Yeah but I'm guessing a ton of people are trying to log in and then logging everyone else out each time?

:laugh:

Very true, might as well give it a go though if you're desperate!

i think someone else should do it, so i can get home. :shiftyninja: :p

Well it seems home can be downloaded unlimitedly, which means if you can find someone with it, ask nicely, and maybe you can get it and download it and it wont take up one of the 5 Ps3 downlaods.

The problem is finding someone who is willing to let us downlaod it.

Any offers? me love you long time. :D

Just so you guys know it has to be someone who was selected for the beta.

People who it's shared to won't have Home listed under their PSN account downloads.

So even although I know have it, sadly I can't share :(

yeah i figured it had to be an original. that makes it harder to get lol

my kinda confused why they would make it a closed beta, when really its not,cause any one can get it. with just a little asking around.

They're testing server stress levels just now.

Plan will to be ramp up numbers heavily over a short time window, then if everything is okay, open it up.

Last thing they want to do is just open it up and the servers cave.

It's 77mb and pretty boring so I've heard from friends.

I think each area you visit after that is another 35mb+.

Wow, that is tiny! I was expecting it to of been alot bigger then that. Still it's good they kept the size down (although I'm not too worried about size, considering I still have ~170Gb free at the moment :p ) However, even at 77Mb (and ~35Mb+ for each area) it's going to take hours for me to download :/ I can see it now, walk to a new area 6 or 7 hours later after it downloads the file, I can go to that area :rofl: that is the one thing that really annoys me about the PS3, downloading off PSN is so damn slow!

It annoys me greatly when I buy a new game, put it in the PS3 and it says there is an update and several hours later it lets me play the game (even though the updates are relatively small, last one was about ~70Mb and took most of the evening to download...) the odd thing is everything else downloads quite fast, either wired or wireless (360, PC, iPod etc) end of rant :p

Definitely something at your end Xerxes if it genuinely takes hours to download things <100mb on a regular basis. Not everyone gets fast speeds off PSN, but hours for something less than 100mb is ridiculous.

Usual spiel from me, but do you have the required ports open?

Home was a 77mb download for me which took about 10-15 mins.

Each area is a download between around 20mb-35mb. These can be downloaded in the background to allow you to have control of whatever area you're in, until your download completes.

When you load Home though it reserves around 3GB of space for itself.

Yeah it is, but I do live in the technophobic/backwards country of Australia :rofl: :laugh:

Seriously though, that is a good point about the ports as it *might* be that. Simple things like that seem to slip my mind...I'll take a look tonight at my router settings see if that is causing it. Thanks for the tip (Y) (sometimes I just need someone to point out the obvious)

Most likely will be the ports.

These need to be open for the PS3

* TCP:

o 80

o 443

o 5223

* UDP:

o 3478

o 3479

o 3658 (voice chat)

Easiest thing to do though is setup a static IP on your PS3, and make that IP a DMZ on your router. Basically means any port the PS3 tries to use will become open for it.

Awesome, thx (Y) :happy:

That should be easy enough, I recently (well a few months back) upgraded my dodgy D-Link router with a Linksys one so setting that up should be a snap :) (on the D-Link it would of been a nightmare, as it had a habit of "forgetting" it's settings).

Ergh.

That is twice so far I have been given a user and password to download Home, the first time everyone was trying, and then someone changed the Password, and the second time I got a message with one but was an hour late for it, and that time someone had also changed the Password again.

F*****s, lol.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By Paul1979UK · Posted

      It depends, but it's also going to push more adoption of open source AI models that can run locally, I'm seeing a pattern among the US and China when it comes to closed and open source AI models, they close when they feel they have the advantage, open up when they feel they don't. This has little to do with security and everything to do with control, the irony is that the ones that do go open and get the community behind them are the ones that have the real control, hence why we keep seeing this seesaw from closed to open. Ultimately, it's far too dangerous to let any one country or corporation to control AI, which is why open source AI or AI you can run locally on your hardware is very likely going to be the future of AI over the long run, this is especially the case as AI becomes more powerful and useful for user, privacy, security and censorship will become more of an issue for users and businesses.
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      A person should only be required to click through to an article if they want to know more details. The headline should give basic facts. A basic fact would include the name of the service being shut down.
    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      That would probably be a good outcome, but it would also require other "features" be changed to comply, such as Auto play, scrolling, and advertising. Having the laws shift these platforms back to a socially responsible and useful places is a benefit for everyone. The addictive nature is the problem, and while many blame the individual, psychologists would suggest the platform is using a well trodden playbook to hook in more revenue..

      It was a rather nice rant as I rather dislike when people support the shitifcation of the Internet. My comment also factually applied the definition of "clickbait' to this headline unlike your comment. I have been reading this site for some 20 years now so I will call them out when they are doing carp they shouldn't be doing but thanks for your concern. You can't even do a search by headline anymore to do a quick search to find something because most of the titles lack all the relevant keywords that should be there.
