[Official] Playstation Home

I wish that Home would either continue your queued downloads in the XMB or cache videos etc while the connection is not being used.

Wow, this thread died especially after Home just came out :unsure:

I haven't used it since the day I DL'ed lol

I think maybe in 2 or 3 years it will be worth logging in for, but for now I almost think it's doing more damage than good to Sony.

Sony Computer Entertainment will conduct system maintenance for PlayStation Home on Thursday, December 18, 2008. At this time PlayStation Home will be updated from ver. 1.03 to 1.04. The system maintenance is scheduled to start at 8am UK, and the service is expected to resume in approximately 6 hours but may change depending on the circumstances. PlayStation Home will be unavailable during the maintenance window.

The reason for this maintenance is to ease the difficulty some people are having accessing PlayStation Home due to the high demand for the service.

Additionally, as part of version 1.04, the voice chat feature within PlayStation Home will be temporarily suspended. As soon as we are ready to resume the voice chat feature, we will inform you via PlayStation.com and PlayStation.Blog. In the meantime, we encourage users to make use of the Wireless Keypad for PLAYSTATION 3 or any USB or Bluetooth-enabled keyboard for text chat and also the “phone friend” features to communicate within PlayStation Home.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and kindly ask for your understanding.

Seems like voice chat is going down till they can find a way to better moderate all the abuse.

Probably end up being private 1-1 voice chat, group voice chat, public voice chat when on a public event (bowling/chess/etc)...

Who knows, but many are complaining about abuse/sexual harassment and annoyance over the mics, and because it's not logged like chat/text, many get away with it.

Guess they gotta sort it out one way or another.

[Sethos]

The current mic. support is seriously broken. Kept pressing the talk button while me and munkeh was playing, nothing. Then in a certain area we could hear each other and then suddenly it didn't work again.

There goes my Haddarolling career...

=============================================================

Sony's PS3 virtual world, Home, has already been hacked, with developers having discovered ways to exploit vulnerabilities within the software's code.

According to reports in the Telegraph this week, the hack allowed the developers "to customise their PlayStation Home experience beyond the options provided by Sony."

The report continues: "One hack uses a combination of the Apache web server and DNS re-direction to allow users of PlayStation Home to watch their own movies on display screens within the game, and change text and music to whatever they choose.

"A second hack enables players to download any file they want from PlayStation Home's servers, such as a fellow user's profile or avatar, the cartoon-like representation of themselves they create to appear in the virtual world."

=============================================================

Well, atleast the hackers had fun out of this.... its not like everyone was bummed out :p :ninja:

After updating to 1.0.4 I was finally able to get in the first time I tried, had to download each of the sections (shopping, bowling, main centre, etc) again tho, not much hassle as the downloads whizzed by.

Also accepted the Neowin club invite, wasn't able to look in the clubhouse though because it said some club features where currently offline.

[Coldgunner]

*ahem*

invite to the club please? :p

The DIESEL and ligne roset shops are now open in the mall

DIESEL = 17 tops for Men, and only 4 for Women. (?1.59 each)

ligne roset = 3 Chairs, and 4 Tables. (?1.59 each) 1 Table and 1 Chair are available for free

Few new items in the standard furniture and clothes stores too. (dunno how long they have been there)

[t0mbi]

Good call Si_ :)

Must have missed that. Back to the mall I go :whistle:

Thankfully you don't have to use it, or buy the content.

Supposedly 1 or 2 of the furniture items are free as well.

It was always known the clothes and what not would be paid with some free, especially obvious it's going to be like that if we're talking designer brands. So I dunno what the surprise is there.

But not giving everyone at least a free santa hat to celebrate christmas (okay charge for the whole suit), is bollocks (N)

By the way, supposedly the Asian Home Square has a big Christmas tree up, and there's snow!

[null.]

Just logged on before, and my Pac-man t-shirt (and other clothing unlocked from the JP Namco arcade games) were gone. Haven't checked my room to see if the items are still there yet, I got bored. :/

Cool :woot:

You did backup your stuff off the HDD, I'm told when you put it in the new one it'll format anyway, whether it was already used in a PS3 or not.

Yeah it formats it.

I went from a 60GB to 40GB myself in the past.

Corris, what possessed you to fail this hard and post LBP trophies in the Home thread? :laugh:

Not to mention those trophies have already been posted in the LBP thread :p

It's late, get to bed.

We know only Scots can function in the early hours, the Welsh, English and Irish have no chance.

Its the sheep, they be wearing us out over here. :p

I dunno, that's so weird, I opened the LBP one and was reading through it and it wasn't posted, very peculiar. O.o

I know what it was, I had left the thread open from earlier, its why I missed you posting them, but I haven't the foggiest how I confused the two topics, lol.

By the way, word is more beards were added to home! :o

Haha, I can't check till tomorrow.
