I have 40 gig PS3 and I got one of those a closed beta Home thingy when it started. I downloaded becuase I was interested and what not. And as soon as I logged in, I was very disappointed becuase I did not see a point. Maybe becuase I did not see many Home users during that time but still, I do not see a point of using that thing. Plus, since my hard drive was only 40 gig, I thought it was a big waste of space. I eventually bought 250 gig laptop hard drive and put it in to PS3 so I have more than enough space now.

So I have a couple of questions for all the Home users out there.
A. Why do you use Home?
B. Do the contents that Sony brings(Buzz or any other in-Home games) matter?

I know this is hella off topic. But I've always wondered, will any laptop HDD work on a PS3? And how do I put it 'in' the PS3?


To be on topic. I used it a couple times, then regreted doing so. It sucked. Hard.

they should, as long as it uses the eSata connections. I helped change a 320gb for my friends ps3 and it works fine. I hear even SSDs are okay on them. Try googling for a guide, its not that hard and I believe your warranty will be safe.

Same here. I just kept dancing with random people and spamming the preset chat messages. It just wasn't really my thing.

There's nothing to do in Home, it's boring.

Just has to be a 2.5 drive with a sata connection. And putting it in is easy way too easy, if you can use a screwdriver your set.

@Hitchenson: any 2.5 inch SATA laptop hard drive works. If you go to Best Buy or any kinds of those stores, you will find them. On the box it says "2.5 inch SATA." So just look at the box and choose the one that you think it will be perfect for you. i thought 250 gig was great. Since then, I have never worried about dleteting or installing new game data. Putting the hard drive is super easy too. All you need is a driver. If you google it, you will find it pretty easily.

I use it when I can get free stuff.  It seems like the Namco arcade stuff might be the first reasonable content since it appears that you can earn actual rewards.

After all the fun I had during that five minutes that made up my first visit, I decided that I was never going back there.

I used Home to pretend I was a girl and started hitting on guys.  I even got some phone numbers.  I then started telling everyone around me those phone numbers. 

The internet is fun!

I check it out now and then. I kind of agree with the general comment that it doesn't really have enough to it to eat up big chunks of anyone's time. But I hope Sony keep developing it because I think the basic idea is a really good one.
