Well it's Canada, you could play hockey, make maple syrup, not take your gun to the mall, use monopoly money, hunt moose, or say "aboot", eh?
It's true what they say. Americans are ignorant.
Actually, they say "Americans are ignorant, eh?"
No they say, " Shut the FUCK up up you stupid YANK!" If it wasn't for Canada you'd all be fucking Nazis right now. ( who says you aren't....)
"you'd all be fucking Nazis right now."
I don't agree with their politics, but I guess I'd fuck a Nazi. Are these Nazi women hot?
I love metal gear solid!
Ever notice that the coolest people in these virtual words are the uncoolest in the real world?
I know what you mean, but those are those fools paying monthly fees for MMOs like WoW.
This is different. This is essentially free (excluding the cost of a PS3) and really open to anyone with the system.
waiownsyou:
Europe is getting picked by the most active users on Playstation Network and the biggest spenders on the Store.
So, seems like the less of a life you have the more likely you'll be picked for Home
Sony if you're reading this my PSN ID is Fade2blac and I'd like to Beta Home please!
/Already downloaded the Theme.
that's coooooool~~~
Bullshit... I have to spend bucket laods of money to be in on a YEAR overdue piece of software. I'm so jaded at this point when it comes to Home that I dont even want the POS to come out anymore...
Got an issue? Here's a tissue.
Nah. it's not compulsary, you can get a 360, and if it stays working long enough, you can try their half-asses CoverFlow/Mii rip-off thing, but be warned, they will ream you for more cash at every corner.
Sorry about that.. I was a little angry.. now if only I could find my wallet...
amazing. he mocks the ps3 and you low rank him . someone below him mocks the xbox and whaddya know? no low rank. hmm
@Pepsipoint
And you point out the obivous and get low ranked too. Ummm.
eh. low ranking here usually mean one has a life in the real world.
Notice pepsipoint has no low rank. Interesting
ah. the astute. notice my previous low ranking.
I didn't get a low ranking last time because I didn't mention sony, microsoft, or apple.
But if it makes you feel good. *tear* boo hoo me.
I was high ranked for the Nigel Powers quote, right? D:
Done! Thanks for the heads up
It looks like a good way to create very cool groups to game with!
That's niced. Shame it looks like Sony have decided the usual get stuffed UK attitude to all this. It's not on my PS Store themes section! Thanks again Sony.
That's because the UK has had the BETA since 2006. So stuff it, it's our turn to get into it. Bugger off!
In Soviet Russia, Sony picks you!
I imagine Playstation HOME will be as lonely as trying to find a girl on SkypeME
Bar = pick up women
PS3 = escape from women
But then again, I could be wrong! ;)
I picked up a local Hottie while playing GTA IV on my PS3. We teamed up in game and then she asked where i was from. When I told her, she was saying it was real cool to meet someone oline who lives in the same city. Gave her my facebook name and bam, three days later I NAILED HER! So um yeah the PS3 ROCKS, XBUCX SUCX and can get you laid.
Are we going to be able to integrate Duke Nukem Forever into Home?
Sony actually put up a beta application page for europe a few weeks ago for around a week, it was posted on the eu forums for anyone over the ages of 18 to sign up. It said on the sign up we'd get emailed telling us if we got in or not. So i'm guessing they'll go through all them applicants first email all them.
Sony has been running Home beta for over a year now...it's really really lackluster.
one correction Thomas, "most active users" is only one of the criteria that sony says they will use...
Other criteria could potentially include race, sex, age, credit history (you can't download from the PS store w/o a valid acct)
We dont know because Sony hasn't said...and in fairness this deserves the same level of speculation that your site gave to apples notorious (later disproved) iphone kill switch..n'est pas?

In Soviet Russia, you don't select Playatation Home Beta. Playstation Home Beta selects you.
Step 1: Actually own a PS3
Step 2: Actually care about PS Home
These two steps, Sony believes, will eliminate nearly all candidates, leaving them with a few dozen potential testers.
I used to be interested in Home, once I heard that quote from Tretton about "the disconnect of when Sony took Home out of the creative minds and put it the hands of business minds..." I decided it probably will end up being an excuse for massive advertising and for Sony to make truckloads of money.
Even if I did get in the beta, assuming not much has changed since the Tretton quote, I doubt I would be interested after an hour or so. I'm sure most people would agree.
What about for th UK?
