    I did, hours ago.
    Made a char, walked around, decorated a room, quit to never run it again.

    I got my code Nov 28th to be used by Dec 1st. I googled around for what it was, and left it at that.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    I just tried it, but it seems to be based on region and everyone's speaking in either Cantonese and Chinese. The only English speaking ones are from Singapore.....

    I thought there would be a lot of Korean speaking, but alas...its almost all English speaking people when I sign on.

    Even though its not that great, It could be used to like set up games or something...I'll make a club with the name "Gotwoot". Join if you like ^^

    ...scratch that. I m not paying to make one

    They need to hurry and add the "Launch/Setup Games" features.

    Home can be a place to find people to play your games with when you don't have any friends on to play.

    Yeah even a change of clothes requires a dollar. I'm not going to pay for any of this too, since there are better things to pay for. I tried a few rounds of pool and bowling, and it was pretty refreshing. A good break from the other "serious" games.

    It had that function? Damn, should have used that code then. I thought it was just a Sims knockoff.

    I've been in the beta for a month, and I really can't say I like or dislike Home. I like bowling and playing arcade games, when I can actually get on them. Other than that, Home seems like a lot of untapped potential. So I'll save my judgment for the future.

    Just let you guys know. You can unlock free items for Home, by playing the Namco Museum demo on the Japanese PSN.

    Get a Dual Fighter (let one of the yellow guys capture a ship then get it back by killing yellow guy) - 1 gift in Home
    Get Your Ship Captured & Destroy It - 1 gift in Home

    Dig-Dug
    Beat first stage - 1 gift in Home
    Get carrot in 1st stage - 1 gift in Home
    Get turnip in second stage - 1 gift in Home
    Kill 2 monsters with 1 rock - 1 gift in Home

    It happens during peak hours. Just try again a couple of times and you should get in.

    Well keep trying. It works for me, usually in less than 3 or 4 tries.

    Here's a clip which I thought was rather funny and yet sad at the same time.

    I can't believe Sony spent development time on this. What was the point? This defines new levels of boredom in an MMO. They should've left Second Life to the generally insane subcultures of the internet.

    Sony spend time on it to make stalking online, simple, easy and fun to use for all the social outcasts. -Snicker-
