It will eventually allow you to go straight from Home to Playstation Network titles.]]>Mar 12th 2007 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/Mar 12th 2007 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/Mar 12th 2007 12:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/Mar 12th 2007 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/Mar 12th 2007 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/For now, Fight Night 3 FTW!!!!]]>Mar 12th 2007 12:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/

As long as the average user isn't forced to use Home for all tasks (i.e. viewing your accomplishments and playing arcade games) and doesn't get micro-transactioned to death, I can't see how it can end up being a failure.]]>Mar 12th 2007 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/
No thanks. I'll keep my hopes up that Nintendo will work on their online service a bit to try and compete with XBox Live. My hope is for a "Friends" channel, that integrates with the home-button pause screen for instant-messaging when you pause the game. A few clicks of the Wii-remote, and you can invite your friend into a multiplayer-match, or send them a "No thanks! I'm busy!" message in reply. Now THAT would be awesome!]]>Mar 12th 2007 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/
Sorry about the multiple comments. I just have a lot to say this morning.]]>Mar 12th 2007 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/
Add in the fact that you can't even launch games for it (for now...) and it sounds less and less interesting the more I hear.]]>Mar 12th 2007 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/
As far as Home though, the idea seems interesting (and having it be free was a total must), but I don't see myself using this service much (unless a lot of my existing friends jump on the PS3 bandwagon as well). I'm not really a "MySpace" social, "let's be internet friends!" kind of person. You never know though, I used to love clan warfare in TFC (Team Fortress Classic, a HL1 mod based on the TF mod for Quake) back in the day.

Going even more off-topic I REALLY don't like the look of TF2 and am pissed that Valve took 5+ years to develop the game and they settled on a cel-shaded fuglyness that doesn't look like fun (I'll still buy the HL2 Orange box for the PS3 though). The thing I'm looking forward to the most about the PS3 and something that we all should be seeing very soon is a new firmware and hopefully some XMB improvements. Different color/photo backgrounds and such are nice additions but I better be able to disable auto-launching. I hate it when I turn on my PS3 and it goes into the last game or movie I was playing/watching (come on guys, even the PSP has this function). Speaking of which, are we ever going to be able to watch wmv or flv movies? It's not that I like the formats over mp4, but it's mostly what the internet uses these days. Make it happen, everyone know quality = Sorny! BTW, that was a tribute, not a spelling error, =p.

Again, it all comes down to execution. It will get old and obnoxious fast if it isn't user friendly and simple to use.]]>Mar 12th 2007 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/12/developer-faq-reveals-playstation-home-launch-schedule/
This is what Sony imagines Home to look like. People using proper names standing around chatting about gaming in full, articulate and grammatically correct sentences.

As opposed to a bunch of people running around attempting to hump each other, all dressed gansta or like slutty girls with names like xXxSNYPRL334xXx or mAsTaPlAyAFoLIF using aol'er shorthand that makes them sound like giberring idiots, while hurling racial epithets, dissing console and music choices, and calling each other "fags".

Its not a technical problem, its a human one. Although the limited size of the chat rooms, microtransactioned everything, inability to form parties and jump into games certainly doesn't help.

Is this the same Fight Night 3 that is better on the 360 in every way, and at half the cost?
