Rumour – PS Home to go international soon

Awesome! Now you can get verbal abuse in even more languages!

All four people care about this news.

Home goes back to where it came from would sound better to me..
if at least the button would be removable from the xmb it would be sweet..
How often did i start home allready when i actualy would go to psn store..

I actually remember the last time I used Home: the night Michael Jackson died.

It was actually mental that night in Home Square.

I have never, and will never, touch that Home icon. I cannot think of a worse waste of time and resources.

Closing down a few servers?

If you’ve never used it, how on Earth can you say with such confidence that it’s such a waste of time? I don’t use it often, but I’ve had fun on there when I’ve visited, there really is plenty to do these days. The Buzz space is awesome.

Anyway, it must be putting money in Sony’s coffers, otherwise they wouldn’t be further expanding it like this. Sony are hardly in a financial position to develop a feature that isn’t either being used or generating them money, purely to save face.

Well it does say “A specific space will apparently be used for international relations.” so I don’t think it’s that.

I’ve tried it Gadzooks. It’s bloody dreadful. It takes an age to install, keeps needing further downloads and there’s nothing there but adverts anyway.

This would be that annoying menu option that I’ve never clicked on that gets in the way whenever I want to get to the Playstation Store, right?

I used Home once on a friends PS3 before I bought mine. It was a very unpleasant experience that I never want to repeat.

And yes, I know it’s free and I dont have to use it, but imagine the quality PSN games that dev time could have funded…

The 3.5 update dramatically speeds up loading and makes navigation a lot easier. If you don’t like it or use it then fine, but there really are some nice spaces on there nowadays, it’s far more than the husk of adverts it was at launch.

But if Home is profitable for Sony and it has found an audience who are willing to invest time and money into it, it’s clearly been a success for them.

Sony has also put out a lot of exclusive content this and last year, so I don’t see that it’s adversely effected their gaming output.

As I say, just ignore it and let those who like it continue to enjoy it.

Sod that. I’m going to stop you enjoying it Robo_1.

Bwah ha haaaa!!!

Is this your way of telling me that my dreams of playing FEUD on Home have just been dashed.

Hopefully we’ll still get “Avatar Zub” on XBLA.

I’d be lying if I said Sony’s not done anything to improve it in the past two-and-a-half years since its launch, it really is a lot better then it was back then.

Then again, what the fuck do I know? I haven’t used it in almost a year.

…which might be the problem itself.

Must stop using my own name when trolling.

I loved the C64 loading screen for Feud.

Very good. A++++. Would load again.

Home is just one in a long line of Sony blunders. Perhaps the biggest one.

Home shouldn’t go international. Home should just go away.
