Over at Kotaku I posted about a surprise visit I had a chance to recently make to the PS3's still-in-beta Home service, which is supposed to be a virtual world social space for all Sony console owners once it launches.
The bottom line is that it was both hard to judge without other people in it and a bit underwhelming in its lack of significant new features since I saw it a year ago.
An excerpt from my write-up:
Now I know why they're not inviting the press yet. Home is still in its good-in-theory phase. In execution it's still lacking. I'm all for Betas having rough edges. That's the point. But I was surprised that the Home Beta doesn't seem to have that something special — the thing that yet makes it obvious it's going to be a hit.
