Playstation Home

So I gave away my beta access code to some PS3 enthusiast over at the EDGE forum cos he seemed to want it so much more than I do.. I hardly get enough time to game let alone wander around dancing with virtual avatars.

Your exclusive invitation to join us in PlayStation Home

I have been e.mailed an exclusive promotional code!

Sadly I'm not sure I can be bothered.

Trophy or not Trophy

That is the question.

I'm finding that playing a bit of WipeOut HD is the perfect way to fill small gaps in the day.. You can boot it up, play for 15 minutes, win a couple of medals and come away happy (Well as happy as you can be with you're eyes watering from the super fast HD 1080p 60 fps eye orgy anyway) and feel like you've accomplished something.

It's also the first PS3 game I've got that supports Sony's new Trophy system. It's certainly not as compulsive as Achievements and Gamerscore. In fact it's a bit something of nothing really. The Gamerscore from 360, with it's running total, has a point.. You can see at a glance of someone's gamercard how much of a life they have if nothing else.. Perhaps we'll have to wait and see how they're intergrated in Home for the full effect. I just can't escape the feeling it's all a bit half assed.
