What's the deal with this? It seems like a more graphical version of Second Life. What are they doing that is taking so long to come out.... ???

Unless you actually understand what goes into making something like Home work in terms of time and effort, you shouldn't jump to the conclusion that they're stalling or not working hard enough. Things get delayed...this isn't that outrageous. Jeez, it's a free service, it's not as if we've all been paying a subscription fee this whole time. Personally I could take it or leave it, but anyone with a PS3 can use it whenever they want. That's the point.

It will provide what something like Second Life or XBL does, and then some, with better visuals, for free. Remember the free part? You know how much out of Second Life and XBL you can get for free? Nothing useful at all.

I'd put "Too Human" in second place. It is about to release for the 360, but it was originally being developed for the PS1. That's right, P...S...ONE...

Yes ,yes ..the free part.

How about the missing part? or the ready for release by next gen consoles part?

Its kind of ironic to scoff at a service which is storming the console world as we speak and sing from a soapbox the wonders of some free service which hasn't even turned up yet.

Cog you are such an Xbox360 FANBOY ...or Fangirl ?...I dont know. In anycase I have nearly seen you in every PS3 thread slating the PS3 one way or another....Very...well lame to be honest.

I don't know that irony is the correct word, but besides that... who "scoffed" at XBL?
