1 - And so it begins..
This is EXACLY how home will evolve over live... Nothing against live.. live does it's job well.

This is towards the people who hate on the ps3 who say... home sucks and what's the point of it!!

This is the point.. to socialize and expand horizons to have more fun with your console and friends!! To play even more games for FREE without even buying games!

That was awesome. I can't wait for that. If i knew nothing about the gaming industry, i'd say that's the kind of service you'd expect to have from a network you get charged $50 to use. It's on the free network you say? So what do you get on the $50 network? Avatars?...brilliant....(cough )......

Stuff like this will make people actually want to go into HOME. When I first saw this video, it really made me want to jump into HOME right away.

Once this releases, I have a feeling a lot more people that haven't downloaded HOME will be downloading it. This is just the beginning of the Evolution of HOME.

1.8 - This "Home" game is boring!
It will stay boring for all of eternity because despite the title "beta" it will not ever change and Sony will never add more content into Home!

I don't like talking to pedophile cowboys who want to invite me to their virtual apartment!

Barbie dolls! Second Life! Sausage fest! Glitches! Blah blah blah!

1.9 - On to a more serious note...
This has shut all the haters up.

From the very beginning, anyone with any logic knew this was the intended direction for Home. But of course, Rome was not built in a day, and neither is Home.

When the Home Open Beta came out, many people were saying it was pointless and will never amount to anything.

Then us people with logic countered with the argument that Home is a Beta and will constantly change over time. Guess what?

Ta-Da!!!!! ^_^

7 - Damn EA has been on a roll.................
This whole year they've been trying to get back into gamers hearts,

Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, and Burnout (and the PSN download),

EA has along way to go but damn there headed in the right direction

I second the props to EA notion. They have won me back. Sure NFS sucked but Dead Space Mirrors Edge and Burnout were great. I have been in the Home Beta since it's inception and that has only soured my view of Home to the extreme but I gotta say this is a solid start. If you guys think Home is bad now you should have seen it when it started. I think in one year we will see something close to the press conference videos. I think anyone who says Home has not future is a fool. Although right now it is thin.

12 - I'm going to hate myself for this.
EA DID SOMETHING RIGHT!. Ok, it's over, I said it. I like this Home space better than the ones for FC2 and U:DF. They were nice, but boring. Nothing to do other than chat. This way, you can meet new friends while doing something. It's a much appreciated step to where we want to be with Home. Now, give the avitars some life and emotion Sony.

OMG! PSN+HOME destroys xboxlive completely. Lets see the Mii ripoff achieve something this technically ground braking. Simply innovation at it's finest.

17 - I must admit
I did love the idea of Home, at first. But then when it was released, my enthusiasm kinda died down. But now seeing this, I can positively say all the defensive talk about it being in Beta (that many criticized) does prove itself justified. What I mean by that. Look at Home now compared to the Open beta release. They brought back the Red Bull Home space, Diesel Store, etc. Now look at what EA is doing. Now imagine all those other Third-Party support that was already announced to participate (Capcom, Konami, Namco Bandai, Sega, Tecmo, etc) doing similar spaces like EA.

Yeah, it may be slow to rise, but Home has a lot of potential. My opinion at this moment. If Sony continues this, and tweak some things (making the time between turning on the system and accessing Home more fluid, loading time, etc), Home will be a great success for Sony.
