Forget Toro - I want Totoro!!

It was already in the game, but has not been released for several reasons. File sizes could balloon like crazy (same thing for music files) and copyright violations will be more rampant than they already are.

This is new territory and Sony is being very careful. Don't blame MM for this - they've already nailed it, as this photo proves...

There are many titles I would consider downloading if they were considerably cheaper, and the industry gets to keep its money instead of seeing 70% of it (my guess) going to the used market which they don't see a dime of.

BUT, one factor most pundits seem to miss is that most ISPs are clamping down on high speed bandwidth which will prevent most people from taking advantage of many direct-to-home movie and game offerings. And that will only get worse as games start getting into the tens of GBs in size.

Ain't gonna happen...

Holy o Moly shake your head Sony! I've been dying to get into Home and would have laid down for an annual subscription if they had just said "must subscribe by "

To do this one day late is an incredibly unpopular move. I liked the one Qore episode I downloaded and was going to get this one for sure. After this, I (and millions of others) will probably balk at ever buying one.

Makes you wonder if they really want Home and Qore to succeed...

To the arse who claims he returned it because it doesn't support 1080p? Wow - that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Glad you aren't part of the community anymore, and thanks for weeding yourself out.

Want to hear something that will have you running for the hills, my friend? COD4 was not even 720p, more like 560p but they use clever techniques to make it the buttery smooth experience that it is.

As for this review, was this written in the middle of a bi-polar relapse? Lavish praise followed by harsh criticism, followed by more... Dude, the reason you don't always get a max jump when holding down X is because this is a physics sandbox environment. If you're on an upslope, or standing on a softer surface (or a ledge) you won't get that far. Try running and jumping from a rubber surface (with the extra traction it provides) or from metal or stone. Duh...

And you list the 'lack of mouse support' as an annoyance? Did anyone ever promise such a feature? I happen to think the controller works very well in the Create mode. You can customize your character innumerous ways, but you want to be able to alter its appearance altogether - as if that is somehow different? You can't change its size or dimensions without redoing the whole collision detection engine - think about it. As for being unrecognizable, have you seen some of the full costumes they already have? Kratos? Nariko? the upcoming Disney characters?

And you 'have to believe' that there will be thousands of gamers out there who WILL devote ridiculous amounts of time to create awe-inspiring levels. And MM already have a full year of DLC lined up which will include new map packs, new textures, objects, and tools. Don't be surprised to see 'water' in a patch.

A reasonable review, but all over the map and at times too critical about non-issues that you just failed to appreciate...

Absolutely agree! That is a slick level with minimalist design but a real eye-grabber. Just like the title suggests - colourful...

STFU already you bunch of pantless whiners! Home is what it is - a cool alternative to the faceless XMB for meeting up with friends, or making new acquaintances.

I'd rather chill out on my marina balcony waiting for friends to arrive before launching a game (especially when it's a snowy -30 outside) than do it the traditional way.

And it will be fun to hook up 'virtually' with friends and family all over the globe (private spaces only, yeah yeah).

To all the wet blankets, please do not install Home when it comes out. You're the worst kind of house guests, and not at all welcome. Just play your games, and leave this original, FREE service to those who appreciate it...

Which is a moot point, since 99% of you pissy-pants moaners are xBot trolls just trying to stir things up. I'd have thought you'd be over the moon with your Wii-too avatars. What? Not so cool after all? lol...

Yes, this sucks ass 7 different ways. But get over it people. MM did everything they could to rectify this within hours. Sony was in a "damned if they do, damned if they don't" situation and decided to take the high road instead of risking what lay down lower.

I have SEVEN pre-orders for this game (fully paid) and would not, even for ONE second, consider cancelling them and missing out on the gaming experience of a generation.

For all of you who have, good riddance. You're not the types I would really want to share this wonderful, PEACEFUL world with...

In 10-14 days, all this will be forgotten...

KurtM and the other little, sad xbot fanboys - it really is hurting you isn't it? The best thing ever to hit the video games industry and you'll have no part of it. Sorry, and sod off.

You know the M$ fanboys are upset when they try to lower user ratings on certain sites, completely in opposition to the rave reviews LBP is getting worldwide, and the universal love from players all over. Truly pathetic.

Keep that in mind as you sift through the troll-posts below...

Got mine too!! Sent one request via gmail and I got the reply within an hour. Sent another via work e-mail a few minutes later and I haven't heard a peep.

I've tried every contest to date so I am finally stoked to be in this thing, even if it's only for a few days. Don't forget this latest build allows you to store your creations for launch day onwards so you won't lose any of your inspired creations...
