Very good news for Home :) haven't used it much since it came out, though the red bull space just released so i shall try it out.

Hopefully more companies follow in EAs footsteps.

i for one am glad to see advertising in home. If they're trailers or banners that you can view or not view as you please, and you can walk/job/dance past them, big effing deal. I dont know why so many people are anti advertising, as if on their way to school/work they dont see mcdonalds, carls jr, in n' out billboards everywhere.

In shot, advertising=another source or rev for sony...like any other electronics company, with more money they'll eventually sink more money into a higher quality service and new features...(at least this is my theory)

Cool, this is starting to go where I hoped Home would go: Adding "game launch" areas where you could meet and chat w/ other players and set up games.

I know not a lot of people enjoy Home, but if you can resist temptations of the Quincy, and not be an ass, it's kind of a fun way to add to your friend list.

I think playing Texas Hold'em with random strangers will be a lot of fun. Hopefully more publishers will follow behind EA. What would an EA Sims space include? Actually living the life of your avatars??

No doubt, but I mean it's not exactly like it isn't a feature I am looking forward to on PSN. It's not gonna see any system.

Huh? It's like Home is gaining momentum or something. Certainly they need those ad dollars.

if the experience is cool, i won't care about the ads at all. if the ads get in the way.. like say when you click on a link and instead of navigating to said link you get taken to an annoying ad page.. then i'd be less inclined to use it.

I knew Home was missing something. I guess that je ne sais quoi was Ronaldinho banners.

Viva Playstation Home!

Looks awesome. This is the potential of Home. Can't wait until more game sites show up.

me too. i honestly dont use Home all that much right now because this kind of stuff isn't there yet. if they have more spaces for specific games i like to play, i'll be all over that shit again. but right now, it seems like i've already done everything there is to do in Home.

Does Playstation Home's world support instancing? PA had mentioned rather critically that you often had to queue for long periods of time to play unimpressive mini games (which might lead to you getting virtually raped). So would EA's colosseum require waiting to play a few hands of poker?

And that top picture, that's pretty much what the lobby looks like on the west side of the 211 building on campus.

Cool... I just wish they had in game money that we could gamble to win stuff like clothes and houses.

I love how they boast getting to watch ads for their games as one of the "features".

Dude don't be so cynical. It's like adding little flowers every now and then to Death Valley. In the end its still a desert.

Boxing Ring: 1 on 1 avatar sparring.
Basketball Court: 3 on 3 half-court scrimmages.
Football Field: Potential drills competitions or even 5 on 5 two-hand touch.
Soccer pitch: Potential 1 on 1, Goalie Vs Striker games. If not a fitting 3-4 on 3-4 style match play.

From PSU.com

That is amazing omg there is no touching home this year. XBLA can't compete when it gets on point.
Good thing i own all the systems
