Read posts 5 and 8 in this thread: http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?board.id=ps3home&thread.id=527137 Don't simply moan about Home's current deficiencies here, though. It would be far more productive and beneficial for us all if everyone (who hasn't already) were to post their comments, opinions and suggestions regarding Home in the appropriate sections on either the US or Euro forums. That way, they can actually be read and acted upon by the people working on Home. Just like voting, if you don't have your say, you can't really complain about the outcome. US: http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board?board.id=ps3home UK: http://community.eu.playstation.com/playstationeu/board?board.id=b_EN_PS3_Home As for the lack of launching support for the games mentioned... you excuse CoD4 & 5 for being 3rd-party, but it should be noted that both LBP and Resistance 2 are also 3rd-party titles; Sony have a 3-game contract with Media Molecule, and Insomniac so far have chosen to work exclusively on Sony's platforms. However, both companies are still very much independent at this time. The original Motorstorm did work with game launching, but was 'broken' with a previous API update, apparently.

I was really hoping Home would finally deliver that. I just want it to be as easy to find, join and chat with friends across all games as it was with an XBOX in 2002.

What they need is a visionary like Steve Jobs over there, someone that puts himself in the shoes of the people that will be using the products. I think Ken Kutaragi tried to be that person but he was the wrong guy for the job. Sony is so arrogant about the way they do things and they don't seem to learn anything from their competitors. They can learn a lot from this generation. weatherman_ I think Henning’s assessment is spot on. and I attribute it to a lack of good leadership at Sony.

But that's a bit deceitful, I was wowed by their looks and had a positive effect on me buying the PS3, for example. But they are now nowhere to be found.. If Home has caused this fuss, I don't like home.

It is no fun at all. I hoped they would really come up with some nice community features... nothing! The clubhouses really sucks and the whole system feels very very clumsy. I don't like to say that, but M$oft is right when they laugh about HOME... it is just an embarassing example of wasting money. HOME is probalby the biggest mistake Sony ever made.

IMO it's not an issue of time or beta this beta that, it's one of priorities. They're just not spending their time on what should be priorities for Home. Before working on a store and clothes in home, they should have worked on the above, heck, probably even before they started work on the whole Home being 3D. I very much agree with Henning there.

They had to remove a lot of features when the beta went public. so I guess its just a matter of time before they put it back in ;-) Sure its a top priority..
