I don’t see why everybody so geeked about Home. I’m not. It just going to be something on my PS3. Yes I will get the BETA but that all.

I do not want Trophies, Money or not even a title saying I am number "1". You can have your cheap trophies, paper titles, and dingy headbands. I am a "STORY" to my peers, a "LEGEND" for your kids to hear, and a "FOLKLORE" to keep you from dieing with fear - [b]Calvin D. Kates aka Chauncy "TRU" Talon. [/b]

who is ‘everybody’?

it’ll probably be better than half the bullshit games already out that you have to pay $60 for

[EDGAR DOMINGUEZ]

i still dont get “exactly what this playstation home game is???

and i read it’s free that cool

[Juve Da Great]

it looks kinda like you create a person and interact with other people who have it

i havent played the sims, but it kinda seems like that

[Scatigno]

Home is not a game. It’s more of a social networking type thing. Just think Facebook but in a virtual world.

[Scatigno]
