Might have been fun when I was 6 years old.

And I’m loving it!

Plus demand.

The region-free option was available in Home until users abused it with malicious intent, from glitching to hacking (ISE) items, especially the store exclusive items that weren’t in the proper regions.

Though the Sony Store idea in Home is good, Home is a separate application and everything still has to go through Sony for approval.

Market Research has been used on Home, especially when it comes to fashion trends and popular personal space designs.

Dynamic Lighting takes memory and space. If you’re prepared for in-Home crashes several times over, ten I’m down for it. That’s a risk I’m sure SCEA Home developers aren’t willing to take at this time.

Events take community effort. Whereas the social spectrum in SCEE is rather large, SCEA is divided in organizations. If no one is willing to pull for the community (but rather, in contrast to themselves), then it’s not much of an event at all. There are great websites (Alphazone4, this very organization, and Twilight Touch) that hosts quality events, but it’s up to the users to utilize what they have to see for themselves.

In my personal opinion, there needs to be a polish for Home to be accessible. Unless they give us back the golden days, we have to let that past go and move forward to greater possibilities. It’s not to say they aren’t trying. Not at all, but you have to at least appreciate what they are doing at least.

LKWD Life is a sure step-up towards bringing fresh air to a waning interest. I definitely see the program flourishing into new heights that’ll bring in sales and proper research to see where the money trails, while giving the community what’s being demanded.

tl;dr: give Sony a chance. They are, at least, listening, if not teh developers themselves.

Sony have dropped the ball badly with Home. Yes, new content is being created, and the developers are to be applauded. I listed a number of ideas on another website on what Sony should do with Home, which I reproduced below:
1) Should be region-free. As a SCEE user, I can only go on the SCEE home -- I should be able to visit US and Asia regions as a visitor. Maybe even buying some virtual tat to take “home”
2) Shopping mall should have a Sony store. The flagship Sony store in Tokyo should be available in all regions with the ability to buy virtual Sony goods (tvs, stereos, etc) for your apartment
3) Links to real-world goods. Ok, so there is the Diesel store and they could add the Sony store, plus any number of others. Clicking on say a Diesel t-shirt that you can buy for 79p, also gives you the option to go to the Diesel website and buy the real thing for yourself.
4) Market research. The demographic that uses Home is a high value one as they have money to spend. Use their browsing/purchasing habits as market analytics for companies to determine how popular an item will be before launching it.
5) Make it portable. Create a portal (PC, Vita) where you can find out what is happening in Home without being logged in (although not interact)
6) Dynamic lighting model -- use system time to set night/day cycles
7) More events: fashion shows, pop concerts, etc
