AOTS not impressed with Home, are you?

While I haven’t personally tested out Playstation’s new Home service, word has it, it’s not all that great. But I mean really, what did we expect? It’s basically a clone of Second Life is it not? And is that really that fun?

I mean sure it’s cool and all to be able to virtually be in the same room as your friends before you play a game together, but did the hype deliver? Attack of the Show’s Kevin Pereira and Olivia Munn don’t seem to think so, according to the above video. Neither did Ripten, stating that, after walking around in the virtual world, it’s straight up boring.

Sure, you can make claims of Microsoft fanboyism, but Home wouldn’t be under such scrutiny if it hadn’t been touted as the “Xbox Live Killer” or something similar. I mean, when Halo 3 got released there were tons of disappointed fans, but I think Home was in development a bit longer than Halo 3 (read: forever). So what do you think, PS3 owners, is Home all it’s cracked up to be?
