1. It looks more like the GDC demo...graphically...but the features have to be improved a bit...like if you add a friend in HOME i still cant find a way to accept an friend invitation without quitting HOME...i had to go to my XMB and accept it ....

2) How much can you do?

2. Depends...so far there is'nt much to do but you are gonna get addicted to it trying to explore all the features and stuff...Definitely everyone needs a micriphone...there is no way you can type with ur PS3 controller fast enough to keep the other players sticking with you if you are in a conversation....but there are some cool features like watching the trailors and stuff...its more like a Commercial Network for SONY where they can advertise all their movies and games...its pretty good...its lotta fun....you can customize your room or yourself....but still cant do much with it..like i dont think i can put my own pictures in my room....other than the ones that are on the list in the HOME option....its in the stages of Beta...definitely there will be lotta improvements by October !!!

3) How stable is it?

3. Well my PS3 crashed twice in a row and never since then...that was at the start too....it ran good later on...

4) Is anything asked of you guys? Like to do certain things or just to do what ever?

4. I dont get your 4th question...

Overall my Home experience definitely lived up to the hype...i will rank it 8.5/10...should be 9/10 by may ending with more improvements they will be doing....its really awesome....its lotta fun...thats what every person on HOME has been saying....it definitely lived to the HYPE !!!

The Girls in the picture are the only ones in the whole HOME Network so you can obviously expect lotta guys around em' and ..its like a Gang Bang...or a sausage fest ... lol

From ps3forums.

that means i have to get an hdtv as well.....

Something interesting that an EA employee posted on the IGN boards (in response to the Home beta being a bit limited):

"Right now HOME is featureless and a lot of functionality we have at work is not implemented yet. The home we have at work is down right fun. i dont know about you but our DL connections are pretty fast, but that could be due to our intranet or you have a poor ISP.

I spoke to friends of mine that are on the beta program and not a single one has a problem with DL's. Wait till you see what EA is doing with our lobbies and games. Remember HOME will succeed if players and companies want it to succeed not sony."
