That’s the only amusing sounding thing I’ve heard about Home so far. Maybe I’ll try it, after all.

Seriously, though, not interested. At all. Let’s integrate XMB instead. And backwards compatibility with PS2 games on all models. Those, to me personally, would serve as a more useful ways to expend resources.

When all is said and done, I’m sure I’ll log in and try it. But with very finite time for sitting around, I’d rather be gaming instead of virtual bowling. Or swimming. Rather be doing the real things, and reaping some of the real benefits.

With nothing to do, it’s probably not going 2 be a bad time filler.

Basically all comes down to the features, functionality and community of Home. If the only people we come accross are 13 yo kids that just wanna kick you in the nuts, and yell explitives, then spending time in Home will be much less inviiting.

However if it does actually provide a decent discovery mechanism to meet gamers with similar interests and engadge in intelligent interactions, then it could just be the hit Sony’s hoping for.

I’m not going to say that I’ve been ‘eagerly anticipating’ Home’s launch, per-se, however, I can assure you that I have moments where I look for a filler for gaming and other real life odds and ends. You know, something to browse through, keeps me occupied for awhile until I do something else, or go back to playing games. Sort of like how I came upon this article…actually. Not to mention that general human curiosity will bring people to a new thing, and with the presence of small games like bowling, pool etc… available w/in Home (*gasp* a detail!) it’s honestly not a stretch to believe that it will sport a fairly decent community that’ll only grow as Sony adds more and more. You have to admit, adding to Home, will undoubtedly be vastly easier than it’s creation.

Nor is Sony ‘new’ to gaming.
