Peter Moore tells Eurogamer he wishes Sony's Home service would just ship already. The former Xbox exec turned EA Sports president says he's interested in working with Home, but he's "disappointed" that it keeps getting pushed back.
Moore expresses that he really wants Home to become the portal to the PlayStation Network and something that EA Sports could utilize, but that nothing's going to happen until it's done. Moore's got plenty on his plate currently as he tries to reinvigorate the EA Sports division and launches a new sub-brand.

You go Pete. Get Kaz to release it sooner rather than later.

I think Moore should let Sony worry about 'Home'. He should be more worried about the same shit every year sports games EA puts out.

You don't need to have quality when you monopolize the licenses though.

Sure, let's rush it out the door. Just like you rushed the 360 out, hence RROD.

I wonder if he'll be even more disappointed once Home is actually released.
But Home does seem like an interesting idea. Console mover? Probably not.

So it's official, now *eleven* people still give a shit about home.
I'll admit, I was interested at one point...a year ago. Now? Not so much.

I noticed that while I got voted down, no one on here actually cares enough to make a comment that disagrees with me. Thanks for making my point for me.

Sorry, I guess most people don't need to justify voting 'Teh Mighty Sea Tuna' down to you. Get over yourself dude.
You proved a point, but not the one you were thinking about.

I didn't even mean in response to me personally. As of when I posted that, not one person on here made a positive comment about Home. There were some negative ones about Peter Moore, sure, but the two aren't mutually exclusive.

Because you dropped a lame turd in the thread.
What is there to say about Home? I'll judge it when it comes out. Must I be foaming at the mouth in anticipation for it to be a worthwhile addition? No. I'll wait and see. It's not something I really need or necessarily want very badly, but I am excited to see what it actually brings to the table. For free.
But if you would like to continue with your knee-jerk and sarcastic dismissal of something you haven't even touched yet, by all means, go ahead. Don't be surprised if your stupidity gets downvoted though.

It's okay John, let the feelings take you over. Surrender yourself to that warm fuzzy feeling inside. You know what that is, John? That's love John. And life in this crazy world is to short and too valuable to waste any time denying what one truly feels inside.

Yeah he seems like an ok guy.
Apparently he hasn't had a chance to play the Home beta though. Maybe he wouldn't want to see it released if he did.
Before the fanboys pitch a fit - I have been in the beta a long time now, so don't tell me how special Home is. My use of it trumps your blind fanaticism.

Don't get me wrong, he seems pretty chill. I'm just not a big fan of the companies he works for and some of their odd policies.
I'm sure he'll do good though... and prolly doesn't give a rat's ass about much, so long as he gets paid. Just like anyone else, really.

I thought my point was rather clear and not difficult to understand. I've been in plenty of closed betas myself. All I'm saying is Home is community based application. I've seen a lot of the complaints against Home from other beta testers and many, if not most, seem to be centered around the fact there's not many people to interact with. I think that's the downfall of the closed beta in a community based application.

Oh got ya Vid, yeah I'm a real idiot for not agreeing with you. What the hell is wrong with me?
I understood your point and disagreed with it. Home will have only so many people in each server, and when I am in a server using it there are other people there. You said my "impression of the beta may be somewhat flawed." I am saying that I know what my impression is through being the one to experience it - and my gripe is not that there are not enough users.
Thanks for the condescending response - much appreciated. Now I'm going back to preparing for a client's trial - so people who have a basis to disagree with me can have their time.

Why are you being such a jackass today? Anyway, you didn't seem to understand what I was saying:
"Oh, ok Vid, you got me there. I mean, how would I know what I am talking about from using it? Crazy talk on my part. I will withold my opinion until someone else uses it and says its great."
Where did I say it was crazy talk? Where did I suggest you should withhold your opinion? What does what you said have to do with anything I said at all? It has jack shit to do with what I said.
It's fucking laughable that you would call my respose condescending. Talk about being a hypocrite. I only responded that way because you were condescending toward my first response. HELLO?
And please note that I said "may" and "somewhat" in my initial response. I didn't say "is" and "completely". You didn't bother explaining anything so I was just going off what I've heard a lot of other beta testers compalin abaout. And I stick 100% by what I said. I don't think anyone can have a truly complete picture of a community based application until it's actually in the hands of the community. That seems rather obvious.

Well, im a little annoyed with some overly detailed crap I have to do at work today, but I don't think I am being a jackass really.
You said you think my view may be flawed. Thats an odd thing to think about someone's view when they are the one participating. I don't think my view is flawed. I think I am completely capable of forming a view without the need for others to influence it.
Think what you will about Home, but I too have my thoughts on it, which come from some experience with it.

Actually, NO, you didn't say that - at first. C'mon man, relax. Run the minutes back: Vid suggests that you may not be getting the best Home experience in your beta testing because there isn't a full public population yet. You lambast Vid for suggesting this, and act like no one should ever doubt a beta tester. Then in rebuttal you fess up that you're not enjoying it very much for the EXACT reason that Vid brought up.

ill trooper - I think you need to replay the record there. I did not say I wasn't enjoying it for the same reason he did.
I said that the number of users was not the issue. My quote you posted shows that.
You are stetching to try and catch me in something.

Are you trying to pull technicality BS with me by saying hes not the programmer. *rolls eyes again*
As head of EA games he could make those decision that would make the PS3 the lead development console and not give us a shoddy port. It's a well known fact that when this happens it means for a better game all around.

I personally can't tell the difference between 30 fps and 60 fps.

Ugh, the timing of Home's release has more impact on developers for PS3 than anyone else...especially if you're making online capable sports games that sell millions.
He doesn't want his games to be the guinea pigs, but instead he wants his key games to be the first GOOD adopters. It's about marketing, and marketing is about timing.
Did I really need to type this? Isn't it kinda obvious?

True, but quality control is also important, and we want the best quality from Home don't we?
Besides, on the topic of quality, this is EA we are talking about ¬_¬
