So, Home failed?

"The soul of the Ps3", "Sony's edge over Xbox live", "3D Myspace", etc etc, the big hope.

Now, shit, i don't see Home being mentioned anywhere, wtf is up with that, did people simply decided it was best to forget it even exists!?

So, what does it matter, either way?

I uninstalled it a couple weeks into the "beta."

I want to know if anyone here at the Bore plays around with it, and their thoughts on it, the community and etc.

Did anyone ever care except for a vocal minority of Sony fanboys?

You could positively not care less if anyone is using it. You just want another "lolz at Sony" idiot  fest. And your general prose comes across as very forced, by the way. No one actually speaks like that, let alone types like it. Act normal.

Home looked like it was going to be crap, and in the end, it was crap. Sounds like a great success to me.

Same here. It was a waste time and precious HDD space.

Did Home ever actually come out?  You knew it was in trouble when the wide release was still "beta".  I'm guessing home will never have a final non-beta release and Sony will just ignore its existence at some point.

I think you mistake excitement for what could have been rather than what is.

When the concept was first revealed, it had some interesting potential.  Not necessarily my kind of thing, but it may have been cool.

The problem is, they've failed to create a compelling virtual world.  Every segment of the world is small and divided by a loading screen, it takes too long for everything to load in, there is very little to do, and really no reason for doing any of it.  If you want people to inhabit your virtual world you've got to make something that those people would like to visit.  As it stands, it's a clunky, slow mess.  I think the idea (especially with all the video stuff) was simply too ambitious for its own good and they couldn't pull it off.

I think it's absolutely awful and useless.  The XMB is already nice looking and they should focus their efforts on further streamlining and speeding it up.

Unless you consider dozens of virtual characters giving each other virtual bj's as a success story then, yes, I consider home to be a failure.

1- No true. I'm curious.

2- Half of the reason sure, it's good times.

3- Don't act so bitter about my genius.

4- Acting normal on the Internet is so overrated, seriously, don't you have like...a life where you act normal? Why duplicate it?

It's odd how it just sort of sits there, isn't it? I never installed it, never wanted to install it, yet I can't remove the installer.

It could still be too early to tell. I haven't stepped in yet. I didn't really see the need yet though I'm sure at some point I'll check it out.

I only used it twice, technically.
The first time I used it when it came out, just to see what the fuss is about.
The second time I used it when I accidentally clicked on the Home icon while browsing the xmb.

The only people who gave a shit about it was for Wollan and other hardcore Sfags who always believed the latest major release would result in 360's sales grinding to a halt, ie, nobody important.

i think people need to learn the lesson at some point that when Sony are driving something software based that is non game, it's probably going to end up in a ditch.

Sony Vegas excluded, but that's because they bought the package in.

The XMB itself is pretty neat though, fast and smooth.

i believe the protocol now is to applaud the use of  "home spaces" rather than the concept itself.

Folder system (folders within folders in each category) and file viewer please. Other than that it's awesome.

the funny thing is that the psp finally got that  :lol

the one exciting thing about home was the potential of simple, game-themed games in the "home spaces" but those even turned out crappy.

Home can be redeemed if they killed it.  Some virus can spread and everyone would watch their avatars slowly die.  That or if Dead Rising Home was released where you could run around the areas killing others, who were infected by that virus.
