Sony Clarifies Details About PS3 Home

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."

What's with the AC who consistently shills for Sony in nearly all game-related threads - certainly all console-hardware related threads? They are actually cut-and-past jobs.

Right now, no one's really seen home in action. Most of the bullet points listed by the AC are nothing but unsubstantiated marketing drivel (this applies to his posts about home, online games and games in general). In short - every last one of these AC posts is pure drivel.

I find Home interesting, but right now, it's nothing but empty promises. Wake me up when it's out and I can actually check it out. In the meantime, I'll mod you troll.
