Start the game and go into network then i think my rankings or friend's rankings to found out what they have done in game.

Sounds okay too bad Sony had 2 copy ms achievement system.Nonetheless I can't wait to try out home,I just hope it doesn't get boring like second life or the other MMOs.

Well you can call it a copy but I see Home taking it in a more better kind of way. You can take a video of the moment that you did the accomplishment or a pic, plus you get trophies for it. Obviously XBL layed out the grounds for the idea but PSN is building it into somthing crazy.



As for Home getting boring, I dont think its meant to be a blast like a game (because its not a game). I'm pretty sure it'll be fun as long as you have friends though (or make some friends lol), cause then you'll have someone to chat with while you play pool, bowl, and try out those arcade games.



I tried Home once, but that was before they added Home square and all these updates. Cant wait to see how much its changed (which I'm sure will be a lot because when I tried it half the features werent working or werent even put in yet).

if this tip is legit and sony is ready to release Home VERY VERY VERY soon, one could only hope that its at or around GDC... guess we'll find out within the next few days. :)

thats why I will love home... is a better way to meet people, it doesn't to be fun... sony wants you to buy games.. not to be in home24/7 and still have a bowling and another minigames...



in the other hand the now named Accomplishments it will be awesome and for the people that said it doesn't matter that to reach point and all is useless... well.. you never played and 360 then... isn't to compete with other people... is to finish the game and explore all ways of the game without finishing it fast... add replay value and make more people to be online because will be Accomplishments to win 25 time in a streak many more things and the online will be better in the PSN...



But anyway I still think home will be at may or april even if it's ready...

Well...What I really disliked about the achievements on the Xbox 360 was the fact that you got NOTHING from it. I think it would be really cool if you could download new games (minigames, of course) or something like that if you gain enough points, or at least new maps, packs, etc.

Now the way Microsoft makes it let me think that they are doing it only to bind people to the game...

I hope Sony makes something better from the accomplishment idea.



Anyways, I hope this news is (partially) fake.

You want to know why?

Because in my opinion Sony shouldn't rush Home.

They should give us a damn HUGE advertising campaign so everybody notices Home and it's cool features. And they should make it the best way they can. And before the big release, they should make an open beta server so everybody can help improve Home before it comes out, so it will be as cool as everybody wishes it.

Hope you understand my opinion.

the end of this or next month.



Apart from that, with all the little promotional stories that are flying around, we can safely assume that Home is in its promo period...which would be no more than 8 weeks (I think this is the 2nd or 3rd week). If it doesn't release by March 30th, either Playstation's financials are still hurting or Home still has marketing problems (which means Sony has no control over its release).

i dont no if n e one hasnt noticed but the Beta for HOME end's March 31st usely things arnt releseast befor the Beta is done .. the reson i no this is because i my self a Beta tester for HOME and in my Beta Central is says Beta End's March 31st now maybe that means we'll get in April Fools .lol

SONY COPIED THE XBL SO THE TRANSITION FROM THE 360 TO PS3 WOULD FEEL SMOOTHER. HEHEHE1111111

With all the pictures and videos that are around the net

having achievments would be the best!! march or april the latest i predict

:( When will they stop teasing us like this its not fair!

the PSN "gamer cards" were going turn out like a myspace kind of page, put idk you know how people throw around rumors every chance they get..



One thing that I hate is everyone wants what the 360 has only because they want everything from it (plus some), Like this gamer card thing.. I could care less if we have gamer cards I just want good features like Home is going to offer.

The Dictionary of Sony(R)



Very (?) - A word with no meaning.



Soon (adv) - A time that never comes.



Home (n) - A registered trademark of SCEI that will never be anything more then a trademark.

I know im going out on a limb here, but i hope one day the PSP can have a Home type feature, just imagine the traffic that system will have.



But i can't wait for Home, for all the people claiming this to a carbon copy of Achievements and Live you people must not really know anything.



First of all a copy is something that as the same exact functions and Name, this has its own functions and name.



I think this is good for gaming, a little battle in the gaming world is awesome, since gamers will get the best stuff and the companies work extremely hard to match or to do better than there opponent.



For example its just like GTA and Saints Row, While SR did have very similar things to GTA, it did bring new things into the table and even done things better than GTA has done. That alone makes it the only sandbox title to ever match and give GTA a run for it money. It also makes Rockstar try very hard to out do SR,and GTA4 will make Volitions try very hard to match and out do GTA4, and thus making gamers happy that such titles are that good. Hell This could start a chain reaction and some day make Sandbox as a new Game genre.

Home is nothing but great and will help competition and we gamers will be benefit from it all. Stop complaining.
