Yea, I bought all the clothes. For no other reason because they were each 50 cents. If they can keep adding content like FAST, this thing is going to be gangbusters. Are you able to load games directly from Home, or do you have to go to the XMB? What about watching video from your own Hard Drive and showing it for others?

Video sharing was one of the most talked-about features of Home when it was announced in 2007 -- not only because it would be awesome to go to someone's apartment and watch whatever movie they'd cued up, but because of the legal implications of such a feature that Sony was shrugging off.
While PlayStation Home director Jack Buser said the company was "looking into" adding the feature, he also said that Sony's approach to "user-generated content" was likely to be more of a "Lego-block" structure, in which Sony gives users the parts and lets them create what they want from a predetermined set of tools.
In other words, while Sony isn't saying whether video sharing will ever happen, it doesn't exactly sound like a system that provides for letting users stream videos off their PS3's hard drives.
Doesn't sound like it will be added any time soon.
Man that would be so gangbusters if they were able to figure out the "legal" issues and make it happen. Can have a The Office watch party with full on live commentary!

Any harddrive based multiplayer games like Warhawk will show up in your list of games to create online an party to launch directly into a game from Home. Everyone will jump directly into the game and then come right back to where they were in Home when they are done.
Disc based games will only show up when you have the disc for the game in the drive. Sony needs to update it so it lists every game you have even if you don't have the disc currently inserted.
There are about ten games right now that support Home launching. It is now a requirement that every game supports it. Not sure when older games will get patches.
When you walk around in Home if you have a game setup it shows under your avatar's name like 'Warhawk P/N' where P is the number of people you have in the party currently and N is the max. So if you see an online game you want to play you just ask that person to join inside of Home.
It is going to be killer for clans where you have your own clubhouse for everyone to meet at and launch into games directly from and return to. Hopefully they get the image and movie streaming working to go along with their Youtube APIs that allow developers to let you capture movies from your games and upload them. You would be able to have screenshots and movies from your clan games running up on the walls of your clanspace.
As far as content it looks like it is going to be coming out weekly. The Red Bull plane racing island is supposed to come out next week. And there are huge numbers of game developers that have Home Spaces coming out.
So far there already is the Uncharted, Far Cry 2, Siren(in Japan) Spaces. Warhawk has the incredibly cool warroom space that has been demoed complete with strategy maps for teams to use before launching into games.
EA has talked about how they are creating an entire gigantic sports pavilion for their games inside of Home.
Certainly all 20 or so of Sony's first party studios are coming out with Spaces for their games and studios. And all the major publishers have stated they have Home Spaces in the works.
It is incredibly easy to create a Home Space. All you need is standard art package like Maya where you can reuse existing game art from your company or create new material. You then just tag surfaces for images, video, doors etc. Stuff like games and other more involved features are more work. But it is very similar to the WWW model where Home Spaces are the same as web pages. A year from now Home is going to be enormous and constantly changing.
It is funny though seeing people trying to rip on Home with inane complaints about buying 50 cent items for your avatar or having to wait to play an in Home arcade game. A year from now they will funny to look back at.
They can make all the cool little game-specific rooms they want, hell they can make a Rock Band 2 room, but if there's nothing cool to do in there except play shitty arcade games and watch avatars dance, why go there?

Why? Because there will be worse stuff to worry about as they try to recoup more of the cost of developing and maintaining it by using rather inane fees because they can't charge for it?
Wow my predictions were actually accurate about Home?! Holy shit and they all called me a fanboy.
I thought it was a lame idea from the start, but I was banking on the possibility that there was some neat thing about it they weren't telling us.
Guess not.
Saddens me to say that 360 still has the best setup for online everything. Friends list, and your own little personal space, with a Gamerpic (of which you can get new ones! Offer us new ones, Sony), your motto, location, bio, etc. It's all there if you want to miss with it. It doesn't intrude if you don't want to. It's pretty much a perfect system.
Makes me wish Sony would just abandon Home and go for a more MySpace-type deal rather than an avatars-dancing-around-lady-avatars-type deal.
Also, are these rooms just open to anyone? Or are there really that many Uncharted owners on Home right now?
Ideally, rooms would be restricted to you unless you have save data on your PS3 from that particular game.
If GHWT and RB2 rooms go up, there will be havoc.
One of the ideas behind the themed rooms, is that someone who doesn't have the game will go bop around one and that will push them over the edge into buying the game.
Another problem with Home, that I'm amazed hasn't been corrected yet:
****o
Seriously.
What word is this? Seriously.

Mammary intercourse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Paizuri)
Mammary Intercourse.
Mammary intercourse describes a sex act, performed as foreplay or as non-penetrative sex, that involves the stimulation of the male penis by the female breasts. Commonly, this sex act involves the man placing his penis in the woman's cleavage and thrusting between her breasts, while the breasts are squeezed around the penis for additional stimulation. Mammary intercourse is sometimes combined with fellatio.[citation needed]
When mammary intercourse continues to the point of ejaculation, the semen can land on the breasts, face, or in the mouth of the woman. A slang term for the appearance of semen landing on the woman's upper chest, neck, or shoulders is a "pearl necklace".
Several slang terms refer to mammary intercourse, such as titfuck or titty fuck in the United States, as well as tit wank or French fuck in the United Kingdom.[1]

How is that supposed to work anyway? I know I'm not the average consumer, but seeing what is basically a smallish room filled with nice stuff isn't going to make me that much more interested in a game, especially if there are a bunch more rooms that are also filled with nice stuff.

In one of the "secret" rooms, there is an Uncharted trailer playing on a movie reel.
Also, it's all about atmosphere.
I think they would be neat places to hang out if there weren't 50 people crammed in each of the rooms all screaming about WATS THE CODE.
I do feel pretty much the same as the rest of you guys about Home. There really doesn't seem to be any reason to use it, however, I think that very well might be the reason I end up using it. There are a lot of times I sit around on the menu screens for my ps3 and 360 just sitting there not doing anything (other than wasting electricity I suppose) and with Home at least I can sit around in a pretty apartment or in the mall watching Pulse (which I actually kinda enjoyed watching while waiting for a game of chess to open up).
Sure it's not all that great and Micro transactions involving real money in this type of 'game' is plain silly, but I might end up using it more often than I might think.
Hello. Can anybody confirm is many religious words like Christmas are messed up?
Thank you. It fucking pisses me off and makes me feel like you're a pretentious piece of shit when someone assumes everyone will automatically know what you're referring to.

Many times I would have the PS3 XMB just sitting on my TV while I did something else.
Now I put my dude on his balcony and look out onto the pretty harbor as if it were some kind of screen saver.

It's relaxing.
Why not put on some music on the PS3?
Normally there will be music playing on my computer.

Still not seeing it as worth the investment though I am probably way overestimating how much it costs to make.
Are clubs still going to start requiring a monthly fee come March 2009?
You can forget about common chat channels for wider circles of friends - Clubs, in Home's world - too. You can probably forget about Clubs to be honest, since Sony is charging GBP 3.99 for the privilege of forming one. Not only that, but in the future - some time after 31st March 2009, according to the blurb - you'll be charged a monthly fee to keep your Club running. That's before you even consider the costs of setting up a club house and furnishing it with cool stuff.
So I got the date wrong. There will just be the initial cost of forming the club and then a monthly fee sometime after March. The whole thing seems counter productive to helping form communities.
As someone who doesn't even own a PS3 yet I don't understand a lot of the nerdrage.. the PS3 itself seemed to have taken some time to mature so maybe Home can as well?
I dunno from what I've seen, it seems to have a lot of potential. I guess I would get bent about it if I owned a PS3 and was looking forward to it for a long time.
and about the conversation of ads on XBL, they are not intrusive to me at all. I look at them for maybe a second and the only time I've even seen them is when I'm in the marketplace actually wanting to buy something anyway and I've seen a thing or two that I was interested in but didn't know about, even entered some contests and downloaded free stuff because of them.

Ads are fine by me. Sometimes they're actually informative, which is good.
The difference, however, is that Xbox 360 doesn't want you to go into a little Second Life-type thing that is essentially a giant ad.

That makes a whole lot of sense? How does Home affect you selling your favorite game? That’s like saying... Uncharted is my favorite game, but it's home web page fails, so I must sell it! At least that’s how your comment came off, correct me if I'm wrong.
