The reason on why Sony home won't work

1. No one on PSN uses Head sets. If you played on PSN you'll know what I mean.2. How can someone type with this massively awkward thing on your controller? Its even worse due to the fact that its on the top of the control farthest away from your thumbs. And they want Home to be a social network and they give you bad tools to us it with. Edit: Yes, I know you can use keyboard with your PS3,but it still awkward.  3. No PC integration.   The Best way they can advertise this is if you allow pc users to get and use Home. Casuals are mostly into it but they won't by a PS3 to get Sony Home. But allowing it to be on PC give Sony free advertising for their system, and allows People to become PS3 ciouius. 4. No ability to create forum in Home.   If you play mmo's you'll understand that communication is done by team speak and typing. Of course Home will be using the same rules or it would be a giant mess of a disarray of thousand of people taking at once and every voice is draw to the listeners head set.(Which will destroy their ear drums) So, the real draw would by why would we talk to one another in Home. Would we randomly run up to some and start saying we like Resistance 2 or something? It would be best it me came make a topic to talk about. Now, Home would be great if you can make a random room that you can make  a topic that you brought up and draw people to talk about it like in forums.To bad it's not in Home. The most the have is to invite friends to you Digital room, but that only invite only. No new people are brought in unless invited.  Home is an awkward start to Sony online date a base. It would be better if Little Big Planet was Home but still what there is there. It's all up to Sony on how great the service will be.  The reason on why Sony home won't work

[QUOTE=''vivelaps3'']ight[/QUOTE] Just a ''ight''?Technically ight not a word.
EDIT: Woops, fell for a troll, my bad...

But TC, really, why DO you care about home? Unless I'm completely wrong about you, and you DO own a PS3, and are just very unimpressed with it, which is entirely possible to be sure. The PS3 is anything but a ''perfect gaming machine''.
Hm..you got a point there. I wonder what they will do. Alot of text bubbles in the air without some sort of team speak would suck.
That gaming pad actually looks lik eit would be good. Nothing in the way of any of the buttons and it looks like it is above the main part of the controller so it wouldn't really get in your way one bit. It's kind of like the 360 gaming pad that everyone loves to hate yet it still feels very comfortable in my hands.
Hmmm how much do those keyboard things cost?
[QUOTE=''0rin'']It's always nice to hear opinions from people who have no idea what they are talking about. TC clearly doesn't own a PS3, which makes me question why he would care how well home fares or not, let alone why he would assume everyone who ''plays on the PSN'' would agree with him in his broad statement of ''NO ONE on the PSN has a mic'' (which is such a gross overstatement it's just outright failure wrong). No big deal though, an opinion is just that.

[/QUOTE] Are you telling me that you never when into a Cod4 match with most of you team unable to respond or here you due to the face they don't have Mic's?Really, every match of R2 your team mated can here you? Quick question, did you watch to last Bonus Round on GT about ONLINE SERVICE? The one where the guy made tool of himself when he stated free PSN was bad and made him self look like an idiot when he said PSN had more smak take then xbl? The point is that he made himself look like an idiot out of ignorance. If he played psn he would know that mostly no one uses mics on psn so no smack talk. So to reiterate, No one on psn has mics.

Sorry but I disagree. Of course people use mics, saying no one uses mics is a mass exaggeration. A lot of people use mics, and the numbers are growing. Of course, it's nothing like the 360's though. I use a mic, my friends use mics, and more than half of the gamers I play with on CoD4 use mics (sometimes just 1 person, sometimes all). In conclusion, saying no one uses mics makes your point of view look silly.
 I also don't see the BIG problem with the chatpad. Everyone is complaining about how it looks awkward, yet many people have yet to actually use it. I think it looks fine really, I haven't used it yet myself, but I don't understand why people think Sony hasn't thought about comfort.  And of course, you can use the keyboard, so what's the big deal?The features like Forums and what not may be coming, you can't expect to have everything that you prefer on Home upon release. Home will surely add in content as it grows in years. On top of that, forums? To talk about what? The only real forums I can see used for Home would be ''Improvement Feedback'' in which case, why not use the forums on the Playstation site?  I am personally not too fond of Home, but give it a chance before bashing it. It looks great, and there are features I am excited for, but it's not something I've been looking forward to. When it comes, I'll surely try it out.  Another thing about the chatpad-- so what if it's all the way up there? You can't manage to lift your thumbs up to the keyboard? It's not like you'll be using the dualsticks while chatting.   Lastly, the PC has nothing to do with PS3 and in no way should Home be on a PC if that's what you are actually trying to say. No less than Xbox Live being on a PC
Where do you get this ''no one has headsets'' stuff? Do you have actual documented proof? I have a headset, but i turn it off for 90% of the game because most of the times the game is so straight foward, there is no need for me to breathe down the mic. Now, If i were on PSHome, then I would turn on my headset because it would actually be useful. Thats the first thing.Why would they put PC integration? thats the most idiotic thing. PSHome is supposed to be a place for PS3 users to meet and communicate and play games. So why put it on PC? If they wanted PC integration they would have made PS2ndLife. Sony has been adamant that PSHome is to enhance the way you play games, not a game of its own. So if you arent playing a PS3 game, what are u using home for?Your forum arguement is a little weak. I dont see it as being necessary at all :?As for typing, im pretty sure you can use a USB keyboard if you wish.
Well Considering that the keybored is ''BLUETOOTH'' you may not have to put it on the controller?

I highly doubt anyone would use it in the same way as an actualy computer keyboard where your fingers should stay on the middle keys in an already set way and I highly doubt it was built for speeds of 120 words per minute.

The thing is that I'm not Bashing it. I'm giving help criticism. Yes, In know I'm exaggerating but still most people on psn don't use mic's.The Pads problem is that you have to us you thumbs to use it like text phone but it far from you thumbs to use it.The Forum my come in the future but it just that Home need something to come back to. With out the forum it would be a thing you use once and may of my not come back to. It would attract more people if it had it.Really, I want it to do well but I see so many fults. I just wanted to state it's reason why it had problem with out it coming out from some fanboy gargling up that ''IZ SUKZ'' or ''IZ NOSE POINTZ'' statement.
