I do. I'm glad Sony didn't rush it. What do you think?

It is pretty crappy. Sony should have spent more time on it.

I don't like it right now , and that was one thing I was looking forward to since it was announced.

Also , waiting in line to do virtual stuff is *(&!(*&@)!**&)&#)^^.

I don't dislike it, but I was pretty disappointed.

Given the amount of time and effort they supposedly put into it, I was expecting a whole lot more content than there is.

I understand it still considered "beta", but compare the amount of content in Home versus some of the PS3 games that's been in developement less time! When I got done touring it last Thursday, I couldn't help but feel like I missed some door somewhere that led to the other %90 percent of the content I was expecting!

I am not impressed with Home whatsoever.

I think there was too much hype.

In the state that it's in today, yes and no.

The engine is impressive, and the potential for the future is incredible with the way they could incorporate more things to play with in Home. But right now, it's fairly dry and I'll wait until they start putting in more toys and such.

Pretty lame thus far.

It's utter crap. I was happy to reclaim those 3 gbs it allocated during the installation.

Maybe it'll be more worthwhile once they get more content in there (beyond the garbage that might be coming from Red Bull) but that could take months.

Wow, some people are just to hard to please. I love it. I've meet alot of cool people and the potential is amazing.

I'm just not into the whole online socializing aspect (I know--that's about 99.999% of what it is), but I suppose I was a little harsh. I do agree that there might be some potential, there.

Hopefully Home will actualize some great, fantastic alternate reality of mostly-wholesome people doing amazing things together but I can't escape the irksome thought that maybe Home will just turn into a huge commercial vehicle for globalized brand names.

At least Sony will make money off that.

It sukcs on, oh so many levels.
I'm not paying real money for a virtual sideboard.
Crappy games in the arcade, bowling is horrible and pool is equaly as bad.
It's full of *******s that talk utter crap and shout at you loudly if you don't move out of their way instantly.

I went to a friends house last night to watch Heath Ledger for all of his glory on Blu Ray. After that was done, I tested out Home for some god awful reason. Knowing very well I wasn't going to dig it, I tried it anyways. Who know's I thought I was going to hate Fable, and that turned out to be an all time favorite So I'm at this dudes apartment, which is empty. Ok whatevers, go outside, turns out I have to install the outside world into the ps3. I HAVE TO FU**ING INSTALL THE STUPID WORLD AGAIN!!! I thought it was done after the whole installation process from the getgo. So after that crap, I'm outside, which everybody is invisible in that predator kind of way. Ok, I let it slid since it's pretty damn hard to render everybody right away. So I shake my fist at various other chums and check out the theater. Guess what? I HAVE TO INSTALL THE FU**ING THEATER!!!!


........

Yeah, no. I couldn't chuck that control fast enough in frustration with that crap.

As of right now there isn't much worth doing there. Perhaps in time and various changes, I'll apreciate it more.

I own a 360, but when I first heard about the new PS3 Home deal I thought it was a cool idea, much better then the stupid Avatars we got, but after watching a video walkthrough/review of it... wow... that must be a total hassle to have to download EVERYTHING, I think I'll stick with my stupid Avatars over Dial Up Porn.

Their are a lot of annoying people on Home and I feel really bad for the women gamers who play home. Every second someone's always harassing 'em.

I liked schooling people in virtual chess. I'm glad that there's finally a decent free chess engine on the PS3. So far that was all I really liked in Home. I don't understand this "wait" and "hype" thing. I feel like it's exactly what I was expecting from what it was advertised to be. It never claimed it was going to be the Sims. It always said, "I'm going to be a free virtual environment where you can interact with other people for free." If that actually sounds like an enjoyable digital environment to you, that's great, but I never actually thought it was all that great of an idea. The only thing I see promising is if devs like Harmonix start adding content to it to promote their games. I'd really like to see what Harmonix would do or the peeps behind Metal Gear Solid, etc. But the default engine is of course very bland, it's a default engine, what do you expect.
