Sony Should Scrap Home

Much was made of the GDC 07 footage that unveiled Playstation Home to the public for the first time. The video promised the ability to share music, pictures, and videos that the users had stored on their hard drives with other members of home. Furthermore, the ability to launch into any game via the service was also advertised as a standard feature. Playstation users were estatic. Claims of the downfall of Xbox Live were all over the web. Fast forward to February 23rd, 2009. Almost a full 2 years after the unveiling, where do we stand?

[iamtehpwn]

As a Free application, and a good time killer, it's not half bad.

I do wish there were some goals and objectives.

[GWAVE]

I don't use Home, but why would Sony axe an open beta? It isn't even finished yet. The only people who want Home to fail are haters. It's an awesome application with a ton of potential.

[Cajun Chicken]

But this is an article of 'don't cry over spilt milk' and 'things can always get better'.

I don't go on Home very often, there honestly is nothing for me to do, I have however made about 5 friends off of Home, but basically, with all the potential of Home, as I understand it is still in Beta, its not at all living up to the potential I thought it was going to be, so far.

I semi agree with it. Because it points out how much money could of gone towards other things from Sony. But Home went forward and pulling out from it would be a sign of weakness and not to mention dumb, besides, Home was hyped up from the earliest announcement of the PS3, so people can't say Sony don't deliver.

So essentially, its too late and I hope much good will come out of the decision soon.

[DavidMacDougall]

Yeah this article is BS im on Home every once and a while, there is not alot to do if your on it everyday tho. When EA add poker to it ill probably never be off it if its done right LOL

[Real Gambler]

They were always based on solid facts. Now this guy, Bakerboy, is writing stupid things like: "What do you think Sony gave up to push Home out in time " I would like him to tell us when Sony said Home would be released... Which date did they had to meet? On their official website, they still claim it will be in Beta for quite a few years. Most people agree that it's the type of project that will last forever. Sadly, they had to rush the beta out because everybody asked for it. But so what. For many PSN members, it will be fun to say they were there when there was only a few pool tables and bowling lanes. Everybody knows it takes time, but the concept is simply great. Tagging new things around is only a question of time... But never did Sony said that Home will be out by a certain date. This guy should relax and enjoy the view for a while. So what if we have to wait before we can show our movies on our little TV screens in Home. It's coming for sure. When is not really important.

[Blaze929]

scrap it? hell no

hurry up and get it out of "beta" phase and bring the promised material to warrant a reason to boot up home after the first time and keep it on your HDD? God yes

[TheDude2dot0]

Grah! That's the sound I make every time I see a stupid hiphopgamer article. Now people think I'm crazy because they hear me make that noise!

[BulletToothtony]

wow.. to me everything he says it's a bunch of gibberish, the day he states facts is the day that his news won't reach 100 degrees..

[MasFlowKiller]

I dont know about you guys but i cant wait to see the EA space cause it look amazing, but thatz just me

[CrazzyMan]

and who knows, how many millions they did during all this time since HOME release...

That would be just stupid, especially, when MANY game developers giving even MORE support for HOME.

HOME will become a better place, with time. Maybe after 1 year, maybe after 2, but definitely, there always will be people interested in it. =)

[40cal]

Hell no they should not. I am hella excited about the space EA has in the works, I think they said this spring?

[xabamo]

I don't know, I was bored at home instantly and didn't find anything to do. I see no reason to come back.

Before the darn thing was released, I had no clue what it really was and I still don't after using it. Sony better do something with it quick otherwise it is just going to stale. I for one do not care for Home, and rather have them put resource into things that matters or revamp Home quick!

[QuackPot]

Should have been an MMORPG that encourages socializing and chatting with other gamers as well as showing off your gaming achievements.

Oh, well. Better luck next time.

I'm looking forward to Free Realm but wished it had been reworked to become a 'Home' for the gaming community to socialize in.

[SL1M DADDY]

Yeah, Sony should scrap an idea that brought in 1 million dollars in sales of DLC for the first two months...

Sorry, but saying they should scrap Home is pure stupidity.

[acedoh]

SONY should scrap HOME as quickly as Hiphopgamer can create a story based on fact. HOME has already been a success for SONY and it's not even close to a finished product. This is something that is in it's infancy and I guarantee you what we see now will not even be close to what we see in a few years. There are reasons certain things are not available like sharing. What's important is that HOME well be getting major support over this year and will only improve. If you don't like it you don't have to be a part of it. You have a choice. It's not like 360 avatars or Nintendo Mii's.

[Lifendz]

I thought Home was "amazing" and was going to make me go "Oh my God" when I see what new rooms they're adding? /sarcasm.

[TheColbertinator]

Why should they? Its making money.

[SSCOOLCHEA]

Again and his rant ......Just stick to playing basketball games hiphoplamer ....This guy thinks he speaks for all non fan boys ....There are people who don't like getaway or 8 days and love the fact that sony did bring home for them ...There are people who enjoy home and if you don't like it go play nba live 2002

@jvillian....know what your talking about before you reply . You don't have to buy clothes and furniture . There is free stuff for you to equip yourself with . So you have a choice free clothes or some nice diesels clothes ..I can't believe people are still on that LIVE shlt ...Are you serious ? Most gamers just wants to hook up play online .

[Dimitri]

Fuking nowhere. There is nothing good in HOME apart from having your own house, and a possibility to create a HOT chick. Thats fuking it.
They promised a game launching and a party option at E3 2008, but its not fuking here LIKE THE MOTORSTORM: PR DLC !!!!

The DLC was supposed to come out after christmas and its like those HOME options which were forgotten.

[M337ING]

were these successes in the beginning?
steam - horrible up until 2006, now its loved by all pc gamers

XBOX LIVE - terrible lag, connectivity issues that lasted well into the Halo 2 era and only really started to disappear when the 360 launched

[GiantEnemyCrab]

As an Xbox gamer I would blame the P2P connections more than I would blame the service. Back when XBL started broadband penetration wasn't what it is now.
But the games that had dedicated servers have always worked great, lag free but I've always had good broadband for most of my XBL gaming.

[Kami]

Dude have you ever played over PSN?
If not then shut the f'ck up. The only games that have lag are the ones with two players or when a person has crappy connection. Other than that there is no lag in any game. and I DO play games online since launch without any problems with the exception of SF2Hd.

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Kami: I didn't even mention PSN in my reply. I was replying to the comment that XBL lags back to the original Xbox. I get lag on XBL even today but it's usually because someone has a bad ping time. But again, my response is directed at XBL during the time of the original Xbox.

Yes, I have played on PSN and I've had great connections but I've had lag on RFOM. From my experience both seem to be very capable of doing smooth online play.

[frayer]

That's like taking a condom off before you finish. Hydro1x, your dad feels the same shame...

[ThatCanadianGuy]

+Bubbles for one of the greatest burns i've ever read..

[Aclay]

"That's like taking a condom off before you finish. Hydro1x, your dad feels the same shame..."

LMAO!!!! Bubbles for the laugh!

On a more serious note, it would be silly for Sony to axe HOME when they've already poured so much money into it.

And plus, Sony's got TONS of 3rd party support for HOME. That new "Sports Complex" space that EA showed off a little while back that's coming soon actually looked like fun.

HOME is FREE to use, so I don't see why people are complaining.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

HipHopFlamer Strikes again

[fishd]

HHGS is on a roll today:D

http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...

[M337ING]

Ya, I havent seen this much rejection from the N4g community in a while..

[fire23]

I think most people completely misunderstand home. It is always pretty much packed when I log in to check on it, and also is making a decent profit for Sony now. I would call that a success.

[DrWan]

and it's in Beta, sorry hiphopgamer, i did't bother to read ur article. Ur title sucked.

Why would a company d/c something like that? Would you?

[SoonThai]

i usually like hiphopgamers articles and usually agree but this time i will have disagree. I admit i have not logged in as much but i was on today and there is still tons of people using home. they have special events which attracting so there not leaving home hanging. If they ever do put all the features they said they would, i can see home as a good portal to meet and launch games with friends.

[nurdeens]

also microsoft should make LIVE free but we all know thats never gona happen

[jvillan]

so its ok for sony to make money by charging for virtual chairs and tables, but its not ok for MS to charge for xbox live?

[GiantEnemyCrab]

You don't have to buy a chair and still get the Home experience. With XBL you don't have a choice if you want to game on XBL you have to pay.

I can see your point though people have trashed MS about charging for gamerpics/themes but now that Home is charging $5 for a chair it's not mentioned much.

[thebudgetgamer]

but its your money so do what you want. if live does it for you who the hell am i to argue

;)

[PotNoodle]

It is like this, i have no problems paying a service on live - but when you cannot get online play for free on any package, that is taking the p!ss.

You don't HAVE to pay for ANYTHING on PSN to actually use your games to how they were intended.

The fact PS3 and 360 games are the same price except you have to pay to play online on the 360 version is stupid, they should make the 360 games cheaper or make a package on live which is free, that lets you at least play online for free.

[Chubear]

uh? Sony doesn't force anyone to buy HOME DLC. How the hell can you compare DLC with charging for Live?

[Arnon]

"they should make the 360 games cheaper or make a package on live which is free, that lets you at least play online for free."

The only reason LIVE has the features it does is because people pay so Microsoft can use the income on it to pay for servers (things other than gaming servers) and exclusive content. Why do you think XBLA pumps out exclusive games every month? Or cross-party chat? Or 8-person party chat? etc.

[denied]

scrap HOME you gota nuts to do that.what they should be asking is for MS to scrap there system cuz is junk as hell.

[thebudgetgamer]

hiphopgamer are dumb?

[GiantEnemyCrab]

I don't know if I should laugh or feel sorry for you.

Insulting HHG by calling him dumb and not using proper grammar. (feel sorry)

Saying the XBOX is "junk as hell" when it's an excellent system and you are missing out. (laugh)

[lokiroo420]

Yours comments is fails!

[Theoneneo81]

Your English is Dumb perhaps if you actually learn to write a proper sentence people will take you seriously

[denied]

lol i think MS is a repoff to charge for ppl to play games.Yes it fair for SONY to ask for cash for a chair and other stuff because SONY said they where gona make how like e-bay were u can sell stuff too so they gota make cash now so then we can too.. please research before you open you mouth. Thank you

[thebudgetgamer]

and if i decide not to buy a chair that doesnt mean i cant play online. its called choice. if you want it buy it if not move on.

:)

[Snake Raiser]

maybe English is not his first language.

[thebudgetgamer]

good point bigg boss

:)

[jvillan]

I can hardly read your post, therefore I have no clue what you said. Also I didn't open my mouth since I'm typing on a keyboard. Too bad you are out of bubbles, so go ahead and log into your other account just to respond. What a lifeless loser.

[denied]

coolest thing any one could have ever done.its better than xbox avatar crap,what can they do?Home you can meet and make friends and lot more very soon..XBOTZ please shut up

[The gaming GOD]

Some of you people approving this article are the same ones that sat here and tried to say "HHG should be banned from N4G"

It's not fanboys that run N4G, it's hypocrites that run N4G

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Oh what have the natives turned on you HHG because you are being critical of Sony??? LOL! But they were just praising you in this article:

Halo Has Met It's Match, Killzone 2 Shocks The Industry
http://www.n4g.com/industry...

I don't want to hear sh*t from anyone talking about submitting flame articles when crap like this gets approved with no problems.

Top 5: Things that can go wrong with your Xbox 360

[thebudgetgamer]

i think home will shape up to be very nice. with ea and their sport complex comming soon i will be stuck playing poker and racing.then hopefuly more pubs will follow and create rooms of their own. thats just my oppinion

:)

edit: same for me crab i log in once and a while play chess or echochrome see what movie is in the theatre (btw the europe home theatre is way better then the american version) but yea it can be boring as hell most times and i tend to stay away from articles like this

[GiantEnemyCrab]

That's fine budgetgamer. I guess I was talking more about the reporters than the people commenting. If you disagree than fine but failing an article because you disagree is not right.

I agree with you that Home definately has a place and I can see Sony's vision. It's free to use and with all the upcoming additions I think it will gain more popularity. My only problem is it doesn't keep my attention for long but I do pop in at least once a week. As they add more this should be less of a problem. E3 is going to be very exciting this year now Home is in full swing. Hopefully they do something like they did at TGS on the Japan beta, recreating their booth and space at TGS inside Home.

[man0fsteel]

Author = bakerboy

[Ldubbz]

You guys are hella quick to turn on HHG...over Home of all things. Guess you just gotta love every single thing Sony does...except advertise of course.

Sorry, but Home SUCKS. The concept itself sucks, so there is nothing they could do to make it better.

Why would anyone want to walk around a virtual world filled with dudes is beyond me. Especially with no voice chat.

Should they scrap it? Probably not now at least. It would be admitting defeat far too early. But if the revenue stream doesnt look like it will help Sony recoup dev and operation costs, then it will surely get the ax.

And HHG brought up an excellent point...this type of thing is perfect for the Japan market. Thats probably where most of the revenue is coming from.

[BGDad]

Its up and running so why scrap it? Thats just stupid. I imagine if EA does that room and others follow it could wind up really cool.

[Sibs]

Yes, let's axe a million dollar project that took many man hours of programming and resources and eliminate the future for such a project to make a profit.

Yes, $1 million revenue in a month is definitely worth axing.

/sarcasm

[PotNoodle]

Scrap it when they're making money of it? Scrap it when publishers are starting to take advantage of it?

It is like the home integration with Street fighter 4 is actually pretty good, you know - with the unlock a trophy, unlock something in home, basically rewards for trophies!

I like the concept of home, i don't use it much because most of the good features i wanted are not in there or are not used much by devs.

I hope sony push this to developers to make more games work with Home's game launching etc

[n4gn4gn4gn4g]

Hiphopgamer should scrap Hiphopgamer.

[phantomshadow]

Lol.

[omodis420]

word.

edit: I like HHP he is like the Bill O'reily of gaming journamlism. Or maybe is Geraldo. Its just funny to read and watch. I don't think that many people will take his article seriously.

[Mogabu]

This HipHopGamer article is just ignorant to a few facts, namely that Home is making Sony money hand over fist on those clothes noone wants to buy (but others are) which will in turn lead to more money for them to make other games and such. It's also a huge hit with the less "hardcore" community, it's always packed when I check it out. The developers are also making good use of the space, it's barely been out and there's already been a few good additions and EA is coming soon with their sports complex thing.

[Diselage]

Agreed, But people keep approving and then people keep replying so he just gets more money to keep doing what he's doing.

[grantps3]

yeah i think its cool, but i dont know if it was worth all the crying from the 8 days cancelation

[NateNater]

Asking Sony to scrap Home is like asking Sony to scrap its innovation. They have a lot prepared for Home in the future and it is still only in its beta stage. Sony have big plans for Home in the future and I'm sure that scrapping it has never even crossed thier mind.

[omodis420]

I'm not a big Home fan. I have used it maybe six times. I agree that at the moment it is kinda boring. But the idea of just scraping it after only 3 months of open beta is just moronic. Wow HHG sure found a winner in bakerboy. Give me a break.

[Chubear]

you not only read the article but commented on it too.

[Chaoticsoulx]

They are expanding it a lot next month, and they are making alot of money from it, why would they randomly decide to scrap it? it's the same as saying, they should scrap killzone 2, because it might not sell well... seriously.. let them have their time, it was just released.

[SWANN]

Someone needs to scrap the the guy who wrote this article.

[silvacrest]

i didnt even read the article but i will say this, last time i heard, home made sony $1 mil in micro transactions and im sure its gone up since then

its making sony money and its free for gamers to enjoy so why scrap it?
im guessing the haters want it gone for what ever reason...

[grantps3]

yeah

why the he11 would you scrap something that took millions to design and make, when it is just about to come out?

[krouse93]

Dude you need to hire some better authors man these guys are trashing your site and your reputation we all know home made over a million in the first week alone man come on read what your authors write dont just let them post this garbage Home is great and when the EA Sports lounge comes out its gonna get even better.

[Chubear]

Well when you get your own gamingsite you can show him how it's done. >.>

[Ken92JP]

um...no, they should'nt. I have made over 10 new friends thanks to Home.

[bobdog626]

Home should have been like a shopping mall for all PS1 and PS2 Game's. There are Rare PS Game's that None of us have seen in the US.Sony could have made some money if home was done right from the start.Sony should have took BC out from the start and made money off of home.

[Hectic_Kris]

No They Should Not

What a stupid name for a post ive only been on twice smashed someone at chess and mashed it up on the bowling not much to it but it's defnitly got potential and they won't and definitly should not "SCRAP" It

[HarukoHex]

atctually im enjoying home alot. its great when you find a friend on there because you actually talk and find out who they are, not just some total BS random request like i get on XBL alot.
-nai-

[Snoogins]

No, Home shouldn't be scrapped.

Home, for what it is, is impressive; a liaison to connect the PSN community with each other using mini-games to enhance the experience. Throughout development, this feature-barren application will be improved with video and audio streaming, as well as photo support (picture frames) and robust game launching options, not to mention other features yet to be announced. As the saying goes: "Rome wasn't built in a day." so can it be said about Home, and this application will continue to grow even into the PS4 and beyond, which is good for Sony as a generator of income (help keep PSN free) as well as offer us gamers a solid community and gaming tool.

I, as many of you, wish for more functionality to enhance the Home experience, such as integrating a virtual PSN Store, Trophy Room, and that Home and the XMB share functionality (including much-requested cross-game invites/launching, etc.). However, we must be patient, let things grow one step at a time.

[Miraak82]

NO way !!! I was playing SF4 yesterday and I saw a message that said "new shirt unlocked for home" I was like holy sh!t cool, then it gave my incentive to walk around and try it on . while I was walking around I saw more people with that shirt on and had a formed little social circle, hopefully more games support home like capcom is doing

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

for the service provided on the PS4, it's Sony dipping their toes and testing the water for what truely will become their online gaming interface. I don't see anything wrong with that, EXCEPT we were always told we'd be getting HOME... and NOT... HOME BETA!

other than that I just believe it's a test run of what truely is the face of Sony's online interface!

[Snoogins]

I fully agree. Home is a test run and a "trojan horse" for more services, using the community as guinnea pigs and free Quality-Assurance. Personally, I don't expect Home to be as fruitful as people were expecting it to be for at least a year, and will help the PSN become a more unified experience much like XBL.

[jack_burt0n]

Come on N4G only takes seconds to post some stuff in HTML declaring the death of hip hop gamer lets see how hot it gets.

[DNAgent]

"The video promised the ability to share music, pictures, and videos that the users had stored on their hard drives with other members of home.:

The video didn't PROMISE anything. It just showed what Home was capable of doing. Also, it's funny how he thinks they should just scrap Home rather than working to improve it. Not to mention that it's still in beta.

EDIT: Just realized the site was hiphopgamershow. lmao. I should've figured that out ahead of time after seeing how stupid this article is.

[Chubear]

scrap a revenue that's bringing in millions even at it's beta stage? who would be daft enough to do that? *looks straight at columnist's name* oh my bad.

[Death]

An open beta that generates revenue...

The beta label is being used as an excuse to launch a product that is far less then what was promised. Home is updatable, but that does not mean it falls under the category of beta. I do not remember ever seeing another beta that had a working business model behind it.

If you enjoy Home, that's great. I'm not sure I would expect too much more from it though.

-Death

[mastiffchild]

I dunno why you'd say you don't expect too much more from it. The EA space alone will nearlyt double what you can do there and there's more 3rd party spaces to come.

The features are what will dictate how much people actually use it beyond meeting and when you can do better things while waiting for mates before launching directly from Home it'll have much more of a real purp[ose.

I agree that making money while you develop is a curious position but people were clamouring for a service that plainly was gonna take longer to have all the things Sony want to incorporate and til they're all there is there much point in slating the place? Added to this if it's making money then it ISN'T taking funds away from what Sony can spend on R&D with their studios both first and second party, is it?

[Ldubbz]

You cant really call something a beta if its generating revenue. I too believe its just an excuse for launching it with far less features.

I mean, really ask yourself, what would take them so long? If its been in dev this long, and this is Sony here, not even a 1st party, then what gives?

[OhMyGandhi]

people say "it's a good time killer".
That's the second time today I've heard that.
I have a 360 and ps3 and still think that XBL has the best interface.
Mostly because it's there when you turn the console on.
Wham bam! there ya go. A nice visual treat with things to see and do.
PSN'S home feels too "I'm an application, and all real joy and usefulness in gone when you exit this program".
I think it'd be much more cool if you were able to load up your ps3 (and if you have an existing internet connection of course) just pop up in your home.
from THERE, you can check out your trophies and such.

That way, everything feels much more connected, and the ideas that Sony has can come full circle.

[Covenant]

Don't scrap it yet...try to fix it first. Add a LOT more content, offer some freebies, get more companies on board. It's not so hopelessly broken that it can't be fixed.

But if that doesn't work, THEN scrap it.

[Knightofelemia]

I want to see the Resistance 2 room the promised and i hope Killzone 2 has a room. As for Home being scrapped i think thats a chuckle its a great place to relax.

[-EvoAnubis-]

This tool is acting like doing things with Home is preventing them from upgrading the FW, and that's two different teams in two entirely different countries. This guy needs to think, then speak.

[KarIostomy]

AMEN!

[Marty8370]

Then Microsoft should axe the crappy, 360, Zune, Windows Vista OS, Internet Explorer.

[NOOBSTATION 3]

you are writing on which OS to us? aahh, one from MS.

disqualified little fanboy, disqualified.

[MaximusPrime]

i disagree with scrapping home.
too early to say whether its successful or not.

Many people are using home alot.

its like saying Microsoft should scrap its "avatar".

[Superduper09]

I disagree. Sony shouldn't scrap Home because I like visiting Home every now and then, especially when I am running out of games to play due to the fact that I have completed them all.

[bewrong666]

it's making money so why?

[mastiffchild]

It5's a daft article with no idea what the future(or even the present)of Home will be about.

Personally, I used to get frustrated with the few things on offer but with the EA space opening soon(which looks like being amazingly addictive with the graded poker tables where you can actually bet your virtual goodies)and other spaces in the pipeline it will only get both bigger and more interesting.

To be fair I now like the place since my "Sunday Hangover Chess Club For People Who No Longer Possess The Coordination for Video Games" got it's fifth and sixth members!(applications will require a reference!)

Thing is, when the things like proper game launching and all the third party spaces arrive it will be a completely different experience and as it's already turning over the cash it's inevitable that the thing will only gather pace very soon. Yeah, at the mo' it's limited but it's all raw potential right now(all fur coat and no knickers as my mum would say)full of promise but with nothing tangible to show yet most of us realise there's more to this than we've so far got to see.

[KingDragunov]

I'd rather have it than not have it.

[peeps]

I really don't have the time for home as it's of no interest to me but haven't Sony already made a large some of money just from people buying virtual clothing and furniature!

My point being i'll probably never use it but i don't see why Sony would scrap it if they're making money... I would however hope that they do still remember improvmenets to the rest of their service e.g. improving friends lists and so on. Only worry is that they will focus too much on home

[Marty8370]

Using a PS3.

[Arnon]

So you use your PS3 for browsing the internet more than gaming? Wow..

Computer browser > PS3 browser.

[Lesh0430]

You do realise HHG doesn't write most of the articles on his site recently? In fact HHG loves the idea of HOME. But any way I disagree, I think HOME is just fine though a few more games and stuff to do on there, whilst you socialise would make it better. Also more of what EA are coming out with from other companies would be great and I think if they add some of the features they spoke about like game-launching then more people may use it though that feature don't really bother me.

[Argento-Nox]

This article fails to see that home is something Sony is obviously setting us up for on the PS4. Home on the PS3 will help iron out the roadmap for the PS4, the same way xbox live paved way for the service on the 360. At the very least, home is free and it gives creative companies; 3rd party and others, the chance to do something unique for their titles. Why not wait until these companies put something out before being overly critical of home.

[Arnon]

"1 million dollars in sales of DLC for the first two months..."

That isn't that much.. and wasn't it like 3-4 months? When did HOME come out again?

I use it every once in a while, but I haven't made a purchase on it.. any money that goes towards my PS3 is for retail and digital download games

[Greedy Genius]

are blind, HHG ddnt write this article, baker boy did

[OhMyGandhi]

to be honest with you MaximusPrime,
microsoft really SHOULD scrap the avatar idea.

[gumgum99]

I'm still waiting for some reasons to go on. I still think its a good idea though(virtual E3 comes to mind).

[ZILLA]

i was in there this morning and it was mobbed.there are more and more gamers in HOME every single time i go in.and with EAs room,KILLZONE2,UT3,WAR HAWK rooms its gonna be NUTZ.PLAY B3YOND and leave the haters(xbots)behind!

[devilhunterx]

hiphopgamer should scrap his show

[ARog34]

... It'll start to open with mega features that we've been waiting for (game launch, and more gamerooms, hall of fame, objectives / object unlocks, displaying of pics, vids, and music for all who enter your HOME.)

All can sit back and play KZ2 or Gears 2...!

[Trebius]

Is it not?

[OldGamer]

Should they scrap it altogether? No, because there are obviously people who enjoy it.

But I do agree that after all the time and money spent on developing Home, it is a bit disappointing for what there actually is. And yes I know it's still in beta. I just think that Sony put too many eggs in one basket with Home and missed many other opportunities in the process.

On the other hand, it's just the beginning of Home and there's always room for improvement.
