The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

So the Playstation Home beta is now available and the reviews so far have been less than stellar. Within the home community, you can bowl and play arcade games but there are only a set number of them to go around and if another Home user is playing it, you can't. Now keep in mind this is only the beta and if they are already having problems with people not being able to do things, so imagine when the full version goes up with all Playstation owners. Penny Arcade had a few less than positive things to say:


"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."
and
"There are things about Home that are simply beyond my understanding. Chief among these bizarre maneuvers is the idea that, when manufacturing their flimsy dystopia, they actually ported the pernicious notion of scarcity from our world into their digital one. This is like being able to shape being from non-being at the subatomic level, and the first thing you decide to make is AIDS."


Doesn't look like Home will be the XBL killer it was touted to be but hopefully Sony can get it up to at least be somewhat functional within the year.
