[Time Lord]

..

[ATLRoAcH]

It won't let you click on anything.

[TheWickedOne]

Videos are working again now. Home really does look impressive. It may seem a little silly to me, but I'll probably be on it more then I think.

[NoUseMerc]

Yeah, sorry for the bug. I got the videos up and working now

[EZCheez]

That's got to be one of the best things I've seen about Home so far.

That's really going to come in handy. I'm getting too excited about this because even Home isn't a game, I'm going to be playing the hell out of it.

[Jinxstar]

I hope they have burnout integration. Almost have my Ultimate man. 99%. Need 40x stunt chain and 20x boost chain =P. Then me and you can tear up the streets again

[Dark-Angel09]

Nice! Can't wait. I'll be using Home non-stop.

[cr33ping_death]

damn it almost hurts watching these vids without a release date to ease the pain of waiting for my home sweet home :( a release date i need a release date

[PopEmUp]

Japan get their open beta on the 24th of March though

[Darkiewonder]

With a so called "Leaked" information, pfft yeah.

[winlonghorn]

Oh yeah, that would be great! Punish everyone for the stupidity of a few!! NOT!!!!!!!!!! Damn, I wish people would stop posting stuff like this! :( :( :(

[Premonition]

They moved up the date the beta was suppose to finished which was April now its May 15th, sony needs to stop pushing it back.

[Rice]

Home.. HOME.... home

[texism]

Home = Sixaxis

[gambare]

That means at least a Beta on the way or even the final product. Game integration with a virtual environment can extend the games beyond the multiplayer

[Zancruz]

I need it, Sony give me my home..........

[eagle21]

I am agreeing with everyone, WE ALL CAN'T WAIT!!! :)

[gambare]

Two great things:

-create a game and navigate list of created games without leaving one.

-phone friends (aka personal chat)

[Sevir04]

ingame XMB and everything is all coming with home while thats great, and all it's just sad that we have to wait so long, bring me my Home space already.

[Bolts]

1. Vizio is ghetto
2. The music is gay.
3. He's not doing anything interesting.

[TheMART]

The PS3 launched at the end of 2006

When will home arrive? (like out of any closed/public beta working functionality with ingame stuff etc.?)

Promissed for early 2007, for fall 2007 for early 2008...

End 2008?

2009? 2010? When the PS4 will be here???

[T_Tokyo2010]

Aren't you the same person who was crying that blu ray wasn't needed months ago. Sometimes you gotta ask yourself whats the point anymore. You can't single handedly take down a corporation worth billions of dollars like Sony, just as much as you can convert one PS3 fan to go out and buy a Xbox 360...if your quarrel is with Sony why not get out there and get your word across to some people who care, instead of the people who come on N4G. These people wouldn't care if you got sick and died tomorrow.

Well I know you wont provide a answer for this, but I just thought I'd try and ask any way. What's the Point?

[heyheyhey]

for you?

hmmmmmmm...... never

good day

[gambare]

is because they are awesome news, and the 360 got nothing to compete with them

[Blademask]

LoL. That section is dead.

[Wozzer]

Why is 'The Mart' allowed to comment in the Gamer Zone? - I got a 6 day ban from the Gamer Zone starting from today for asking that question! I was merely pointing out the fact that he was trying to start an argument and I got banned! Looks like 'The Mart' is either a biased Mod or he's giving homosexual favours to whoever runs this site. N4G is getting worse and worse!

[andysea]

i wish sony would just stand up and say home will be out on ...... date then it will stop all of this fake posting

[Infernus]

Home is a constant work in progress. It's not like a game where it goes Gold and then there's a release date.

What will probably happen (notice the 'probably' as no one knows for sure other than Sony) is that we'll get a public Beta in a month or so and when Home is completely stable online by patching it accordingly it will then be considered v1.0 but it'll still be updated, added to and improved over time.

It'll never be considered the final release.

We'll get more news in a few weeks I'm sure.

Patience is a virtue.

[Lifendz]

and I'm surprised it's getting so much negative press. Sony always gives us something new. Whether it be sixaxis, dvd standard to blu-ray standard, to free online, to Home.

[Harry190]

that's not so much bad press for
the actual content though.more
because of the delays.but we can wait,it has to come some day.

[hahahabutt]

what the hell am I going to do in a cyber world? It amazes me how people are so excitied for this. I think you guys are retarded, no offence... People like my cousin that will be on HOME all the time are people who have no life, with wives who are bound to cheat because there husbands are on stuff like this all day..lol I rather meet people the old fasion way and talk to them face to face, and actually get girlfriends in real life to get my real life fun on..lol Sorry for this long text but, HOME is for people with no life. I will try it like twice and thats it. Once again, how ever you try to flip it, HOME is for PEOPLE WITH NO LIFE. Unless your 18 and under, then you can be on it all day since you can't do anything until that age.

[Infernus]

"I think you guys are retarded, no offence..."

First of all, that doesn't make an ounce of sense, you can't just put no offence after an insult to make it all better lol.

Anyway, Home is not a game it's a 3D XMB. If you don't want to have fun in Home playing games with your mates then fine, you can just use the Home PSP and get straight into a game. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Home actually replaces the XMB completely, instead of turning on the PS3 and looking at the XMB you go into Home. Of course that should be an option.

"People like my cousin that will be on HOME all the time are people who have no life"

Yes I agree with that, as it means they have a PS3 with no games lol. You aren't supposed to be in Home all the time, just use it to meet up with your mates to setup matches. For example, you want to make a 6 person party for COD4 so you're all on the same team in a Hardcore Team Deathmatch, Home will let you do that.

Once again I repeat what I've been telling the uninformed, Home ISN'T a game.

[hahahabutt]

When I said retarts, it's not a insult. It's a problem with human beings that have a low capasity for learning. In this case I'm not insulting..lol

Second, My cousin must be the biggest Sony Fanboy on this earth. I repeat he had over 200+ PS1 games, which he traded in for the PS2, and again had over a 100+ titles for the PS2, Then he traded those games (not all but a lot) for his PS3 games. He also traded in games like fight night 3 which he had already had for his 360 but wanted the PS3 version, because it was for PS3. Now who does that?? a Fanboy..lol

Third, HOME is a waste to be honest. I can go into my Call of duty 4 right now and just join a game, And if I want my friends to join, I'll just private message them or invite them to a game. I see some of your points, but to be honest HOME is a waste and they could have done alot more to make PSN amazing (like future interface, and amazing content).

[thekingofMA]

your cousin cant be a huge ps3 fanboy if he has a 360-true ps3 fanboys are sony only, and think microsofts consoles are satan disguised as a box that can play halo-

[Ace-Jury]

@Mart

Your attempt to bring sony down is becoming nothing short of sad.

trust me, there is more to life than your pathetic crusade.

Home looks to be pretty cool and it kills you.....that makes me smile :-)

[socsca]

Omg what a waste of resources... Watching this crap pisses me of, they could have done some really cool stuff with the amount money, time and talent they've WASTED on home. Instead they decided lifeless dorks needed something to do in-between gaming. Whatever, just let me play awesome games with other people. Enjoy dorks, nevermind actual people and life in general, or real chess...

Hello disagree's, bye bubbles.

[gambare]

you say that because it's not on 360 right? if it were something designed for a virtual xbl you would be happy, but don't be sad, enjoy the last moments of the 360 peak.

[socsca]

So I guess anyone who doesn't love everything Sony plops out is a 360 fanboy? Dumbass retard, I love my ps3, that is why I am complaining about this crap.

Start talking the day you actually own a ps3, anyone that defensive about a system as great as the ps3 obviously does not have one. I think I hear your mom calling, its bed time kiddie, shhhhhhh.

[Ace-Jury]

It is a bit sad if people are using home for a subsitute for a real life but I think your generalising too much to say all users are lifeless dorks. sure there will be plenty but im sure many people can find a balance.

people might view you as a dork for for playing videogames and coming to a news for gamers website......are they right? Im sure you'll say otherwise.

and at least now the lifeless dorks now have something closer to a real life. (get on board mart!)

[socsca]

Yes, you are right of course, and I actually do consider myself a dork. A very handsome one, with a real life outside video games a games sites, but a dork nonetheless.. Haha.

But seeing a company waste resources on this pisses me off, so I attack those that produce the demand: lazy-ass lifeless dorks who can't be bothered to conduct a real life so they live through their computers. I'm outta bubbles and will after this so if anyone posts an angry reply: F*** off. Pzzz

[sheng long]

i can tell home will be a huge success just by judging how many haters are foaming at the mouth with jealousy and envy in here.

[Niclas]

Looks to cool to be true! .. and free.. :S you know what i mean ? lol

But seriously .. how the f*ck r they gonna have a seperate room for every 10mill PS3 owner out there, thats one hell of a virtua city they r gonna make i tell u .. and some bus rides to get to the stores, if you hapen to live outa town lol

[cleawrence]

(excuse me for my bad english)
When i read some ppl,it makes me laugh of laud.stup*** fanboys
here,some informations about what dev can do with home and interaction game.

For example with RFOM,you can enter a place to intercept communications between us forces and allies.you can also visit some new parts who are not on the final product RFOM.

Uncharted,you are allowed to visit stages and also to play a 2d version of uncharted,it's a mix between contra and out of the world...etc.

On warhawk,before the games,you can enter a room to do some strategies with help of 3D map and you can make some quotes on map so you'll a have a good plan battle...

So before baching,please check informations

[DJ]

Having both public and private slots when starting an online match is a Great idea, and hopefully that works with every title.

[power of 360]

to gambare xbox 360 is nowhere near its peak it will match ps3 for a wile then surpass it because of the ATI card in 360 vs the ps3s geforce 7800

[Harry190]

need to do something.what you say is just full of crap.seriously,
you should stay in the 360 section.oh,wait,there's nothing there
except news on crappy products,crappy customer care,good games that you can't play because it kills your machine and no big games till the end of the year.there's still xbox live,ain't there?so why continue with your biased comments against the ps3.go now,you might miss something.

[jinn]

isnt this plagiarizing The Sims?
