Not gonna waste words.. it is AWFUL.

Sony took such a simple concept and tried to do too much with it.
Miis work because they are simple versions of yourself you can do in 5-10 minutes and use in games.

Home doesn't work because it tries to get you to recreate a virtual you, and then you get a better apartment than most people can afford.

And then you go out into a plaza (after downloading it of course and waiting 5 minutes) where everyone looks like a ghost outline.

And then you attempt to do some of the fun activities with your Home avatar only to find out that wait times like in real life exists so don't go bowling when everyone else is doing it.

And you better not miss the premiere of that opening movie.

And of course this is all accompanied by downloading each individual area and waiting for the significant load time.

And I know its a beta, but really.. I get the choice of 3 hairstyles? What?!

I don't think it's a beta anymore. I thought the rollout was yesterday which I also heard was abysmal.

I can't believe that they could mess something up that really looked a lot better the way they advertised it, at least in videos and at E3.

I bailed out before the raping took place.

What!? I actually liked it, it's relaxing. I didn't run into any annoying people, I managed to play bowling without waiting much, and had nice conversations.

And nobody had names like in the comic :)
