*** UPDATE ***

I got in. im downloading the home beta now. Ill let you all know how it is once ive messed around in it. im siked.

First Post
Is anyone wanting to try this out? Looks kind of like the Sims in HD. I just heard that they are setting up another closed beta for the US. might just be PS insiders and the media. im apart of the insider group and ill try to keep you guys posted.

anyone else heard of HOME ?

*** UPDATE ***

There is a new Theme to download in the PlayStation Store. It is the home beta theme. when you download this theme it enters you into a lottery of sorts, where people that have downloaded this theme will be entered in to win a spot on the closed beta of home the new social interaction thing coming you way to the ps3 soon (lol). so if you wish to try your luck download the theme.

Too bad they are NEVER going to release it! LOL. I heard by like summer of next year it MIGHT be ready. I look forward to it coming out, though. Should sell some PS3's, if it's all they say it is going to be.

Maybe ill get in the next beta and get a little taste of the very far off future...

Just curious, and seems to be a good thread for it. Now that Home is publicly available, what are peoples thoughts? Advent, considering you've been in there for a while, it would be especially cool to hear yours.

I personally thought it was way weak: I was quite shocked that, after all the time that was spent working on it, it was so very very limited.

Don't get me wrong, it has vast potential: cinema area? Could be used to show actual cinema films, where people pay for a virtual ticket via the playstation store. Trophy levels? Could give special powers to people that can be used to manipulate the environment/or give the avatar special actions.

But as it stands I found it small, cramped, veeerrrry slow (I never have figured out why PS3 download times are so much longer than Xbox 360 ones) and just limited. Ill wait for it to develop before returning -unless someone can tell me of something I have missed?

P.S. sorry if there is a more apt thread for this, feel free to move this to the appropriate location.
