What they were showing there with their "HD Movie Trailers" and such requires just too much bandwidth. Get used to "Entering apartment.

How about focusing on good games and exclusives and making the online component much more tight? Not a bad idea but definitely not a great idea either. www.hscene.com O.K idea ( it’s just the SIMS ) but it’s not a system sellar, I personally wouldn’t even consider this when buying a PS3.

Bob was supposed to dumb down Windows more than it already was. PlayStation home is a 'game' not an 'interface' - although it does have an interface in it :) HOME is like a mix of IRC and GuildWars town chat. :) Derrick Um, Bob doesn’t look or act anything like Home :)
