DrCheese Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thats been driving me crazy as well, wtf is it?! Me to, I haven't a clue what it is tho :s Coldgunner needs banning from Home. He was in it all of 15 mins before he decided to break out the Bluetooth headset and rick roll everyone in the mall :/ and yeah @ the complaints about adverts everywhere. It really does just feel like a way to advertise PSN games to you at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted December 1, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted December 1, 2008 Dunno how I got the bubble machine, it was just there in my inventory. Echochrome gives you it I believe. Or it's that icebreaker game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted December 1, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2008 It must be Ice Breaker because I haven't played Echochrome but have a bubble machine. For the last time, there is no trophies in Home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.KICK Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Thats been driving me crazy as well, wtf is it?! Is it not the sound of when people press start to bring their little gadget for the menu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted December 1, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2008 I dunno, there's always too many people around when I've been online. Its impossible to see what everyone is doing and where the sound is coming from. Its very annoying thats for sure.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bubble machine is in your Inventory from the start. There are PHYSICAL trophies/rewards in Home, but not those on your Trophy list shown on your profile card One on the left is Echochrome (Over 10,000 points) the one on the right is Ice Breaker (Beating Level 20) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunknMunky Veteran Posted December 1, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2008 There are PHYSICAL trophies/rewards in Home, but not those on your Trophy list shown on your profile card Thats what I mean. Hmm not such a good choice of word on Sony's part. I have a feeling we're gonna get a lot more confusion over the years now with "physical" trophies and profile trophies :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus ^i^ Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Anyone know if the zones in home are instanced, like areas in some mmorpgs where the server opens up for example Theatre2 when Theatre1 has met it's cap of people in it, like max 100 or something. I'd assume they will be doing this to reduce lag, but hope there will be an option to jump between instances if I want to meet up with a friend to play chess in the square or whatever, and we're stuck in different versions of the same area. Expecting comments about how this won't be a problem because Home will bomb and there will never be that many people in a zone at once :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted December 1, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 1, 2008 I was on a little at 2-3 this morning, helped a guy start a line of about 20-25 people all doing the running man while some other guy played some Prodigy song through his mic, lol. :p Then they decided to go outside, not realising that it wont send them all to the same Central Plaza. And also sat and talked to some people next to teh bridge across the lil river, played some eye spy, talked about trophies. Its fairly amusing to see guys chasing after female avatars, even if they have names like Steve and Phil. I also joined the two clubs and went in the clubhouses, its a pity we can't all leave notes on the boards, would be fun. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted December 2, 2008 Author Subscriber² Share Posted December 2, 2008 Red Bull becomes first brand on PlayStation Home LONDON - Red Bull has become the first brand to build a presence in PlayStation Home, Sony's much anticipated virtual world, Revolution can reveal. Red Bull has built a tropical island, featuring an aeroplane racing game based on Red Bull's real world Red Bull Air Race series. Home is currently under construction and likely to be opened up for public testing before the end of 2008. The virtual world will enable gamers to create avatars, interact with each other, create their own apartments, play games, and stream video and music, by connecting to the internet through their PS3 consoles. John Beasley, brand marketing manager for Red Bull UK said Home represents an opportunity for brands to create "memorable and rich content". "The game gave us the first opportunity to recreate in the gaming world what we try to do in the real world, which is to facilitate interaction, to give people stories, memories, experiences and a really good opportunity to interact with the brand," he said. Beasley said Home will show marketers how in-game advertising can be used effectively and will open up the medium to more brands. "It's an easy environment for brands to take that first step into gaming," he added. Sony has set up Home so that gamers and brands can "generate significant revenues", but has not revealed details of brands it is working with. A spokesman for Sony said that brand partnerships for Home will be announced at a later date.
