Did You Buy Your PS3 Just For Home?

Home is an expansion to the PSN online offering for the Playstation 3. Currently slotted with a Spring 2008 release, there has been no concrete release date as of yet. Many PS3 owners are dying for and demanding information. On several boards you will find comments stating, "I bought my PS3 for Home and it hasn't been released yet. I hate you, Sony."

Was Home your inspiration for purchasing your PS3? Or were you like me, swayed by the other strengths and features that the PS3 brings to the party.

"I bought my PS3 for Home and it hasn't been released yet. I hate you, Sony."

That person is lying. Home is an incentive to invest in a ps3 but not a reason on its own

I didn't buy my ps3 for home but i do see the immense potential in it. I seriously doubt home will meet its spring release date and will prob end up releasing in fall. I understand why sony showed it early but sony london should be working harder to get this thing functioning and bug free

1.2 - Same boat as you

I didn't buy my PS3 for HOME, or any of the other features that came with it. Those were all just a nice useful bonus.

I got it for pretty much the same reason everyone else did: MGS4, FFXIII/VersusXIII, and God of War 3. Like always though, with every console I buy for one or two specific games, it ends up coming out with a sh1tload of other must-buy games.

1.4 - That guy's a retard

No one in their right mind would buy a PS3 for HOME. Buying a PS3 for Metal Gear Solid 4, GTA IV, Little Big Planet, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 just to name a few would make more sense

Sonarus is getting disagrees cause he said this guy was a lier just cause his personal opinion is "silly" or "no sense", and thats a complete fallacy.

I mean... i can say that i bought the PS3 cause i love its glossy black style and it combines with my kitchen, yey it looks great in the center of the table.

I can't imagine someone buying a $400 console for Home. It's a neat feature, but it's a bonus. You buy the PS3 for the games and the media capabilities. Home is an add-on to that, and sweetens the pot a little. That's all.

I know plenty of people that specifically bought their PS3's for Blu-Ray. Not all PS3 owners are gamers. The vast majority of them are, but not everyone.

True ...

I bought mine for both. I knew what games were coming to the PS3 when I made my decision but, BD also played a role in my decision.

Who the hell bought a PS3 for Home though? I want to smack that person if that person even exists. All the other crap is just fringe benefits.

I bought my PS3 for *games*, especially games like MGS4, Final Fantasy XIII, FFXIII Versus, Little Big Planet, Resistance 2, and other stuff coming in 2009 hopefully.

I would love to see Home, but I'm slowly starting to think that Sony is dragging their feet a little too slowly on this.

nobody get a PS3 only for Home, that would be gay. I got my PS3 for his potential, his long-life time and his games.
