In this thread, everyone here who's in Home will get to share their experiences, their space designs, their avatar(s), their Club(s), and more. Y'all can also make challenges to one another in a game of Pool, Bowling, and even any (Sony-published) PlayStation 3 video game you'd like to play through Home.

As promised earlier, I've created a new club devoted to GamingRing.com and BEYOND! It's called.....

Club GamingRing
(CGR)

To join, post your online info in this thread and your interest in the club (whether you want to join or not), and I'll invite you in.

I got the beta, and I love it. Graphics are great and stuff, and there is alot to be added still, like more chess tables and bowling alleys, because they are all taken. :|

[Jackov]

So basically considering that I've never had money on my PSN account, I can't get the full experience from this? What bullshit.

Clothes are full experience,lol no dude. It's just clothes anyways,there's way more interesting things than that. Besides i think you will get some free clothes by earning trophies.

[JoshuaIceman]

i was reading you can buy ur own Night Club Call me Crazy But im thinking about it.

Just to run my own Night Club be it expensive but it would be Kinda cool

I even heard a rumor that u have to buy your own music u cant use the music on your hardrvie unless u pay for it.

Though i cant conferm it but that came out the sony forums. arg in one of the post the users where talking about it.

[Brad Ward]

just re-signed up

People are stating more than just clothes.

So how is this thing compared to say, the NXE?

[JoshuaIceman]

So how is this thing compared to say, the NXE?

it so far seems to be Ok kinda Boring on the 24th of December i get my xbox360 so im looking forward to trying NXE But as far as this goes

I Think Sony really stooped to a new low with Charging for New Clothes Houses And Item's and such

Really charging 99cents for a virtual shirt or item in your house is rediculus

the most expensive thing I've seen is like 5.99 for a summer house and some clubs.

So really Sony shouldn't be charging for this stuff epically since those who go to beta test got all that stuff for Free Mind you.

Things u can do while using Sony Home is Dance. Watch Movie. Play Arcade/Pool/Bowling. Or Go to the Mall. Hang on it gets even better.

Go Back to your apartment and rearrange your furniture.

Yeah sounds fun right. Oh and at Your Apartment. You can Go Outside.

and Look Over the Balcony at the Virtual Docks and Ocean. Below and there's another part of town. You cant get to just yet. I'm Of Course talking about where the Docks are Located.

Other points of Slight Interest. Is Sully's Bar from Drakes Fortune is in you can go explore it.

and some areas From Far Cry are in too. as well Also on the Japanese. Home Beta.

You can go to the Namco. beta Area and play Pacman. Sounds like real fun right.

To tell the truth the danceing shit looked gay espically since i seen about 5. Guys Danceing.

and I noticed lastnight in the bowling Alley. that when a girl was near. two guys on mic. was like Theres a girl Dude OMG Go Talk to her dude U Go get that shit.

and 2min later the dude came back and told his friend i tryed talking to her and she just walked away.

Oh Yeah really Interesting stuff there Real Rib biting if you ask me.


Gimme a Break. Dumb Sony, Home might be better but its kinda dumb chargeing for. Stuff inside the game I Could understand if you earned like say. Something called Sony Dollers. and Bought stuff out the mall then i could see that being ok.

But it involves real money thats when its not ok espically for that.

[Lucid_Delusion]

Well, they have to have some sort of business model for this. I mean it's no different than Microsoft charging points to download new dashboard themes to give your NXE space a customized look. And they will be rolling out new clothes themed for games and stuff eventually which won't be free. Sure you use Microsoft points but you gotta purchase those.

Fair enough but you wanted a Indepth on how this thing worked well lol i gave it to ya.

[Lucid_Delusion]

True. Though I was looking more for the interactivity of it with other gamers more than purchasing stuff to go along with your avatar and home space.

[Viper]

Home is actually pretty cool, just spent the past few hours on it. Right now, there really isn't much at all to do, but walk around and explore. You can bowl, play arcade games, play chess, pool all that good stuff.

the downside right now is that in order to really get a full experience you need to buy stuff which sucks honestly, the avatar models are a very linear, and the inability to change colors of clothes doesn't sit well with me as you tend to run into other people looking exactally like you.

The highest point of these past few hours was me and Jackov getting like 4 other people to start randomly dancing with us in the mall...twas hilarious. And me creating this fat guy with pink hair, pink eyebrows, and pink mustache with a grey sweatshirt, and pink(ish) pants on, and getting on the dance floor with everyone stopping and just staring...very funny.

I was on Home a few Hrs Ago and I Seen a Dude with Pink Hair danceing in the mall that made me laugh but i cant go in to the Movie theater Don't know what's playing it seems far to long to Load But yes Home Is a Good Exprince despite what i said lastnight about it. and its just i cant wait till more areas open up like the Area With the Boats looks like it could be fun if you can get down there some time.

Just wish in Sully's Bar I Wish you could get in to Random Bar fights lol u know Hiting people Trowing Bar Stools the work's Know im just dreaming but it would be funny.


For the BETA Testers on here is it true can you use your own music i n the clubs area.? i havent gotten invited to a Club but im thinking of running my own soon.

So i was just wondering

[Jackov]
