I'll be happy when Home comes out in wide-release. I have been on the beta, but at this point, all of the secrets have really been given away (Read them all in the newest Electronic Gaming Monthly). I have a couple of reasons why I'll be happier when Home is in wide-release.

First reason is that Home is quite boring at the moment because there aren't enough people in the Beta. Imagine walking into your local mall at about 9 A.M. on a Tuesday. That's what Home is like. Not too many people there, but you want people there, because it's supposed to be a social community.

Second reason is that I feel like the only thing that connects PS3 users right now is the Folding@Home program. While that program is phenomenal, and is a great way for people to team up for a better future, there is no social aspect to it. I just notice that when I cut on my PS3 every day, there are usually 1 or 2 of my friends playing a game, and the rest are folding. Again, that is great, but also sad that my friends are all folding, when we could be in Home (Hope that's not making me sound like a jerk) having fun.

Third reason is that, once the beta is over, Sony will be forced to step it up. I mean, at the moment, there is a limit to the things you can do in Home without getting bored quickly. Once every network connected PS3 user (I'd assume at this point they're mostly all connected to the net... wouldn't ya think?) has Home, Sony will definitely have to step up on their end, and add more places to roam around (Including the one pictured above - outside your personal apartment), more games to play, more videos to watch, etc.

At this point, only rumored dates have been mentioned for Home's full release. Not much at all has been said about the PS3's coming trophies, but the Beta has a little space that says something like "MCW's Gamercard". If they launch one, they have to launch the other simultaneously, or close to it, I would think. Either way, they are both confirmed for release.

What are your thoughts on Home, what you're excited about, what you want to do on there, what you don't like, etc.?
