I am excited more about the games and getting Home is an added free feature to have.

I can't judge Home when it comes out, but it might take 2-4 months for home to really launch and show all it can to the consumer.

[zo6_lover27]

Yes, it does, I only have 1 approval right now.
Some admins have a 10 approval

Back on topic

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[360degrees]

So if it has anything whatsoever to do with the Xbox360 Video Gaming Console and the word DELAY its the biggest thing in the World since sliced Bread.....and the bashing seems to have no end...But if its the(What seems like eternal) delay of Playstations Home its automatically forgiven ...and the fans say "The delay will make it better"...."Sony doesn't like to deliver unfinished products" "ETC".."ETC.... . since no one else will i call "shenanigans" on Home....

[jwatt]

People still care but it's just that since it got delayed and we don't really know the release date we try not to get too excited only to be disappointed from a rumor that has the wrong release date.

Trust me if there is a article that says "Home is out now" the temperature would shoot through the roof.

[Milky Joe]

You're damn right I still care! I'm in the Beta at the mo and have been thoroughly enjoying it. I'm just waiting for all my mates to get hold of it so that I can really start to use it properly.

Seriously, if you're in the Beta, you will understand what all the hype was about back when it was announced.

EDIT: @ 360degrees: The only reason 360 delays are bashed by the PS3 folk is that last year when things weren't going so well for the PS3 you 360 guys were having an absolute field day letting everyone know how doomed and pathetic the PS3 was. 360 fanboys are in absolutely no position to complain.

[NegativeCreep427]

But what the hell! It's not like its going to impact anybody's wallets when it comes out. ITS FREE OF CHARGE!!!

"Does's anyone still care?"

I have the real question: Does's anyone still find this biased indifference towards PS3 and its services amusing?

[Genesis5]

Well I care and I care quite a bit. It's going to be great. I'm glad they are taking the time to make sure it is done right.

[Squeely]

Protip - It's the same guy. Look at all of their story approvals and you'll most likely find each approving each others stories.

[DiabloRising]

Quoted for truth. It does not justify anyone acting like a troll or fanboy however, but if you want to know the WHY, this poster hit the nail on the proverbial head.

As for Home, depends on how good it turns out. Trophies were much cooler IMHO, but we'll see.

[Milky Joe]

Oh yeah, I wasn't justifying it by any means, it's just that 360 fanboys were a little to c0cky back then and now that things are different they shouldn't act so surprised that they're getting a slice of comeuppance.

[RH06]

will be nice for the PS3! Home will be great as well, as for the delayed products...Talk to the makers of Too Human, then get back to me!

[SixTwoTwo]

Yes and no.

Yes because I'm interested in what 3rd parties like EA and Namco have done with their developer spaces. I want to see what kind of cool stuff they have for us, if any.

No because even if the developer spaces do have some cool stuff to keep me occupied, nothing else in Home appeals to me :/

[bpac123456789]

if you don't care than simple, don't use it. its a free service and thats amazing in itself, nobody is forcing it down your throat. but you would be foolish to not even give it a chance.

[beoulve]

an XBOX 360 fanboy doesnt care and wrote a blog or article to convince everyone?

[ruibing]

Agreed, this article is pretty lame. It's simply using news from last week mixed in with some sarcasm.

Personally, I think he just felt left out because he wasn't invited into the beta.

[BattleAxe]

I tried the beta out for the first time lastnight, and I was pleasantly surprised. It was alot of fun and I met alot of people. I was playing pool with other people, chatting, playing arcade games and chess. I took a trip through the mall and bought some clothes, furniture and a summer home space. They've got an outdoor music area which was cool and I even popped into the movie theater.

My apartment looks PIMP and the view from the balcony is beautiful. I think alot of people are going to get addicted to HOME. Has anyone seen that PSP commercial in the bowling alley? Its on one of the TVs hanging on the wall, its hilarious.

[Wizeguy21]

What about
final fantasy 12 that was delayed for years or Duke Nukem we are still waiting for that. Or how about Starcraft Ghost! dude Do some research!

[SL1M DADDY]

It's just that now I am not holding my breath. I do wish it were here already but if it comes late and comes finished then by all means, take your time Sony.

[Nineball2112]

I care about it and I'm looking forward to trying it out! I would have liked to have been in the Beta, but oh well... The waiting has been annoying, but since it's a free app., I can't complain.

I think (hope) it's going to be successful and be another system selling point.

[Tarasque]

I am also in the beta while it looks good and scale is nice, there is nothing to do. Unless they add more to it and incorporate your games with it more then i will not be using it. And being that it is free it doesn't matter if it is good or bad at least they tried something different.

[Jake1111]

How many gamers here have dreamed of going to E3 but couldnt afford the trip or didnt have a contact to let them in.??

Well guess what. All PS3 owners will now be able to go to virtual game conferences on the PS3. E3, GIC, etc etc.

This alone is going to make Home HUGE!! To be able to not only see the gaming conferences but to participate in asking the developers questions, play the demos etc.

This is GENIUS!! This is the future my friends. Save you air fair, gas, hotel, food, etc etc etc...

I am surprised no other gaming console company has thought of this before.

KUDOS TO SONY FOR CONSTANTLY INNOVATING GAMING!!!

[Jamegohanssj5]

Hm let me see. DOES ANYONE HERE STILL CARE!?!?

I also want to know why can't I get 4 approvals like Blook mask. It must depend on Rank.

TGSI

[I LOVE my xbox]

I know I definitely will be spending a lot of time in Home. It's the coolest way to meet new friends on the PSN and then watch movies, play games, or just chat together... crazy.

[theEnemy]

But the prick at gamer.blorge doesn't.

Anyone care about him ?

[ravinash]

Over 200 comments to this artical already, so I'm guessing yeah...people do care.

[jedicurt]

yes

[SmokeyMcBear]

the most delayed products he has experienced.. are you fing serious... it was only announced feb last year, with a plan for a open beta for christmas last year.. essentially it has been delayed 1 year.. but all the while having a closed beta... geez.. over exaggerate much?

[Kleptic]

totally agree....I love reading things written by an idiot on the internet...

[MrNegativity]

SURE FELT LIKE 6 YEARS.

[deeznuts]

I immediately stopped reading when i read the hyperbole.

[badz149]

and I thought Too Human was delayed more than anything else in gaming history or Duke nukem forever anyone? I don't know but a year delay for home is by far not the worst and it's a massive online community project, not simply a 'game'! I'm not saying delay for anything is good or this delay is better than that delay, but stating HOME as "the most delayed products in gaming" is clearly overblown! and yes, I still care for HOME and to Sony: BRING IT ON!

[VF34EJ25]

The author is complaining about a FREE service... that alone kills any credibility he has.

[leyego]

delays to make it better and more stable even though they have been going on for a while now.
atleast its going to be better then too human. 10 years worth of delays and still turned out sh!t.

[MrNegativity]

i've been waiting to say this for the longest. NO! at least im not.

[Kyur4ThePain]

It's mister I-change-my-post-every-30-seco nds with new account.
Welcome back to one bubble, buddy.

[ravinash]

For some reason, I don't believe you.
You haven't been waiting a long time to say no....you say it every chance you get.

[iHEARTboobs]

I still care. Although some have become use to it being delayed, i'm sure once it's out a lot of people will look into it. Especially because it's free.

[gamerdude11]

I care.

[jwatt]

Yea I still have my Home theme downloaded to my ps3 in hopes of getting in the beta and you think I don't care?

[dj_funky]

i still care. delays don't bother me. that means they're just working harder to make the final product good for us.

[BabyStomper5000]

Yeah I'd rather have it functioning properly opposed to something that was rushed. The freeness on top of that is nice too.

[scotthea311]

How long was Too Human delayed?

[Kyur4ThePain]

And that wasn't even worth it, from most accounts.

[Genesis5]

And it only took a decade.

[thebudgetgamer]

:)

[LethalToxins]

Forget him! I'm STILL trying to find Carmen Sandiego...

[Bloodshedder]

carmen sandiego? im still looking for Laura Lion

[Shaka2K6]

I never been a fan of myspace, but Home looks so awesome i cant wait for it its gonna be sick.

messaging on the overpriced xbug lagve is gonna look so 80's next to Home only on Sony PS3 thanks to the power of the Cell and Blu-ray.

[-Maverick-]

No Nasim. PS3 fails.

[Drealmcc0y]

I swear you used to be pro PS3 Maverick
Or am i wrong?

[OmarJA]

Xbots cares they will be homeless poor things have fun with ur dolls errr avatars or whatever that is

[Thoas]

Maverick is pro PS3, This wanna be is -Maverick- see the difference?

[shutupandplay]

Actually, all we care about is playing games. Avatars? Yeah, they will be a nice addition. It`s not some hyped up virtual world though, just keep the nerds who play virtual worlds on the ps3 and off the 360 so us gamers will be happy.

[Scotracer]

lol, what the hell has Blu-ray got to do with a downloadable feature?

I swear 95% of the fanboys on this site get their company of choice's tag line into every comment free of charge!

Anyway, back on topic: I have never used Second Life, I didn't get into the Home Beta so I have no idea what to expect...but saying that, I don't use Facebook/Myspace or any of that junk so I probably wont care :/

[random6789012345]

wow dont no whats gayer that you said that you said that or your avatar, haha reminds me of that family guy episode where tom cruise is running from his gay thoughts and your running after tom haha

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

Er YEAH!!! ;-P I WANT IT!!!;)

HOME is the FUTURE!!!;)

The xBot Lemmings + M$ are Sh*t scared of this!!! ;-D
Bring it on SONY!!!;)
+IT'S FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! ;-P

[nonAsianDroid]

Sir KenKutaragi we must watch some animi sometime.

and make love

[zam2001]

yeah i still care .....to wait home beta code ...i wonder why i didn't receive
any mail from sony :(

[whothedog]

Since it is free I don't understand how people can be pissed about anything

Its got nice features that only can get better through updates

EDIT: I was disappointed that I was not invited into the closed beta though, I thought I was special :(

[NanoGeekTech]

"If its FREE its for me"...................

The Sony PS3 is one of the few things in the world that provide premium FREE services........

=============>please read: Free! Why $0.00 Is the Future of Business

edit: And yes I am still looking forward to HOME...

[name]

I could honestly care less.

[sandip787]

so you do care?

[San anto]

FALCON PAWNCH!!!

[LethalToxins]

I really think that saying is stated wrong more than any other... If people actually thought about what they were saying and what they were trying to say, common sense would come through.

Example: I want to express how much I don't care. How I care so little there is no way I could care less.

What to say?

"I could care less." Meaning: You care, because you still have the ability to care less.

"I couldn't care less." Meaning: You don't care at all. In fact, you don't have the ability to care less.

Thank you. Next session will cost $19.99 + tax. :D

[psiom]

I don't know how Americans got this wrong version of the saying so widespread...the mind boggles.

It's COULDN'T CARE LESS god dammit :)

I'm glad to see other people saying so.

[Sevir04]

and yeah this guy PWNED himself... ^^ and i hope you pay attention to what you are saying

[schmeidenkamp]

LOL.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

I think it was kind of a good thing that the hype has died down so people can see it for what it is instead of what they thought. I generally think when people first hear about something they usually over exaggerate or under exaggerate. Especially when there is speculation of what (product name) will be like.

Example: The announcement of M.A.G. (Massive Action Game) with 256 players at once online. For some just the number of players can turn people off while others intrigue them.

[Omega4]

Well its impact wont be as big as it could of been had it been released on time

[Kyur4ThePain]

There's no such thing as "could of".
