What do you think of PlayStation Home?

I think what  playstation at home it is very good

I think what  playstation at home it is very good

Still some technical problems, I tried logging into the application - but it wouldn't get past the "Click Start to Continue" message.    We'll see if it works tomorrow!

Home has enormous potential.  As of the official launch of the open beta, it's only okay (not much to do at the moment), but you can easily see that this can become an expansive social network.  The possibilities are endless!

Funny that Sony seems to operate in this way.  When the PS3 was first launched it was the same thing...a really impressive console with not much to show it off.  Now the PS3 is really picking up steam and we're seeing really awesome games (just check out the trailer for Final Fantasy Versus XIII!).

I know that Home will be a huge success...just give it time!  :)

Boring.  Utterly boring.  Maybe they can chart an entire city that you can drive around.  There was nothing to really do.  I let my girlfriend try it out without telling her my opinion and within 10 minutes, I heard her turn it off and put the TV on.  She said the same thing I did.........There's nothing to do.  No point.  I'm sure they plan to make it a marketing paradise but I could find nothing of interest.  One big sausage fest with nothing to do.  If they sold machine guns that you could use, I would be mildly interested, but that would get boring after 15 minutes in this limted and small virtual environment.  Small and boring.  REALLY BORING!!!  People say it has potential but anything has potential.  Potential doesn't hold my interest -- at least in this case.  Needs to be bigger..way bigger.  Needs real games and unique content.  This virtual world stinks.  The real world is better.  The internet is better.  My iphone is better.  It's a platform that they have put very little on and these few things are of little value.  The platform has potential but big deal.  Platforms by themselves aren't interesting.  It's what you do with them and they've done nothing.

So it's Second Life without the sex (or, from the sound of it, the user-generated content), limited only to a single hardware platform and an overwhelmingly male population with execrable verbal skills.  Um, well, the "no sex" part will appeal to some (though not, apparently, the target audience).  This is better than SL how?

IF you thought it was boring now you should have seen it at the beginning of the closed beta. I was in the closed beta from the beginning and had fun finding the bugs in the program. The program is meant to be a place from people to meet up to be able to launch a game and play together. Unfortunately, that doesn't have much value to me since I dont play with the same people all the time. I only have a couple people in my friends list. I'm just not a very social person, thats why i play games instead of going out partying.

But just because Home is boring for me doesnt mean it wont be useful and fun for others. If you go into home expecting it to be some sort of game then you are going to be disappointed. It isnt a game, just simply a meeting place. I knew people would be disappointed with it because they were expecting too much from it.

The immaturity in home isn't new. Even though the closed beta was limited to those 18 or older the immaturity was still there. I even dressed as a woman avatar on occasion and just stood in the game area to watch the guys flock. I wound't even say anything. Once they find out yo are actually a guy they get pretty irate and some bleeped words come at ya pretty quick (though they werent bleeped in the closed beta).

Awesome.  Welll executed. Could turn out to be a killer-app and really increase PS3 sales.

HOME is a barren closed off functionless parking lot.. With guys dressing as girls for attention.

There is nothing going on there and is a waste of time.. Just use chat if you wan to talk , no need to load screen after screen of nothing...

I agree this has potential but potnetial won't keep people interested for long. As it stands now it is nothing more than a marketing tool for Sony. So far it has nothing to keep me interested in it. Mabye if they get their act together and start releasing content for it I'll bite but for now I'll stick to the xbox.

And yes given the maturity level of some of the people in Home they will find ways to find sex acts. Believe me I've already seen some of their efforts.

It's ridiculous how the guys act in home!!

i walked into the room to watch my brother mess around with it. And all i heard was "we bout to run a train?" over and over again from this one person. i was thinking, what the hell!

I look at the screen an all i saw was 8  dudes around 1 girl! I immediately fell out laughing!

If I wanted to walk around on an online avatar and talk with people, I'd do it on Second Life. When I go on my console I do it to play games, and socializing happens to be a side effect of that. I'll stick with where the games are: Xbox 360. Not that Home is bad, just late to the game and nothing mind-blowing.

My initial experience in Home was similar to strolling through an unsupervised playground for adolescents.  I wasn't surprised by this; in fact I was expecting it.  But so what?  In reality adults tend to find private places to talk and interact uninterrupted by children and adolescents.  And so what if people are rude.  You can always walk away while making a mental note not to interact with that avatar again.

I'm more worried that Sony will overreact and try to prohibit "immoral" behavior.  Besides the fact that immoral behavior is a ridiculous concept for an avatar, it would bring the worst part of real life squarely into Home: authoritarianism.  It's enough that Home provides for privacy, thank you. Everyone should look at the experience of living in Home as akin to that of reading a novel.  It's fiction.  Each person is controlling an avatar, a fictional character.  You should not demand an avatar to be real anymore than you would demand that a character in a novel be real.  Your only test should be the experience you get out of it.  That's why it's called a virtual world.

Instead of worrying about adolescent behavior, Sony should be putting their efforts into user content creation.  That's going to be its shining attribute, the ability of individuals to create and modify their own reality for themselves and others. It's that and the richness of bluetooth/text conversations with knowledgeable and creative individuals that will bring people in and make them want to stay.  If Sony keeps that vision then there's no limit to the ultimate heights that Home can achieve.
