HomeStation Magazine prides itself on being the most literate, mature journalism project devoted to Home, PSN, and Sony in general. What stories would *you* like to see covered?

Please keep in mind: HSM is a Home-positive and Sony-positive publication. We don't shy away from criticism, but we're also not out to slam Sony. We think Home's pretty nifty...

Hi NorseGamer and everyone,
I would love to see a story on if and or when EA poker rooms will come back. And why they were taken down in the first place. This EA poker junky has gone through withdrawals long enough. I have virtual chips to plunder! I miss it more than... well.... more than....ah... well more than Similes or Metaphors could express! I'm sure Norse could come up with one.
I bought the poler table that you can use in your own personal space but its not the same. In the EA rooms I knew someone at every table almost and didn't have to friend them because I knew I would joust on felt with them tomorrow... then...poof, no more poker rooms. Please don't make me have to go through a 12 step program to get over this. Bring back public poker so I can put on my po po po pokerface!

I'd like to see an interview with a sony official,doesn't matter who as long as they can give the official viewpoint,that would try to find out what upgrades they are planning for home.Examples:will we get expanded friends lists?,will we ever get to bring in music to our personal spaces?will we get a club menu that functions like it used 2?will we ever get expanded actions?will we ever get to transfer funds from 1 account to another? I'm sure you guys could add-on to the wish list,if they decided to do nothing with any of these i'd still use home but if we had these things/improvements home would be even better.

I think most of those things are non-Home related questions, i.e friends lists, fund transfers etc.

On Home client updates, an official at Sony won't be able to comment on specific new features in Home unless it's already been announced. Everything has a marketing and PR plan and will be usually published through official channels first.

Even the developers cannot tell you anything without submitting it for review to Sony and Sony's legal dept. first and then waiting weeks for a reply. There are good reasons for this: Sony is competing with other gaming platforms and do not want to tip their hand. The same with the developers: it is a tough business world out there and they have to protect their interests. Plus, the legal dept. is well aware that a lot of people in this world, especially in the USA, just look for any reason to bring a lawsuit against a major corporation. Even a 'nuisance' suit might get a settlement because it is cheaper than going to court even if you win the case. So _ I really cannot fault any of them for playing cards close to the chest.

Well some of those questions might not be home specific but they do have a function on home.As for the legalese i understand the need for secrecy,i wouldn't expect any details of trade secrets,just hoping for some light at the end of the tunnel.I think that even if it was a very vague and guarded answer it would still give us hope.If they could announce the trophy room,yes i know it's really got another name but at the moment it eludes me,way b4 it's time if it ever comes at all why not give us a crumb about the club menus?They may try to avoid these questions out of fear of a repeat of that trophy room headache but then again maybe they would give more than any1 dreamed,never know til' the questions are asked.
