PlayStation Home receiving bevy of new features, customization options

Home sucks. Avatars are better.

Haha i still wont go

I got banned!

1:00PM PlayStation Home ... and here we go! According to House, Home has reached 7.5m global users, with 3.3 of them in Europe. House. Home. This is getting confusing.

The average user spends an hour in Home.


I like that this wasn't quantified with time.

It is probably an hour per lifetime.

Home to me is a huge let down. And it has the potential to be amazing! Right now there is just no reason to use Home. But when it was first announced it was actually a big selling point.
What Home should be is a virtual 3D blog. Blogs are very popular on the internet.. we're on a blog right now... But imagine if each persons personal space was like there own blog where they posted their stats/trophies and personal media. Even like a 3D facebook or myspace! Now that would be HUGE.
As it is, my room in Home is empty and i have no reason to use it... But here is hoping that Home grows into something more!!

Oh and two side notes, i would much rather have shorter load times and better animation than hi-res graphics. Right now the animations and design seems very week and the load times are too long...

I don't visit Home often, but it really needs the moonwalk!

Glad to hear that. I had not been to Home in a few months and came back last weekend. I was impressed to see how much it has grown in that time. It finally looks like what was originally envisioned. The theater with its multiple screening rooms looks great, the presentation space is very good (with the Fat Princess mini game and theme nicely added), and the Buzz space is just hilarious to go into. Had a blast. And the Infamous space was fantastic.Finally the Mall is almost full of stores to go into.

I missed the ARG last time so I am waiting for the next one.

Home is finally the space it was meant to be. Glad to hear it keeps growing.

I hate Home. Still have to wait for bowling lanes, etc. I just want my games. FatPrincess, Flower, MGS4, R2, etc...maybe I'm just to old to be part of a community of strangers txting each other...

I think Home would be much better if it didn't require you to break out your credit card for any kind of customization. I haven't been on in a long time so they may have changed it since I last logged in, but I don't see why they can't have a home space that gives you points to spend on customization for watching advertisements. For example, watch a few ads in the Audi space, and get enough points to buy a table, or a hat or something. I don't really want to bother with it if all I have is a lame sofa, and a bubblemaker in my "Home", and I'm not spending my hard earned cash on virtual clothing when I don't buy regular clothing all that often.

they cant possibly add anything to home to make it worth booting up and starting. its really pointless and easy to overlook. every ps3 owner i know has gone on once if that and has hated it. ive gone on to troll for shits and giggles but gave it a fair chance beforehand never the less. its just an overglorified chat room, with a small dash of the sims thrown in for good measure

Still haven't installed it. This does not make it likely in the foreseeable future.

The shinking potion they were talking was in reference to a planned Alice In Wonderland space in Home (possibly to create fee advertising for the upcoming movie/game) and not as a customization option.

Yea home is a waste of time and its boring. Glad i uninstalled it :D. Its a thing for people that dont have real lifes and build one virtually ha

It takes sooooooo long for the overpriced clothing and stuff to load up. I've tried wading through to find any free stuff, but it just takes too long to see what they have.
Home is considerably more interesting than when it started, and I think it will be worthwhile in time, but the load times just kill me.

Avatars are better than Home at least on the 360, primarily because you see them right when you turn on your system and you see all your friends' Avatars when you go to the gaming zone................
