" I tried home out when I first got my PS3. I don't like it. Takes to long to load stuff, very confusing interface, and I dont give a crap what little kids have to say on the internetz =P  So ya i found it pointless. Only cool thing is the virtual movie theatre. That was novelty, though, at best. Edit: forgot to say I haven't played in awhile so I don't know a whole lot about what improvements they've done but I do know they've been working on improving it. "

It is stupid 

I've logged onto Home twice. Both times all I did was spam dance moves in the middle of people while they were talking. I got a chuckle out of it for about a minute before logging off.

I tried it a few times, and wasn't hugely enthralled with it. Now it has a HUGE amount of patching to do before I can use it again, so... 
 
Sorry, Home. You tried,  I tried. It's just not going to work out.

It's unclear to me why they still put so much effort into Home, especially what's required of developers.  
 
someone needs to fix it.  
 
or delete it. 
 
whichever. 

" I don't get it.  I mean, I walked around for an hour clicking on things, watching the chat logs.  What do you do exactly?  Tried to converse with a few people, but all I see are people flirting with each other.  I think multiplayer games do a better job of getting strangers to socialize than this crap.  Did I miss something?  AMIDOINITRITE? "

In Home, you win by convincing other people to join Home. Your move...

Congratz on being the front runner for most random and needless bump of the year. Bonus points for being offensive, as well as having created a new account just to post this.

One of the more strange thread revivals I have seen I must admit.

The mini-games are cool. The main plaza is really just the airport lounge, its not a destination it is the boring place you have to go to to get anywhere good. The big problem is figuring out what is free and good to play. A few years ago the DDR rooms were fun, basically playing DDR in a group by pressing controller buttons. The BUZZ! trivial room was fun too, but it was easy to cheat so it fell by the wayside.

The best advice for anyone who want to try it is too go to the opening page and start downloading all the areas that seem cool....they walk away for 90 minutes while everything loads. Then poke around the mini-game. If you want to interact with people...bring your own people in with you...you WON'T meet anyone new in there...and why would you trust anyone you meet after five seconds. The would be like going to NYC, jump off the bus, and then starting to chatting with people - you will get you shanked.

Home is actually a rather decent place to chat with the friends you already have.

My experience with Home was I made a lady and decorated my house a little bit with all of the Resident Evil 5 figures I had and that was fun. Then I went outside of my private house to go do other things and I got swarmed with people immediately trying to get into my internet panties and I panicked and turned the Playstation off.

Looking back, at least someone wants me?

It is worthless, yet my wife loves it. Go figure?

How does she put up with the rampant, sexist idiocy?

You can have a bit of fun "trolling for weirdos" in Home too, but as you found if you are not used to it it can be very weird.

This is one of my avatars:

Yes, it is totally prurient. But it is so attention getting that there is a great deal of humor to be mined from the folks who do follow her around.

Home sounds a lot like the Phantasy Star Universe demo for the 360.

Considering you're on a website about video games, and you most likely play video games, this "argument" falls flat.

I've had a Playstation for a couple of years now, and I have never once played home.

I played Home a couple of times when I was really ill and couldn't sleep. When I say played I mean myself and a group of other lifeless Home avatars had dance parties in the middle of people trying to cyber.
