[Official] Playstation Home


Recommended Posts

Buying stuff like that online would die down eventually, it?s new and fresh but after you spend like $30.00 to $40.00 bucks you realize that it's just not worth it.

Just look what happen to 360, theme and gamerpic etc they put everything on sale and I rarely see anyone with a gamerpic which was bought. I understand Sony has to generate money somehow, since they aren't charging for PSN and the cost of developing home.

Microsoft "will not be using Home"

Microsoft has dismissed reports that it's planning to use Sony's PS3 virtual world Home to host business meetings.

"Microsoft will not be using Home as a tool for virtual meetings," the company told us following a recent report to the contrary.

Last week GAAP claimed MS would be one of a number of big companies using Home for meetings in a bid to reduce costs and carbon emissions, but according to the platform holder it's perfectly capable of staging its own virtual bashes.

"With fantastic Microsoft-developed products and applications like Live Meeting and even Xbox Live Party, we have everything we need to host a virtual meeting in-house," it said.

We were sceptical about the original report, and clearly with good reason.

CVG

LMFAO, why would they use home anyway?!

Would probably be like 2 hours of;

"Hey can you guys hear me?"

"You are breaking up"

"Should be fixed now, welcome to our first business meeting within Playstat ..."

"WHAT?"

"Someone is pumping in my face, could we get rid of him?"

"Where did John go?"

"John got disconnected"

"Where did Sarah go?"

"She ran from all the guys chasing her"

Would be a massive failure

So true :rofl:

And yes Jeremy, one of the godfathers of software and easily one of the most important companies in the world that ever was. Love them or hate them, can't deny they have shaped and changed the world with their products :yes:

Shall I start writing a list of the products Sony created ripped off ;)?

Or maybe the failed ventures they undertook? Both are getting pretty long these days :p

No, far too much level headed and thought provoking discussion will entail leaving us with 15 pages of unbiased and worthwhile discussion from the legions of business entrepreneurs, and highly rated gaming/financial analysts that reside on NW.

We've seen what joke posts and sarcasm does to threads in the gamers hangout, why not leave it out all together? Or at least try to.

So have Apple, and I would put their software (and hardware) well above that of any other company. MS have just ripped people off from day one, then monopolised, charged the earth, made a fortune, and now buy everything they want to win.

Not a great business model, although it is successful.

Does this comment of yours apply to DM's post as well then Brad? You only seemed to quote me ;)

Chill out man, me and DM are on a good vibe, he knows I'm pulling his leg :p

Yeah, I replied to you because it was the freshest post of the matter.

Still, someone who has jumped into a thread and flames people for arguing really doesn't do anything to help the matter at hand.

I am not starting a versus discussion between Apple and MS. I said MS is one of the godfathers of software and they are. So what is your problem now? This has absolutely nothing to do with Apple, why even bother bringing them up?

No problem at all. Just a friendly discussion. When you claim that MS are the godfathers (and you did originally) of software, that brings all software houses into the discussion as they are very much linked. I just stated my opinion that Apple are by far the most advanced software/hardware house and I would class them and Unix as the godfathers.

If you don't want to discuss that's fine.

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
