Agdmft.

I got it downloaded but the server must be getting hammered. I can't sign in at all. Waited an hour. Managed to accept the agreement but still can't sign in.

same.

I got in. Was very barebones, but had an assload of potential.

There's something like 100mb worth of content that you have to download (in sections) so I wouldn't be surprised if it takes the servers a week or so to become stable.

I got in yesterday after 5 minutes of trying to sign in. The devs have been saying to keep trying so they can test the load.

Overall, it wasn't too exciting. I played a couple of arcade games and that was the best part of the experience. The rest is walking around and debating whether $1 is a good deal on a chair. Everybody looks the same too because you start off with little clothing selection. It would have been nice to be able to customize the colour of your clothing. Hopefully, there will be more ways to get clothing for free because I feel like punching somebody that wears the same stuff as me. lol

Not much content, but potential. I don't know how much buying fake stuff, even for a buck interests me.

I tried this last night and it just seemed like some sort of sex offenders' party. Any female character was surrounded by dudes wanting her to "sit next to them" and other odd things.

It makes me weep for society.

LOL! ..Very nice/interesting description... Second Life part 2...
Maybe I can talk work into getting me a PS3 and Home just to "monitor" the situation?

I tried it for a second time. It was deathly boring. I don't know what to do in there. Perhaps it'll be more fun when everybody is on it and it has more places.

I downloaded the stuff this weekend and wandered around a bit. Lines for online video games suck. I never tried the bowling but being a pool player IRL, I played around on the pool tables for a while. Mostly while waiting for a TV show to start.

[Quest Shady]

I still see the great potential here but for now I get bored fast...Have to many games to play...LOL!

[msdz]

I have been on a total of 3 times, those times have mainly been used up by the downloading time it takes to update to the newest release or downloading an area. As IRL I don't just walk up to strangers and start talking for no reason. So, I kinda find this almost useless. I have no intentions of doing a lot with @home on my PS3. If I am on my PS3 it is usually to play games or check out new releases and demos. Not to BS with other people, I have a PC I can do that with much easier to.

Home is good for something

That's about as much fun as you can get out of home.

[Banyan]

LOL, that was funny!
