MadFerIt Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 You're right. Misunderstood. $600 would be the grand total then. :D True but not for me. And I don't think most 360 owners have any desire to get it. I have absolutely no reason to get either an HD-DVD player or a Blue-Ray player. I have a 26" HDTV, insanely high quality but not some massive sized tv. Upscaled DVD's on my 360 look extremely similar to what HD-DVD or Blueray would give me. Now if I had a 60" HDTV, it might be a different story. But anyway that's offtopic lol! Hopefully Sony will show off more of LittleBigPlanet.. Very impressive stuff. Damn, so you already tested Home? How was it? I don't think you can compare the two. So he's most likely wrong and so are you :p. Home is more of a sign that Sony is going down a completely different path when it comes to online gaming. It's certainly not the path Microsoft has pretty much created for consoles. But I think that's a great idea. Instead of constantly trying to catch up to Microsoft with their own Xbox Live-type service.. Instead they'll have something entirely different, and unique. But I think eventually people will stop comparing the two, because they'll be vastly different. Now.. Let's have some unique Wii online features. Please Nintendo! Lol.

LiGhTfast Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 (edited) Looks pretty cool, cant see myself using it much after the buzz dies down. I'd only end up goin on to cause arguments for fun lol 360 version should be like wow and have towns/communitys and countrys on the world map egt communitys to fight and countrys against countrys. Link your experiance and level gains with gamerpoints and battles. God its compilicated to try and thing sommet that big up but if they put some thought into it i bet they could make something amazing :) Edited March 7, 2007 by LiGhTfast Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/544406-ps3-home-trailer/page/4/#findComment-588377268 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kussie Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 You know it's funny.. Everyone is extremely impressed by this (even those who prefer the 360).. But I'm just going "meh"...Maybe this just doesn't appeal to me like it does the rest of you... But hey it's good they've done something that's created some positive buzz. I am not impressed at all. i can install second life on my pc and have the exact same thing. I also like animal crossing on the ds,GC,and Soon the wii better. I just dont see how people are happy about this ? Sony is too worried about nintendo and not worried enough about microsoft. Sony should have more games announced. So far I can get the wii and 360 and have a better experience then just buying a $600 dollar ps3. That was my exact first thought. I can get this same thing for free (without having to pay $1000AUD for a PS3) by downloading SecondLife. Which is exactly what it seems like to me. A Second Life look alike with improved graphics but a lot of the freedom removed. But I think that's a great idea. Instead of constantly trying to catch up to Microsoft with their own Xbox Live-type service.. Instead they'll have something entirely different, and unique. But I think eventually people will stop comparing the two, because they'll be vastly different. Different to the other consoles, yes. Unique? No. It's called Second Life and IMVU.

SixFootJockey Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 I have to say that I'm quite impressed... but I'm going to be fairly critical and point out a few things which I'm not sure I like about it. I'm not trying to create chaos in this thread; I just want to bring some things into perspective for some people. 1. How much bandwidth does Sony think the general population has access to? I know the PS3 is being marketted as a high-end console, but streaming those high resolution videos via Home is going to take a fair amount of bandwidth. 2. How much do all the downloadable extras cost? I know they said that this service is free, but if you listen to the trailer, it says you have to download items such as unique clothes and furniture from the PS3 store. I have no doubt there'll be costs there. And if Habbo Hotel and Second Life are anything to go by, people are going to go crazy about all these downloadable extras. 3. Can anyone else see this online world being overrun with cocky and arrogant teens? 4. While everyone's online in this virtual world, who's actually playing games on their PS3? It seems to me that some people are going to spend a LOT of time in PS3 Home socialising and customising their avators/rooms, but they will hardly ever be playing games. I wonder how the game developers feel about that? 5. How easy is it for a 50 year old male to pose as a 16 year old teenage boy? 6. Does my PS3 have to be turned on and online in order for friends to visit my personal room?

No. It's called Second Life and IMVU. "PS3: Bringing you yesterday's technology, today." I definitely agree this is similar to Second life. But it is more gaming focused (and obviously not on some massive scale either). Luckily it is free to actually use the "Home" service, although it isn't totally free.. You still have to pay for clothing, furniture, and possibly any other content.

soniqstylz Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 This does look very good, but I have a small problem with the way things are going...(Source) There are still some of us miserable lonely gits in the world who prefer 'Games 1.0'... I don't get much time to play games, what with a full time job, and a 2yr old son (not to mention the wife! :devil: ), so when I sit down to play a game, I actually want to PLAY A GAME! Not design a house, or make friends and chat to strangers... Or is it just me? (P.S. This is in reference to modern gaming in general, NOT a dig a PS3 Home or Sony!) I'm right there with you. I prefer many of my games to be offline single-player (which is why a lot of the shorter games that end up focused on multi-player don't interest me much). The option to play online is nice, but not required.

Pharos Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Is that all Sony can come up with? I mean, it looks very exciting at first, but I think it will eventually wear off and start to get boring. That idea of creating a virtual world isn't new... To be honest, I think if that idea of creating this virtual world was so succesful, we wouldn't be IM'ing on Live Messenger, AIM, etc. We would be using 3DChat.org, IMVU, Moove, Cybertown, which all of them failed. If you try one of those sites you will find it very exciting, but soon after, you'll be back to the good old way of IMing. I know this doesn't completely relate to Home, so we shall wait and see. :rolleyes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/544406-ps3-home-trailer/page/4/#findComment-588377441 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meshuggah Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 If this is anything to what I will be expecting, then I must day....a Playstation 3 is DEFINATLY going to be purchased soon. I'll wait and see how all of this stuff interacts with each other and if certain things will not be free, but I love this idea. If only they could implement a camera system with which to put your own face on a character model as well as having fully integrated chat with people when they come within 5ft of you. I loved the idea of a virtual cinema as well. Imagine walking into a virtual cinema, where it launches a streaming High Definition movie or a film that is currently in theaters. IF, that happens, then I am buying one. So many things I can personally think of, so I really hope it lives up to the hype it will soon be getting.

spenser.d Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Damn, so you already tested Home? How was it? I didn't say anything about Home. But I guess you're referring to my bit about XBL being a far better experience. I've had XBL since a month before it went public and it's been a far better experience than anything else in all that time. I don't know how Home will compare, but Home in and of itself wouldn't convince me to get a PS3 so it's a moot point anyways. If you look at my post earlier in this thread you even see that I'm impressed with Home so far. And for cryin out loud, I make the most rational argument you can make for not wanting a certain console and you still manage to slam me for it. -Spenser Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/544406-ps3-home-trailer/page/4/#findComment-588377721 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS3 Home avators are only used for social interaction, whereas the idea behind Miis is to have a universal avator which can be used across any game.
