It is funny until you consider how much time some of them spend on these games and then it just becomes sadder and sadder ;)

Have to agree with you there smoothound. If they spend their young lives on these electronic gizmos now, they will only end up chained to the computer later in life, probably spending most of their time on erm forums!!!!

I'll get me coat.

Yeah i've managed to log in a few times since Thursday. It's all been over hyped....you get bored very very quickly.

There's only so many wierdo's you want to do the funky robot dance with, only so many short trailers to watch and bowling is short lived, if you can ever get a lane!

Yes, it's all a works in progress, but i just think its all a bit over engineered. Its like Second Life only with no goals. Xbox 360's new interface just works, it does exactly what it needs to without trying to gloss things up.

Shame, seemed like a good concept at first, but really cant see a need to log into Home again.

You have to persevere to actually get in - just have to keep trying. Whether it's worth it though is another matter.

Home is going to have a Red Bull Air Race game in there but it's not available yet. I do think Home acts as a great lobby for finding people to play against, IF it has the games that is. The games are "free" so you can't really expect them to be that good, although I do hope as the forthcoming Air Race game is paid for purely by advertising that Red Bull have paid enough to develop a good game -- mainly as they want people to actually play it (they clearly spend a LOT on advertising).

This is probably a bad forum to mention a game about planks though :) Imagine though if Home had an RC heli flying sim in there.. could be a great way to get people interested in it, although I imagine half the people that spend all their spare time in Home trying to look cool in the pitiful hope that one of the "girls" in there actually responds to their advances would say [I]that [/I]was sad :))

sorry are you guys talking PS3?

Yep - on Thursday Sony made the latest Beta version of Home available to all PS3 owners (previously it was limited to a select few). Worth a try, but don't expect multiplayer GTA IV levels of freedom just yet :)

Ohhh I got one upstairs ready for the family on christmas day

Bluray does make DVD look bad....

At least the Bluray disks are coming down in price and Not region locked same with the games as well.

Also you can play mp4 video on the Machine as well and AVI as well ?

[Edders]

yep and upscaled DVD's which is a bonus

Daughter and son-in-law just told us that they want us to see dvd's of 8 month old grand son in HD so they want to buy us a blue ray player or PS3. Finally let them talk me into a PS3!! Should be available when we see them at Christmas. Just bought a turn table for converting vinyl/tapes into MP3 files and also bought Creative MP3 player with wireless connection.

HELP - I'm hiding in the corner - too much technology!!!
Please tell me when it's safe to come out!!!

Thankfully the wife is brighter than me on computers (it's OK she doesn't read this forum so will never know I've admitted it). Son-in-law is a whiz kid in a University computer lab and daughter is pretty good too. I try to buy things they can remotely operate and set up!!
