One thing I have always wondered is how they are going to "fit" everyone in Home. Is everyone in the environment? Like if I were to walk into the bowling area, I would bump into you (Zero) and basically anyone else who is logged on and is in the bowling alley at that time? I am beginning to see the point in the whole private space now.

One other thing is who are you actually watching in play bowling? Like on the videos you see a few people playing on the bowling alley, but in actual fact there are thousands of people playing it, so who do we actually see playing it when we walk by? These things just can't be answered without using Home.

I wonder if the Home 'moderators' will walk around in Police uniforms..... maybe undercover?!

So many questions to be answered!!!

I am assuming there will be servers, so the community areas are not so packed, but anyone at anytime can go to your home through the XMB menu. Then maybe through your home, if there are people there, you can all join the same server together to go to the community center.

That seems like the most reasonable way to have it work.

The cop thing would be awesome, lol. I would always go up to them and start grinding on them. :P

I think it has pretty much been confirmed that going to someone's living space is by invitation only. If not, I am buying a burglar alarm!

I was thinking if there will be servers, it will either be "pick a home (pardon the pun) server, you can visit other ones as you please" or it is separated by region (Europe, America, Japan, etc) and again you can visit others as you please.

They should make private servers available for clans, websites, and stuff like that. Obviously there would be a cost to that but it would provide a private place for people to conglomerate without visiting one person's living space.

On another note: Has anything been said yet regarding how many people can visit the same living space at one time, or if this limit expands as you buy better places to live?

Thats tricky, maybe only enough people that you ahve seating for would be allowed? Man we're hyping this up alot, I'm going to stop thinking about it so its not a let down

Only if I could buy a standup Splinter Cell arcade game (a la R6V2), would I even think of buying one for my PSN "home". I just love the sound that the machine makes as you walk past it in the game!

Good point, but all sources have pointed to an open beta around this time of year so their definition can't be much different from ours at this point.

I have a question for all of you. I have never been on a beta before right, I was looking around for home stuff about 2 weeks ago and stumbled across a video of home beta. The guy turns his ps3 on goes to home it says home beta it loads and everything. So my question is, is home already available for beta? I mean obviously not because everyone is asking about it but maybe I'm missing something.

Also I like how they will have fee's for things, A lot of people will spend money on virtual stuff including myself, so in terms this "free" online for ps3 is secretly charging people making the online better and its a fun way to spend your money you can say?
