i use it and so do 27 of my friends and we use it to play games and hang out . do the bowling and all the mini game they have .. looking foward to 1.5 thanks sony .
Who the hell are they? how fucking dumb are you IGN, any logic person would know their clearly gamers that bought a PS3, not those little fairy people you see that tell you to write crap like this to try get hits.
IGN I freaking use it morons, I go in there once in a while when they have new mini games to play. I hate IGN and wtf so this bs gets approved is being on me.
Some of them are probably duplicate accts trying to sucker guys out of games/content. I've seen countless guys (playing female) throw the lesbian flag just to get people to give them acct info for games.
Umm check the avatar that is my Home avatar. I go on every now and then to chat and bs at the end of the night its a graet way to meet new people and discuss gaming.
Why do you want to know? How would it affect you? Why would you care? If you found out, how would you be better off?
You, along with the pretentious snob who wrote this article, should actually grow up a bit and accept that Home is a worthy addition to online interaction.
I'm sure a lot of the people who bleat and whinge about Home have a Facebook page.. Hypocrites.
I just started back using home when they did that killzone 3 promotion.I thought it was pretty unique getting skill points for the game. Greg seem like he's not to fond of home though(listen to the podcasts). Greg has his mind made up about home regardless of all the great changes and improvements done in home.
You get a lot of simple, casual games in PlayStation Home that you would otherwise have to pay for. Next to Microsoft's game room it's an incredibly good offer.
Also: This article isn't negative to PlayStation Home, it just answers the question. "hell" was probably inserted in the title to get viewers though. So it sounds aggressive.
people are still put off of Home mainly because of the broken promises of it.
-No Trophy room
-No true game launching (what i mean by this is, some games take advantage of game launching, but most doesnt, it should of been required for all devs to use it who use multiplayer, like trophies.)
-you cant import your avatar to real games , some scream for it, like that price is right, or Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune, Heck even those move games, like Sports Champions.
-The Ability to use netflix or hulu within inside home so you can watch with friends in your homespace
-Live streaming of videos or in-game music from your xmb, like for example, using a home item, like a radio and playing your music there.
so why use Home? i understand why question it. it has lots of content and cool stuff, but the core stuff thats suppose to be there isnt.
Killzone 3 at Home was pretty cool and got people to use it, but after that, how much you wanna bet people deleted it or stopped using it after that event was done? i'd say many.
Home would of been the best place to go, in fact, I would put my money, that Home would be the first thing people do when they turn on their PS3s if they had all those things i just mentioned.
i use home from time to time, but everytime when i log in i just get dissapointed. not seeing these things i just mentioned makes me ask myself, why am i using this? the midway was fun, while it lasted and of course you had to pay for tickets for it, unless you payed the full price on allowing the user to play all the things that the midway had for life.
While I agree that it failed to deliver on a lot of its promises, people shouldn't judge it because of that. If you ask for cake and get pie, you might say that you didn't want pie, but at least you can't say the pie is terrible just because you wanted cake right? Same thing with Home.
The answer is: social gamers and journalists who aren't anti-Sony.
Just would like to take this time to point out that there's a scale model of a Macross/Robotech Valkyrie in the JP Home main plaza.
There is a F***ing Valkyrie in Home plaza.
This is the kind of stuff I wanted to see in Home. Virtual models of mechs and locations from games.
@Nitrowolf2:
Will likely never, ever happen because of licensing issues. In the EU either.
Gotta love Harmony Gold...with a baseball bat...
"Who the Hell Uses PlayStation Home?" LMAO that's what i want to know.
