PlayStation Home General Discussion

[nuclear_predator]

I really like home but to me, it feels really segregated from the XMB and actual games. You can use XMB features inside Home, but you cant use Home features on the XMB. It feels really sort of... one way, its hard to explain. Anything you can do in Home (within reason, eg Clubs) should be accessible from the XMB. A few ideas for this:

• Pressing triangle over a game in your PS3 with an area inside Home should have a 'Visit Home Space' option
• Clubs option under the PSN section, search clubs, join clubs, currently joined clubs etc., then from there, there could be the option to visit a Clubhouse by pressing Triangle over a clubs name.
• Game launching between friends on the Friends section.
• Options to join friends in Home direct from XMB. Eg. press Triangle over a friends name and have options to 'Join friend in Home', 'Visit Home Space' etc.
• When a friend is in Home, under their name on the friends list, it should not show the little controller icon next to what they're playing, but it should show the Home icon, as Home isnt a game...

Thats all I can think of now really, but yeah, I think more XMB integration is needed as Home feels to distant from it Other than that, I love it! ;D

When a friend is in Home, under their name on the friends list, it should not show the little controller icon next to what they're playing, but it should show the Home icon, as Home isnt a game... and it should say what section ie: home square.

Good post i agree with all of it.
