How many of you currently use Home?
To be quite honest, I hate it... I find it quite useless to walk around and talk to people. If I use my PS3, I use it for gaming and media streaming!
I used it about 2-3 times before I got completely bored!

I'd rather use forums to meet people, and meeting people I know IRL on home is redundant =P. Still is pretty fun to use every now and then, Sony needs to improve the service before I find a reason to use it.

I used it quite a bit in the beta, but I haven't once since it came out. Just never felt the need too I guess. Seems pretty useless to me.

My girlfriend and I made a person for her once and then we went to the mall and stood in the middle of a fountain and just stood... within 15 seconds 2 guys walked up hitting on her, so she left and went to a different part and just stood...less then 10 seconds 2 more guys were all up on hitting on her. We haven't been on since.

Unless they come out with interesting features, I dont think there is a point to it besides socializing, which is not the way I socialize

I don't hate it, but I don't use it. I've used it I think 4 or 5 times, twice during the beta, and 3 other times just to show some of my friends new to the PS3 what Home was about. Maybe I would use it if it had better stuff... Like the music and video streaming, and the game launching, and the trophy stuff... And if more devs supported it.

Not much at all, having that annoying "Chain swing" song playing all the time doesnt help matters
I only go on the japanese server

i dont use it much
I'm curious about XI so more than I have been. Still wish that you didn't have to pay for EVERY slightly cool thing though. IF they bring back some features it can be excellent.

to be honest, I downloaded it, tried it once, then got rid of it because I thought it was boring

honestly, I think that theres better stuff to use space on my hard drive on, thats just my opinion though, I don't mean to insult people who do like it

Once in awhile I'll use it when I don't feel like playing anything else and have a bowling fix, but I never played for more than an hour unless I'm using it with friends and all we do then is bowl or play pool. I think in total my use amounts to less than 20 times.

i probably get on every once in a while just to see what is new and see if they have updated anything but nothing really keeps me coming back yet

I think I have visited Home like 3 or 4 times. It honestly seems click'ish. I have tried going around and meeting people but some people don't seem interested. I think I have 2 people in my friends list that I met at Home. For a place that is built on socialbility it doesn't seem social to me.

i have only one person on my friends list that i met bowling in home. but that was back when you could talk to people with your headset and now it just seems pointless to me

It's definitely not very social, people only really start talking to each other it seems in the bowling alley and there it's pretty standard, where do you live, are you really a girl (since so many in Home aren't really) and maybe what's your name. Otherwise all you see is people gathering around the "girls" and asking the questions or simply playing the mini games by themselves.

having that awful "Chain Swing" song playing all the time doesnt make me ever desire to
spend any time in home

What i think is that if you wanna socialize you can just go on a website and look in forums

me as well
maybe the reason why I don't use home is because my friends rarely use it as well, it takes a while to load and I would rather play a game to meet new people who play the same game as me.
For me, if I wanna talk to someone, I would rather just go on Facebook and talk to someone that I actually know.
These are just my opinions on why I rarely use home, but I will go on if a few of my friends are on it though
