    Honestly, if People start praising this shit, and they have been hating on HOME this whole time, there a bunch fo Hipocrites. HOME is actually pretty cool, and if this is true, and if they do it right and make it free, than this could be cool to. Im jsut saying, itll be funny if people are all for this and not HOME.

    I wouldn't be interested in that at all.  Home or any other life simulation games are super lame.

    Home is fucking retarded.  It was the worst thing ever.  A lot worse than having your shit pushed in.  And a lot of it has to do with how Sony hyped it up, delayed it for 2 years and when it came out it was still a beta and there was absolutely nothing there to do.  None of the cool stuff they showed off was there and all you could do was dance.
    But I am sure whatever MS does will be better.  Not that I hate Sony (except for the time they tricked me into paying 60 bucks for Killzone) or that I praise MS.  It is just that Home was so fucking terrible, that nothing worse could ever come out.

    @TheHBK:

    First of all, I dont put shit out. secondly, you have some points. Its not like it was hyped to be. However, its a Evolving process. and there making millions of the thing, so that pretty much means its a sucess from a Financial standpoint. Plus, tons of people use it.

    Like motion controllers, i don't give a rats ass about virtual spaces either, be it on my PS3 or on my Xbox 360.  
     
    But i am however going to enjoy listening to all the 360 Home haters try to justify how all of a sudden its cool now that its going to be on the 360.

    Yeah another social network avatar crap thing that I get to avoid. Home is like a stripped down, freedom version of Second Life. If MS is really going to copy this, they are just wasting resources. Yes I understand that Home makes money. But at the same time I accept the fact that penis enlargement spam makes money because it still exist. (if it didn't make money the spam would stop.)

    It depends on if Microsoft gives people lots of things to do inside their virtual world.  You can do everything of interest in Home in about an hour (not counting endless load times).  After that, you just hang out in the theater or by the fountain dancing.  I was there about 6 weeks ago and I visited a lot of the zones like Drakes, Capcom, EA Sports and that airplane race one.  It's a complete waste of time because interaction is limited and passtimes are few.  When there is more action going on outside the bank in Stormwind or Ogrimmar than in all of Home, you know you've got a turkey on your hands.  If Microsoft decides to implement something as useless to their system as Home, then they need to fill it up with reasons for people to go there and they need to make sure it's easy to communicate with others.  Of course, given the reputation of most XBL chatters, that would probably turn into a endless stream of potty mouths exhibiting no self control, but something needs to be done to aid interaction.   
     
    Personally, I think once Free Realms goes live on PS3, Home will be a ghost town.

    ha lol, microsoft copying sony. home is alright i've only been on there on my friend's ps3. i never downloaded it on my ps3. there are little things that u can do in home. some of the things that u can do was play poker( godfather 2), dance (anywhere), scavenger hunt (resent evil 5), fly a plane (redbull), rally race (redbull), play classic arcades(arcade), bowl(bowling ally) really only thing that i have done in home. it only lasted like 30 min until i got bored of it.  u can also edit ur home and change the appearance of ur home person.
     
    if microsoft is releasing something like home then i think that it is going to be for xbox live gold user only. the t-shirts are probably going to cost money to get while ps3 some of the clothing were free. just about everything on the xbx 360 market place cost money so i don't think that there is going to be any free things.

    MS has been figuring out concepts for a virtual world for a lonnng time now.
     
    Back a few years ago someone leaked images of a 360 virtual world with primitive versions of the avatars we have to day on /v/ on 4chan.  This was well before they were ever announced and noone believed it.
     
    Lesson to be learned : everything you hear on /v/ is true.

    Home was utter dogshit and made me hate my PS3 more.
    The idea of some lame avatar arcade would make me hate my 360 more.
     
    Anybody who even remotely defends Home are clinically retarded. There's no "It's a matter of preference" or anything like that.
    The thing is so intellectually bankrupt that I would present any person who claims it's good with a hammer and my balls to see if there was any way they could make it a less unpleasant feeling than Home. And they wouldn't.
    Looking back 6 months or so in threads where SDF fanboys were all giddy about how this would be a ringing success and we'd be walking around dressed as Nathan Drake and Solid Snake while sipping virtual martinis in a Helghast decorated bar is almost hilarious if it wasn't so sad.
     
    FUCK YOU HOME!

    Not just that, erased from our minds and have never heard of it, so that Sony's dumbass bragging had never reached our ears?  Then yes, I would pay for that. 
    @Raven_Sword: 
    And I didn't say anything about you pushing shit out or in.  I meant, that using home and the crap that preceded its release, immense hype and delay, only to be followed by a worthless application, is worse that having your shit pushed in.  Anyone ever have their shit pushed in?  Yeah, home feels like that.

    Microsoft's "innovation" is codeword for "poor imitation crammed down the throats of the consumers through monopoly and mass advertising."  Look at Windows (copy of Mac GUI which itself was a copy of Xerox's GUI), Internet Explorer (Netscape and NSCA Mosaic), Zune (ipod), MS Word (Bravo by Xerox, again), the list goes on.   Give this man more money, please:
