seconded.

Granted, I'm glad they clarified that this 'ambitious project' is expected to cover the PlayStation brand as a whole; but I'd still like to participate in the beta when possible.

Seeing as it's not a game, they can't really break it. Only way is if they charge for it which I don't think is likely

What I meant is name a SOE launch that did not have server issues, and huge game crashes (some lasting days). I am sure home will have its share of bugs, what erm since you said not a game, what program of this type has not had bugs.

And yes I am still mad that SWG go borked beyond imagination.

What MMO didn't have issues when it was first released? From my experience, LOTRO was the only one that had stable servers at launch.

Plus, I'm sure LucasArts had something to do with that SWG change, not so much SOE.

Kodros,

shush, you are making too much sense, don't you know that it is always Sony's fault? NEVER doubt that!

Clearly you have no clue what beta means.

burn

now that doesnt sound very sony :|

agreed

Yeah I think this app is gonna be a lot more of a disppointment than people realize. The whole 2nd life approach really does not work for those of us who jump on a console wanting to be in and out of the game fast.

Yet I have to say that I am glad this will be rolled out soon so that all the people who HAVEN'T touched it can stop telling the rest of us what a great thing it is and how its the next best thing to life itself. That part of living in a fantasy will soon be coming to an end.

Yet I have to say that I am glad this will be rolled out soon so that all the people who HAVEN'T touched it can stop telling the rest of us what a horrible thing it is and how its the next worst thing to death itself.

Yeah OK tough guy, I've been in the beta for a long time now - so thanks for your typical baseless comment.

Now you can have sex and play on the same machine!

BTW el serpiente, when that Beta first began, and there were no beta forums to use, I remember reading the SDF types and their posts in the Home forums where they were crying about how mean Sony was for not letting them in and rewarding their loyalty and how life was only worth living if they were in the Beta - because this was going to be the greatest thing in the history of gaming. Oh, and the attacks on those in the Beta were amazing - calling people names and giving threats over it. We are talking about a lot of people who flipped out.

I read that crap, and you can feel free to do some searching in those forums (and in GAP's as well). Maybe then you will come to these discussions with some actual knowledge of wtf people have said in anticipation of this thing. Don't jump on my comments when you are clueless. Its transparent as all hell.

Nato, unknot your panties.

'can stop telling the rest of us what a great thing it is and how its the next best thing to life itself'

Who here is even saying this? You have constructed a straw man NATO, to better showcase your pompous flubbering.

And since when was your opinion the definitive verdict on all things Home? Yeah, maybe you played in some beta a while ago, but who knows what that will be like compared to what they release to the public?

And here you are making me defend Home when, to be honest, I couldn't give two shits if Home even comes out or not. But I'll certainly try it out when it comes out (it IS free after all) and judge for myself. But in your self-importance you have already decided that everyone shouldn't like it at all. Please, try to get over yourself

Oh, and nice cat!

I just posted points about what I have observed people saying and doing, and you went into another one of your tirades calling me pompous and shit. Dude, you are an SDF slave who never speaks with knowledge because you can just speak from desire and bullshit. I don't care if you disagree with me, but don't start acting like you have a basis to do so. Thats the crap that I am talking about with Home and the comments about it around here.

You are, as always, making shit up and using blatant personal attacks to lay down a smoke screen. I didn't force you to defend Home - you just feel the need to on your own.

*burp*

Oh, excuse me.

Damn right! If it launches anything like Gmail, it will be awesome. I don't care how long it's in "open beta", just let me use the damn thing.

Yeah I finally switched my main e-mail account to gmail a while back.

Best. Email. Ever.

Gmail is insane! Faster and more robust than all other email services.

I also love their April Fool jokes, I actually believed the Gmail Custom Time one :(

I went from really liking gmail to loving gmail when I noticed the spam recipes in the ad bar when i was deleting spam.

Yes, that sounds about right.

Kind regards,

el serpiente

you guys realize that you dont have to sign your letters, i mean, your name is right there.

I know right, good point PojoM.

You've had in-game XMB on your Xbox? What kind of Xbox do you have man?!

Would you like a Gmail invite? I only have 610,321 left...it's very exclusive.

Isn't everything released now adays pretty much a beta?

I agree with shagi...holy fuck.

Why not? We're being teabagged by Sony on a daily basis. This is why these damn companies should announce shit 4 years before it's even close to done. Every F'n game I get excited about gets delayed. It's ridiculous! Don't announce shit until you've got it together, period.
At least thats my perfect world :)

Don't you remember all those cool features they announced like...um...movie trailers and, um, ads and stuff?! I also vaguely remember something about going "behind the scenes" in all of those games that I beat and sold like 6 months ago.

Seriously though, just release the damn thing and let it take on a life of its own. Chances are, the community'll come up with functionality that Sony never even dreamed of and probably do a reasonable job of moderating itself as well. (See: Wikipedia, 360 Achievement sites, PC mod community, etc.)

samfish,

In general, a regular game tend to take in average between 2 to 3 years to be developed...

Home was announced too soon, just like LBP, as their last resort...(aside from that, I don't think there was anything else that was that great on GDC07

Anyway, the way I see Home is more like..uh...have you seen the .Hack series? There are the main cities, and everyone can have their own houses and such, and from there they can teleport as a party to different maps, in this case, you can arrange meetings with your guild mates and then be sent instantaneously into the game as a party and so on, and if they implement things such as the ones announced for Resistance and Warhawk, than that would strengthen that idea even more...

Is Grand Theft Auto not enough for you?

Lol! That would be sweet! You catch the MTV Movie award? They did a crap load of NCFOM jokes. That was one of the best and funniest award shows Ive seen in a while. I didn't agree with most the winners though, but great show nonetheless.

Don't remind me, Chigurh was freaking scary!

That's cause the winners were picked by 13 year old girls (after seeing the show...i'm not joking anymore)

Seriously, johnny depp wins best comedy role for...pirates of the carribean over superbad and knocked up?
