Penny Arcade sums up Sony's Home in one paragraph:The Beta for PlayStation Home is now available to everyone, and now you know what I know: this is what happens when your marketing department tries to make a game. Here is everything you need to understand about Home, if you should accidentally launch it from your XMB: press and hold the PlayStation button in the center of your Dual-Shock or Sixaxis controller. From the menu that appears, select Quit.
I can't think of a worse use of money from either Sony, Nintendo, or Microsoft. Having a Wii peripheral that would make your Wii into a toaster or a toenail clipping jar would be more useful and entertaining.
What Sony should have done with all that precious time and money is make the PS3 as good and easy to use as the 360 in terms of a social experience with friends. Just because it's free doesn't make the PlayStation Network good.
Also, Netflix -- which I'm hoping will be the next console "must have" like analog sticks and force feedback were.
Ah, but at least Sony hasn't fucked up as bad as Nintendo. The only game that came out this holiday season for the Wii was Animal Crossing? I guess I'd take an impotent Second Life clone over that.
