I heard both Sony and developers are making money out of Home, so I guess it's not a waste of resources just because you don't care...
Although, I don't care either, I am still confused who the large user base is, since it seems like no one on cares and think it's lame.

... the problem with Home is that while people are busy playing "Home", they're not playing games. Home isn't really set up for the "gamer"... it seems to be more a social space like myspace, facebook or any of those other time sucking networks.

Home "should" be useful for gamers. With games like MAG it works on 8 person squads... a large group of people should be able to gather in one spot in Home (without running into the "instances" problem) then this should be easily possible so that they can group up into 8 person squads and launch into the game. Right now this isn't possible. The clubhouses were a good idea but they should have worked on an unlimited number of members (though maybe a 32 or 64 person limit on entry). Home 'could' be useful for gamers... but right now, it simply isn't.

I'm going to defend Home a little for a second, since I'm waiting for my bread to toast and I don't think I've ever heard anything positive toward it from gamers.
I checked out Home when it was first open and it was a horrible waste of time. Especially for someone like me who gets on to game, I don't chat and there was nothing to do or see.

But lately, it's actually worthwhile.

The game homes have a couple good enough times. Like if I go around Infamous Home site, you can hear more about the game and the making of it straight from developers than you ever thought you'd know. Which I actually got into.
And over at Buzz, if you happen to like pop triva, they have a mini game with questions made by regular people at their website. It's an actual game of Buzz.

For everyone? No. But it is a nice little bonus when you consider that Home is free and can be completely skipped by simply not clicking to enter it. It's not forced on you like a 360 avatar.
And I now own Ghostbuster and Killzone homes and a Batcave (which was free with the Arkham game) to hang out in.
Is it a waste of money? Purely subjective. Some could say if you already have a handful of perfectly playable multiplayer games, then buying another is a waste of money.
And they would say that because they aren't gamers, so they see anything they aren't into as a waste of time.

It's ALL a waste of time. Anything we do after we have secured having food and shelter and (hopefully) a family, anything we do in our downtime is wasting time doing what we enjoy.
And for those that do enjoy these social things, the quality now isn't the same as it was a few months ago. I mean, heck, I cruised around and did a handful of mildly interesting things and I didn't socialize with anyone.
And yeah, I did like my Avatar dressed in a Burn Zombie Burn shirt I won for playing their free mini game and my zombie head along with werewolf feet. I wish I didn't and can't explain why because I'm not technically doing anything with it other than walking around, but I don't always need a reason for everything I do or to justify what I like. I just like it.

It's free! Enjoy it or not, it's pretty hard to argue Sony hasn't made huge strides for those who do partake and managed to put together things for people to check out when they are in there.

Toast is done. Gotta go eat breakfast. I'll shut up.
As my 360 motto just so happens to say (more to make fanboys angry than an actual opinion): LIVE free or go HOME.

why is home being advertised on dtoid? it sucks and is complete garbage.

10 year life cycle and Sony's already managed to screw up 3 years of it with useless crap like Home.

Bravo.

fuck this shit who the fuck cares about ps3 home?
if you are serious about ps3 home you should give up on getting laid... its like that game... uhhhhh second life?
second life is not even a game its a basically a social network for ppl who cant show their real face and have no friends... gee gee

good to see that nobody is raggin on edge magazine :)

If they made it 'Adult Only' you'd see a lot more people partaking.

Add fucking.

I play Home when I'm bored. It's fun to pass the time with Home.

Home was so hyped up and was meant to be the edge between PS3 and xbox but it failed.
