I like the 3D representation. Why should that be negative?

I’m excited by home, the users (US!) will make it what it is, providing Sony put’s the building block in place, sure you could perform a lot of what home offers in the real world on the net but getting together with a few global friends in this environment, to me, seems awesome!

@Trieloth

You mean I should say it’s great because I am part of the beta?
That wouldn’t be very mature, would it?

I offered Sony tons of constructive criticism over the past few months.

It’s their job to handle my feedback in any way they like.
The overall opinion among beta testers will eventually become the overall opinion of all users.
It’s silly to assume beta testers are biased, when they have been selected to represent the overall market.

Thats funny people in the Home beta shouldn’t even have it. I can see why its taking so long.
Iam still excited about it.

For something like Home to succeed, it would take a lot of content, user-made like in 2nd life, of developper-made like in MMORPGs, but then that becomes more of a projecton its own than an interconnecting hub…
As a chat room, it’s way overblown.
I’ve really no idea what Sony’s aiming for with HOME.

What I would like to see is the use of my Home avatar in other games. I’d like to start Killzone 2 multiplayer and use my Home avatar as the base character to dress up in army fatigues.

I have been beta testing it for 1 year as well.
Once the novelty aspect wears off (2 hours), it’s hard to find reason to go back to it.

As an IM or chat interface, it’s way too heavy,
As a source of casual games, it’s overdone.
As a virtual world, it’s too empty, but looks and works much better than Second Life.

I would rather make all PS3 games Web 2.0-ready than invest any money in HOME.

I guess I am not the target for this offering.
