"so NOBODY has paid for clothes on Home? Damn, Sony fucked up that one..."
I was in the closed beta and didn't even "buy" them for free. I could have gotten free clothes and a free house, but even giving it to me for free wasn't enough to make me care.
I will never, ever spend money on such things. It's complete bs that they are charging for things that should be free. The sad thing is that a lot people will spend their money on needless accessories.

Maybe the people on GiantBomb have not, but according to Sony they are making a lot of money from people buying virtual items in Home:
"According to Panico, Home items have provided Sony with more revenue during the first four days of release than the PlayStation 3 video service did in its first week. And though she didn't provide any numbers, she did reveal that the top grossing in-game item was the Santa Claus outfit. Expect to see even more costumes in the future, with a focus on branded items. "You can imagine the opportunity with costumes for partnering with other companies and their intellectual property," Panico explained.
"So far, no one has bought anything. Now what does that tell you Sony?"
It tells them that 10 or so users on a gaming website haven't bought anything, but according to sony (as brukaoru linked) plenty of people have been buying crap in Home. Are people still buying crap now? I don't know, but I don't really care because I feel that Home would still be useless if everything was free.
