Sony Clarifies Details About PS3 Home

Posted by Zonk on Friday September 14, 2007 @10:03AM from the out-and-about dept.

Ars Technica's Opposable Thumbs blog has a few new details on the future of the Home project, as gleaned from the ThreeSpeech website. Among the tidbits of information: they'll be rolling out the service slowly, ramping up the number of servers as gradually as possible. They're really looking to make money with this, via advertising and microtransactions. And they're not really worried about porn. "For instance, a casino or even somewhere you can go and see 18-rated trailers for games. That isn't anything particularly sinister, but obviously, you'd have to prevent 12-year-olds going in there. Obviously, there are other 18-plus areas that you could imagine, but some of those might not come to fruition."

Sony is kicking some serious ass in online console gaming.
While everything else you say may be true, this is just wishful thinking at this point. Home isn't out yet. Nobody owns a PS3. It's holiday lineup is anemic. Right now Sony has a *plan* to *try* and kick "some serious ass in online console gaming" but they haven't done squat yet.
