I have to admit, i was skeptical, but this thing has a huge ammount of potential... i like the idea of scouting people to play multiplayer games with - it will help you weed out the wierdos lol. BUt, seriously, this sounds almost too real... wait.. there's an outside world where you can do that without the $999 price tag and the unnamed ammounts of cash spent fixing your health from hours of sitting down... this reminds me of the sims... and we all got bored of that eventually =P

I would have thought being able to connect with folks all over the world would have been the obvious step to take with Home. Wonder if it has something to do with the licensed content that you will be able to view in Home?

Sounds like they would need some crazy servers if everyone in the world wanted to go bowling at the same time... Might mean MMO Style servers are needed

That's what I thought, but only private spaces are region locked, content/commercial/advertising spaces are region free. Edit: Nevermind, apartments are open, it's everywhere else that's locked, I think? I dunno, I'm reading conflicting reports. Seems completely backwards and makes home a smeging waste of time/space/effort that should be going towards making the online multiplayer fucntionality of PS3 more unified and not a piece of shit. nspa Friday Jul 18 2008, 12:59 AM Maybe sony bit off more than they could chew with home...

Meet up with friends, then when you go bowling have it instanced. Edited by Demaar, Friday Jul 18 2008, 11:36 PM.
