I can absolutely see where you’re coming from in this article Terra, and I happen to agree that they kinda shot themselves in the foot with their pricing. But as you’ve also pointed out, these things are creeping up to a “healthier” price for those who develop for the application. Just look at that unsightly “Diamond” mansion; it has sold a fair few units I’d imagine, and that in itself is an indication that there are those willing to “invest” (I know, you don’t like that word) a substantial amount into virtual real estates.

If anything this is exactly the indication that says Home WILL be carried over to PS4. Maybe just streamed onto it sure, but then you could log into Home from a PS3 or 4 regardless. It seems, after all, that’s why they moved all our data onto their side -- effectively allowing the end user access to their Home ccontent from anywhere in the world, as long as they could get to a PS3 (or 4?).

The inclusion of IPs like Doctor Who subtly tell me there’s its far from winding down too, and there’s been no holding off of new content and ideas either; I don’t see Home stopping for a good long while to come.

As for the price increase thing well, I’m Scottish, so it’s apparently in my nature to be “stingy” which means obviously I don’t want to see any increases anywhere lol. I’d dump my club and everyone in it in a heartbeat if they started with a monthly fee! Sorry but, it’s just some other spaces to me, I don’t actually have a “club”…

The lack of financial transparency is the culprit I think for all this whining about cost. Without being educated about how Sony and the 3rd parties are doing, people will only see how much they pay for things, and that will always fall on the side of paying too much

As far as the headline goes, maybe if Home ports to the PS4 that just might be a reality!
