PS3 Home

[ReneX]

i was soooo hyped when i first heard of home , dont want to sound like a fanboy, i own both 360 and ps3 ( also a gaming-not-to-powerful pc) , but sony promise me a lot of stuff and they didnt bring all that, im not angry.... im just dissapointed....

Since all my friends have home its fun. But I can see why its so boring by ones self.

 

[user friendly]

Anyone wanna share with me :neutral:

I wanna fiddle.

EDIT

Thanks Sinfulfate!

Cooguy just gave it to me. It's pretty nice, and once more people get on there's alot you can do with it. Character creation sucks ass, but besides that I don't have many complaints.

Same way you share anything.

Supposedly Home will be out on the 17th.

Seems a bit odd as the store updates on Thursday not Wednesday.

Sony has made exceptions in the past.

I know, also most fw updates come out on Wednesdays so perhaps it will come as part of yet another firmware update.

How big is the beta? ( file size )

I don't remember the download size but it requires 3GB to be "reserved" on your hard drive for downloading the different areas in Home.

 

[PSPHax0r9]

It's 77MB for the original download.

Yeah, but I can definitely see the potential for using this as a game-gathering/planning tool. Also, the minigames are fun, like bowling, pool, and echochrome. It will also be exciting to see the individual game spaces and what they have to offer, along with 3D trophies. Overall, everything seems to work well so they have a solid foundation, now let's just see how well game launching can be implemented and how much effort the devs put into making spaces and 3D trophies for their games.

did you guys see that some stores have items in them..?

I'd sorta prefer a steam-like system, but that's not going to happen I guess.
What do I mean by that?

That's a screenshot of Steam with the friendslist and server info screen open. With Steam, I can check what games my friends are playing, click join game, and it does the rest.
Home is just much more hassle to achieve the same thing. Steam also lets you call up a serverlist for all the games you have bought on steam and launch straight into a server that'll work. If Sony could get an out-of-game feature like that, even if it's just for Warhawk, I will be very, very impresed.

If Sony did that tho the xbots would start screaming how they're ripping off XBL. Which to be honest wouldn't be a bad thing.

It would have to be doable from the xmb tho. Loading home just to do that would be a pain.

I want a option to jump straight into the room that someones in in a game.


also. does Home need to download each place before you enter it?

A one time install for each section you visit.

Isn't home supposed to be intergrated to the XMB? Anyway, I wouldn't give a damn about the xbots, they probably ripped it from Steam in the first place.
