    Home has its issues, no doubt, but I love it.


    I've been logging into Home for several months now, since before the open beta. I have seen it go through many changes--not all good, some downright terrible--but it has become more stable and, in tiny increments, is expanding its repertoire of services.


    I launch Home 5-10 times per week for sessions that last anywhere from 30 minutes to 2, even 3, hours. And here's the kicker: Exclusively from Home, I have met and talked to many, many people, most just acquaintances, but some of whom I would now call friends (indeed, not unlike some of my Gizmodo friendships).


    Are these people I'm ever likely to meet in person? For the most part, probably not. But that is the beauty of Home, its ability to foster a social experience in a global virtual world. I know Gizmodo is all down on Home. However, you get out of it only what you put into it. Anyone who naysays Home (are you listening, Giz?) just doesn't know how to "play" it. Yeah, consider that a challenge.

    Average time to install updates to PlayStation Home: 54 minutes.

    Average time spent in the PlayStation Home virtual world: 1 minute.


    And, frankly, that 1 minute is a minute too long.

    I was checking out the updates last night...I spent over an hour in there looking at the new RE5 area, decorating my studio apartment with my wife (I let her choose where to put stuff) I like it...used game launching for the first time...it has come a LONG way from the closed beta.

    Welcome to the new Sony Piece of Shit that Doesn't do what it is Fucking Supposed To!


    And, why would I want a PSP to integrate into my home? Oh, you mean PS Home. Where guys harass anything in a female avatar and miniskirt. Well, female avatar anyway...

    Good that you caught and corrected your redundancy there. As a frequent Home "player" myself, I can verify that it is true, miniskirts can only be worn by the female avatars, male avatars simply can't put them on.


    I mean...that is to say...err, not that *I* would know of course, *hehehe* No, no, no, pants only for me, no attempts at donning a skirt, nope, never. Pants only. GO, PANTS!!!

    In reply to PS Home Hacked, But the Door Was Wide Open
    THAT'S NOT THE CURRENT HOME!! I don't know what home he's using, probably one of the older betas. So this is just some typical fine piece of reporting there, giz. Don't verify it, just slap it up there. I was laughing so hard last night on home, 4 guys (probably) dressed up as fat pudgy chicks with bright pink makeup on thier cheeks and miniskirts, were running around harrassing the guys! Hilarious. Other then that, seemed like more of the usual that i've seen, lots of people saying "gg", playing pool and bowling, and I think they just added 3 chess boards in the mall, or did I just not notice them before? Looks like you can win new clothing by winning at some of the arcade games also, someone was walking around in a ice breaker t-shirt.

    FYI, let's play a round of " look at the numbers", shall we?
    Xbox360, released Nov 22, 2005, has sold 24.86 m units, thats 8.27m per year. PS3, released Nov 17, 2006, has sold 17.88 m units, that's 8.94m units per year. Wait a minute, you mean to say PS3 HAS SOLD 8% MORE PER YEAR THAN XBOX360! Think will ever see that fact in a headline here, or anywhere? Why not? Hello, anyone there?

    It's Beta - meaning that nothing is supposed to work. Also, it's Sony - meaning that everything is supposed to be radically overhyped.
