One of the posters over at PS3Forums put up images of their invitations to Playstation Home, and their subsequent journey into the system. We get to see quite a bit, from interacting with your PSP to viewing videos, to playing games.
I'm really digging the way that you view videos in the TV screens. It doesn't seem so utterly out of place like I'd figure it would be -- instead, it feels almost completely natural from a game perspective, and provides enough of a tease for me to go check out the videos on my own and download them to my non-existant PS3 (which I wish wasn't the case).
The game interface, from the one shot that we have, reminds me way too much of Wii Bowling. I do hope that they decide to change the interface for the game, since I'd hope they'd go with a less Nintendo-esque color scheme for their minigames.
So, check out the entire gallery and let us know what you think of Playstation Home so far!
[Thanks, Lila!]

Just seems like an overrated 3d chat room...
http://tinyurl.com/37c9c
I don't think it can surpass folding as a better game...
If you want to alert the internets about it.
"This game might look dumb to some, while looking great to others. But it is going to be the future of video games where we all use one online universe to connect to other games, like how half-life uses steam, but in 3D."
Home isn't going to be the future of video games we all use, it's just going to be the PS3's answer to Mii's and achievements, and not even done that well.
The fact you think Steam is the future of video games shows how simple you really are. Steam has some good ideas but it couldn't have been executed more poorly.
P.S. If you think Home isn't a million times better then Miis then you're retarded or shouldn't be online without your parents.
P.P.S. Who cares it's Free and you don't even need to use it. Go back to bitching about blu-ray, at least those complaints have SOME basis.
Same goes for playing mulitplayer games, id much rather have my mate in the same room so i can call him a 'prick' when he scores a cheap goal past me!!You all need to get some real human friends, you cheap online bitch's.
We're all walking around, taking extra time to select our games instead of using a menu, waiting for whatever ungodly selection of facial features XxKillahNiggaxX selected for this avatar, watching Sony advertisements, playing small gimmicky minigames, all the while being asked "a/s/l" by a bunch of people that are for some reason in between me and my games, my ads, and my small games designed to make sure I don't go blog about Home being an advertisement tool.
Why the hell?
It's a different approach, it's a unique approach (in the console space, don't even get started on the 'It's Secund Lyfe OMG!' sh*t), and best of all ... it's free. Ads aside, you pay nothing for the service and here's the kicker -- if you don't want to use it, you don't have to. You can still launch a game of Killzone 2 from that game's menu, so relax.
It's insane that the same community who went apesh*t over Miis and a God damned parade are so quick to jump on Sony about Home. If you're a bitter PS3 owner who just wanted a simpler, Xbox Live-style interface, then fine. That's understandable. But if you don't even own a PS3, or you never plan on installing Home if you do, then who cares?
Jesus Christ. I'm interested in Home and want to give it a shot. You're not. Great. Is it settled now? Can we move on?
That is all I wanted to hear...I have no interest in home other then features outside of some 3D 'crib', and as long as i can circumvent the 'lets play doll house' approach then I am fine with it...but admit it is a souped up virtual doll house.
;D
I can admit that it is, to some extent, and I'm fine with. I don't necessarily think a Virtual Doll house is a BAD thing. That would sell like hot cakes on the DS.
i love you nick -brutal- chester!!
Now that they are doing it I love how people still bitch..
I think it is a great option to have but you are not forced to use it for online.
Yes i see the achievement's rip off with trophies (i could care less about gamerscore) but then again the people that bitch how it is a copy are mostly the same that bitch there are none.
Now onto the Mii's. 3D avatars have been around for a while. Also, same thing, people bitch about it not there, then when it is there they bitch it's copying something...
I love all 3 systems, i kinda enjoy the Home Beta so far has some nice potential.
It just saddens me with blogs and well people in general the jadedness and biasness... but hey it doesn't surprise me cause people suck.
Welcome to the internets, please enjoy your stay.
I actually like the look of Home, and although I do not have a PS3 just yet, it did interest me a lot when I first saw, and made me want a PS3 just a little bit more.
I'm not gonna go run out and buy one just yet, but it is a good idea, provided furrys aren't allowed and the like.
All i know if that this takes off very well, and everyone is happy with it, expect a MS Live Home coming... cuz what M$ likes, they steal :)
Nick Brutal pwns all.
It's kinda like having a car that doesn't go very fast, and instead of boosting the performance, they put some flame decals on it.instead Sure, some people are going to love the look, but the problems with functionality still remain.
So did the mii's when i first saw them.
The best online thing is XBOX live.
Sony also needs to start working on some real games for that thing.
I have established the first home forum and all are welcome to join! We are having contests and more soon!
Thanks,
