PS3 costs $299.

Perhaps it’s a marketing push? “Have an awesome living ROOM for only $299!”

My hope is that they’re relaunching Home and calling it Room with an emphasis on gaming or maybe just something that’s more compelling than Home is right now.

I can’t remember the last time I logged into Home and I have no intention of logging in any time soon. And I’m more a hardcore user so just imagine people that are casual gamers. They probably don’t even know what Home is. They probably reboot their system too thinking that Home causes crashes since it takes well over 10 seconds before you get the Home splash screen.
