Warhawk will reportedly allow up to eight players to meet in a "war room" prior to a match, mapping out strategies on "sand table" replicas of each level. Once they're ready to go, players can jump right into an online Warhawk match from the Home interface. A nice touch, indeed.
Resistance and Uncharted, meanwhile, will give Home users access to full unpopulated levels from the games, allowing players to casually walk through battlefields with their Home avatars. In addition to this killer feature, Resistance will allow players to explore unseen portions of the game, and locate radio transmissions that further explain the storyline. Uncharted will feature a Contra-style 2D shooter that launches from Home. Consider us floored. We can't wait to see these features in action.

At first I could have cared less about Home except for hoping for some type of acheivement system, but I'm more and more impressed with the direction of Home after every news break.
Assuming that it still includes some level of acheivements system I'm hyped. Good job Sony, and congrats to MS for having such a killer Live service (which I enjoy thoroughly also) so as to push Sony to create Home.

I'll be honest though, Home was one of the initial reasons I started wanting to get myself a PS3. Once the price drops again, I will be all over it like deep-fried snack foods on a stick at a state fair.
If you're a sick fuck who's really into furries, rape, and scatological fetishes, Second Life is a wonderful place. But for those of us who aren't sick bastards, Home looks pretty decent. Especially when it's free and we already have the system.
How many people expected that word to come up in the comment section of this article?
And that's not to mention that you need to own all these games as well before you get any of the extra functionality they just announced.
I doubt even you would buy a PS3 just for Home, Fidlious. :P
But seriously... if you want to lose faith in humanity, enter Second Life. Essentially it's a collection of people sooo deviant, they likely got banned from 4chan... The ambition of the program is a grand idea, but they released it on the internet where, believe it or not, child porn from Daz3D products have communities...
Occassionly I go in SL just to grief but even I, with the sole purpose of killing time by screwing with peoples elaborate unreality, can only take so much of that app.
Copa, so glad you still care about me. You do Itagaki-sama proud.
Marty, have you BEEN on the Internet? Because it sounds to me like you're living in the brochure from your ISP. The REAL Internet is loaded with activities such as being raped by Satan to give birth to a small demon, being raped by a unicorn to give birth to a baby unicorn, and being raped by Trees.
If you're a sick fuck who's really into furries, rape, and scatological fetishes, the Internet is a wonderful place. But for those of us who aren't sick bastards, BBS systems look pretty decent. Especially when it's free and we already have the system.
this is fantastic, and perfect timing since im getting really bored of the lackluster xbox live interface

Having said that these features sound sweet and hope that they are right when they say that this is just the tip of the iceberg
We'll see how this is when it turns out, but I don't see it being anything more than a brief distraction from something that is otherwise a complete waste of time.
The features for the games are nice, but I don't want to download Home to be able to play a mini game that was probably hidden/integrated into the game disc, but accessible only through Home.
All-in-all, those free roaming of maps are cool features of Home, but it's something that could have been integrated in-game or updated through patch.

That's a ridiculous comparison. One is a GAME and one is an INTERFACE. People prefer simple interfaces. Stardock has tried several "3D" skins and programs for a Windows PC desktop interface and none of them are very pleasurable to use.
