I may just hook up my ps3 to the internet tomorrow.

its been a lil rocky morning with the servers but home is now up im loging in for the first time now

well ive explored home the central plaza is brand new  the items price was in the store arent to bad furnuture items are 99 Cents Clothing items seem to be 49 cents.  and apartments seem to be about 4.99 so far i dont think that is to bad price wise

How big of a download was it, Nubious?

you are able to customize an apartment for free tho right? As in everone has something they can call home and bring people into without having to buy it. I'll be checking it out when I get home from work.

yeah you geta few items to arrange your self beta testers get a opurtunity to have the stuff transferd over to closed beta.

its about a 11 mb dl but it downlods each area to your hd baicly overall it takes 3 gigs of space but each earea you go into is dl and the bigest area you dl is 35mb i think it was  but once you dl the areas you dont have to dl them again till they change somethin with a future update.

a heads up servers are very spotty right now..

WTB - Stress tested servers plzkthnx.

Home was one of the few things about the PS3 that's interested me.  I hope it turns out as well the initially released details made it seem like it should.

well from what i have seen since i been on Home it is really a great service the arcade is fun  and i think now open is up stuff will get even better once they hammer these server issues but all the big ps games has had the server issues

Hurray, we're almost Home! =P

Well servers seem to be up and running  for me now  ive been on for about a hr or so just seting up my apratment etc

Well, I checked it out.  Wasn't really impressed, to be honest.

I think it has a lot of potential, but it kinda seems a little too Second Life-ish to me.  I thought the physical character customization was very well done...  but the selection of 'free' items to dress yourself in and decorate your apartment with is very seriously lacking.

Not only that, but the selection of available items to buy is horribly limited too (which I'm sure will change).

It's in beta, so I won't complain too much...  however, I have a very real problem with having to pay real money for items in a beta game.  For it being open beta, everything should be free....  since the game is in test mode.

I'd say that I was against paying money for virtual items, but...  *hides his Fan Faire jeans*

All in all...  it's neat and it has promise.  But as it stands right now, there's not enough variety, paying for a very limited variety of virtual items blows goats, and I got bored fairly quickly.

EDIT:  Oh, and one other thing...  what's up with the only free facial hair items being Chester the Molester moustaches?  Where's mah goat?!

yeah once more game rooms and more games suport game launching i think that will help right now warhawk is the only one i belive that does Thats where you can get a group of players and run a game right through home  and im sure sony will have some stuff when e3 comes around in june
