Sony Not Anywhere Near Abandoning PlayStation Home, Revamp Coming

Unfortunately what this means is that it's a big ass update for anyone who wants to actually log in and try Home and since the PS3 infrastructure is a pain for these sorts of things, nothing short of proof that god exists will get me to log in.

If by "often forgotten" you mean by the players? no, there's lots of people that use it, roughly 4 to 8 million i believe, for one hour sessions or so. If you mean by Sony, they always have special events for panels and special holidays too.

I should re-install it and play some bowling :<

I think the only issue that really exists and hopefully will disappear is the slow loading. I understand it when you first access it, but another is going between different areas.

I played it for like 15 minutes and never touched it again.

I always thought they could greatly improve Home by integrating it with Little Big Planet. Replace Avatars with sack-people, the apartments with a fully-customized space (like a LBP level) and that sort of thing. It'd be way more charming, and improve third-party and consumer support of costume items.

Playstation Home...come on joseph...

While not alone, I wonder if PlayStation Home was what primarily inspired Microsoft's "avatars"?

Will we still be able to watch travis cyber?

Cool, good that its not just being thrown away.

I downloaded home way back when - I probably spent more time downloading and installing it then i did actually exploring it - it was boring, rigid and uninteresting. I soon there after deleted it and never have i had a single desire to ever reinstall. It was an interesting idea - but it's just been exectued so poorly.

So what is Playstation Home? what do you do?

I've never tried it and probably never will.

It´s good to know that Playstation Home will be revamp.I really liked the Idea of a avatar that I make can walk in a distric to hear about first-person shooting.Could even call people to play,whit a more "realistic" social than simple search for games inside the own game´s menu or in the internet.Seems nice,but I would rather not buy stuff to play inside Playstation Home.

This COULD be good.

This'll be interesting.

The design of the city so far looks like a quick summary of Crackdown's map. >.>

As long as there's more free crap I'll just run around as a gaudily-outfitted guy or girl. And stack chairs in my house.

I actually JUST deleted home off of my system about two days ago. i was trying to free up some space to download a game and i was shocked by the size of the damned thing. 12 gigabytes. 12. i never really was that interested in home anyway. the one thing that i liked when it was first announced was the virtual trophy viewer. but to be fair, this is supposed to be a social "game" (cant think of a better word atm), and i will admit im not that social. i only know two people in real life that are on my friends list, and BOTH of them only ever play call of duty. :/
that being said, maybe this revamp will make it more interesting with the "quests" and all. another thing, i agree with republictiger. home is WAY too slow. you cant event change your shirt without waiting like a minute. anyway, sorry for typing such a long comment.

I don't get what's so great about Playstation Home. it's not good, and no matter how much changes they'll do, it will still be no good if the consept is still the same......... but i'm an open minded man, so I'll give it a chance.

Never was interested enough to try Home, I don't think this will change that.

Holy crap I might look into this.

Having Trophies unlock items in PS Home would go a long way towards encouraging more use as a social hub.

In the end though, I think the time and resources would be better spent in giving us cross-game chat.

so... it's second life? only you can't fly.

i'm going with aged milk, i'd rather have party chat than something that will just take up space on my hard drive
