While the service has notched millions of users under its belt, quite a few fans have found Home to be less than hospitable. Here are the folks without Home:

For many of the respondents, their most striking PlayStation Home memories involved getting hit on. It's certainly a social network, and these folks are the proof:

@GamePro In PS Home, it's always fun to watch the 12 year old kids flirt with girls, who probably aren't even girls.less than a minute ago via web

Our winner for the top tweet of the day is solidejake, who lays claim to creating one of the biggest movements within Home--literally. For Jake, we have a PlayStation 3 Bluetooth Headset so that he may better communicate his dancing plans to the populace. Congrats, Jake--please send a direct message to GamePro on Twitter to claim your prize:
@GamePro My best Home experience was starting a very large Running-Man Train. I felt accomplished that I was the one that started it.less than a minute ago via web

As you can see, the consensus on PlayStation Home is very divided. While plenty disparage the product, it's plain to see that the people that enjoy Home are truly engaged with the service. It may not be the PlayStation 3's killer app, but Sony has definitely found a place for Home.
Thanks go out to the many respondents today and to PlayStation on Twitter for retweeting the call for responses. What do you think of the responses above? Do you have any of your own memories to share? If so, please continue the conversation by responding in the comment section below or by replying to GamePro on Twitter.
