There are two possible reasons gifting and deletion are, to say the least, difficult for Home items. One is that you spend real money on an item on Home, even if it’s for tokens to purchase said items (as is the case with gift machines). When a system institutes a ‘no refund’ policy, who knows what side effects it may have on its capacity to delete an item -- nevermind the fact that there may be more people than not that would delete it thinking it means a refund’s coming, only to find out nope, it won’t.

The second is the concept of transferring ownership. Home may not, in its current state, be able to transfer ownership of an item to another person -- you either buy it for yourself or another person, if you’re lucky to find it in a gift machine. You can’t switch the owner after the fact. At least that’s my guess -- it would require a Home update and Sony knows that they have enough grief from users without having to worry about the Home stability issues from such an issue.

I mean, imagine it. Updates inevitably have some lag (if not bugs) before it settles, and if you can transfer one item to another -- we already have ISE hacks to worry about. This has the possibility of opening up an entirely different can of worms.

What if we were able to log into our PlayStation account on a PC, and be able to delete straight from the account items purchased in Home.

Tis an idea. And it should work on load up. Though if you wanted that deleted item back, you would have to repurchase it.

It is all the more reason we should focus on improving what we have with a search function instead. It won’t likely speed up logging into Home, but what are the odds we’ll stumble upon something that will better it? At the very least, a Davy Jone’s Locker for those items we deem unwearable and atrocious will speed up the loading of the other two levels.

Although now I’m curious how fast a speed function will be . . .
