    Eauboy, I have a question for you: If you signed onto Home and found your avatar horribly violated and abused, would you tell anyone?

    Sorry about the double but this just occurred to me:


    Three years of development and all they have to show for it is a long-delayed open beta.


    I hereby nominate PlayStation Home as FAIL of the Year based on Sony's attitude that having a static "Coming Soon" webpage up for 19 months and finally moving into the Open Beta stage after more than three years of broken promises is something worthy of celebration.


    For continuing the PlayStation 3's rich tradition of delays, I nominate PlayStation Home Beta for the FAILie.

    Does Sony want Home to become Second-Life-like, or is it just their version of Experience?

    @frigg: I think Sony is going for the Second Life experience.


    Crashes every weekend. Nothing to do but buy crap. Has about 40,000 people online at any given time. Loved only by Regina Lynn from Wired.

    Yay. Another firmware update for my PS3. Because I had so much fun spending 15 minutes last night waiting for the download and installation.

    Given what chatrooms are usually used for, the only way I can see this as being enjoyable is if "A/S/L" executes a hadouken.

    yay! the perpetuation of beta culture!


    why pay QA when you can force angry customers into wasting their time and money finding your bugs - and then duly ignoring them?

    @Eauboy: Why would you do that when you can buy or stream movies directly from the PSN already? Or do you not have a PS3 and this is juvenile flamebait?

    @SeattleTed: It also has the distinct advantage of illustrating a point.


    Netflix streaming on the XBox is not vaporware and is open to everyone to download.


    Home had a static "coming soon" graphic for a home page for 19 months. Can you imagine Gizmodo with a "Under Construction" logo at the top of the page for over a year and a half. It would be embarrassing.


    Home wasn't the only PS3-selling point plagued by delay. MGS4 was vaporware for months. Final Fantasy 13 still is vapor. And let's not forget the PlayStation 3 itself which had Spring 2006 until finally Sony pulled that in favor of November 2006.


    After a certain point, you have to wonder whether a late project should just become a late project. As in the late Home project, cancelled because of delays, poor publicity and cost overruns.

    I got invited to the Beta a couple of weeks ago. All you can do is go the Central Plaza, the Mall, a bowling alley, and a few other places. It kinda sucks actually. I got bored really quick. Maybe I'm missing the point???

    @cso1982: actually yes you are the purpose is to create a place where users can go and just chat or play some multiplayer games by getting gamers together that are gonna play then launching from within home instead of randomly getting into a server and hoping your friends load soon. It's also going to be a place where gamers can go to see trailers for new games or watch movies with friends in the theater. I am sure most of the content wasn't there cus it was a beta and a lot of the content is coming from 3rd parties.

    @lilaliendog: Can you choose where you want to start out.... or do you always start in your apt? Can you "teleport" to other locations...... or do you actually have to take the time to walk there? Can I invite friends to my apt and have them show up there..... or would they all have to walk there?
