PlayStation Home is a huge part of Sony's upcoming strategy, codenamed Operation: Don't Go Bankrupt, and they seem to be taking a page from Nintendo's playbook to make it happen. While Microsoft's Live service is an anarchistic utopia filled with children exercising their birthright to call each other f**f***s and robot***a**es, Sony's Home service will censor such profanity in the name of appealing to Ma and Pa Middle-America.
Not only will you be forced to clean up that salty tongue of yours, but Sony doesn't want you using any other salty bits you might have, as they will be monitoring public spaces for inappropriate behavior. While this will definitely cut down on the spread of robo-VD, a large portion of their user-base is no doubt going to be upset by their inability to "do" that hot fifteen year-old girl, who is actually a frumpy fifteen year-old boy, who is actually a reasonably attractive thirty five year-old police officer. That's the sort of thing that America, and specifically America's Internet is built on, and anything else is just un-American! Sony, if we can't digitially fornicate, the terrorists have already won.

that is exactly how a gestapo works. pretty soon they will be rounding up all the wii60 owners and...
When I want to play a game online I want to get to the point not go to somebody's house if I wanted to do that I'd still be in the 16 and 32 bit eras.
wait, WHAT???
I can't say bad things???!!!
I thought you said this was HOME?!!!
Oh so true.
=P
This is okay: "Oh, fuck, I got sniped again!"
This is not: "FUCK FUCK FUCK *sucks saliva out of braces* FUCK FUCK FUCK PUSSY PUSSY MICHAEL JACKSON."

Well, atleast the guys over at Penny-arcade think it is
Thanx again.
you dont HAVE to use it, but yes its indeed a great idea not only for online gaming, but for an online community which is what it should be. the point of online is to bring people together, and what better way then a virtual community?
The article also mentions (and this is where the real news is, people!) that voice and text will be turned off for underage users. If Sony can cut down on 10-year-olds screaming into the microphone, then they've won me over.
I could be wrong though.
Just wait for the damn thing to be out, before dissing it ok?
sony fucking loses again.

Answer: they can't.
Sony will probably just use the same procedures in place for their MMO's: a tiny number of "Live" GM's who will spend most of their time responding to previous complaints. I wouldn't be surprised if the "Home" GM team IS Sony's MMO GM group. They must be short on work since WoW came out.... =)
