Will the clubs need to be remade today then? Who's going to pony up the cash to do that?

I'm the same. It's more the responsibility that I don't want as opposed to paying for it (assuming it's not ridiculously expensive that is). I wonder if club members be able to buy furnishings and clubhouses or will it all be left to the founder?

I downloaded the patch about 4 hours ago.

Except that gmail had all its functionality available and ready right from the start whereas home hasn't.

Naaa, they said home will be down for two to three hours. Kepping in mind that those are IT-hours, you have to multiply them with at least 1,5 to get real time

Wait, you're talking about the EU release right?
I'm in EST US and I thought they said 6pm (3pm PST). You're getting my hopes up
Also, I could not find the mall in Jappy Home. I found Famitsu's office with the Necky statue (at least, I think that was Famitsu's office), but no store. Even found the movie theater... is there even a mall? And the lag, omg... and it was empty too.

Official board says this:

It's 13.16 now, so I guess it could be up to a couple more hours..gofreak said:
I don't think you understand the concept of a theater. Sure, they *could* have a play menu available but that would defeat the purpose of community viewing. I guess it would be cool if they had seperate rooms, one where you can watch with play controls and one where you could watch with friends via live streaming, but the concept they have now is still pretty interesting.

As far as I could tell in the EU theatre last night (the new one), you're put into a theatre on your own. You don't even see your own avatar, the camera is just fixed looking at the screen, with two options: zoom, and exit. In that context, not having playback control is just silly.
For multi-episode content, no control over which is played at all, even in a communal theatre, is a pain. Well, more than that, it's just completely impractical unless you sit down and watch everything all together in one go. Like, if I started watching Hexus episode 1, then left, and came back and wanted to watch hexus episode 2..as things are now..I'd have to watch episode 1 all over again first.
Even in the earlier communal theatres on the US version, video wasn't synched to what others were seeing. It'd just load and play from scratch for you. Presumably others in the room could be at different points in the video than you, given that they'd have arrived at different times than you, and have had their video start at different times. So even there, having personal playback control makes sense.
On the other hand, not having the synched playback kind of makes being in the theatre with others a bit silly..if not annoying..so i can see why in the new version you go in on your own. Imagine being in a theatre and someone else further along in a video spoiling the plot or something..
This is again why Home needs an explicit party system within home. So that my group can go into a theatre together as a group and have the video playback synched. Joining other people in a theatre instance ad hoc, as it was in the old US theatre, doesn't work because playback then has to be not synchronised so that each person can watch the whole video..
That's an aside to the interface issue, though.

Not even close. Gmail was not a great email program at the get go and its early beta stages. That's why magazines and websites panned it. As they picked up steam, within the first 6-9 months and added features and ironed out bugs then it became more and more powerful and the praise started coming.

It's not coming in an update, nor will it be on the PS Store.
It will "appear" on your XMB when it is launched, on the PS Network tab, just above the PlayStation Store as a Blue Home icon.
If your PS3 is turned on when they hit the "go" button then you will need to reboot your PS3 to see it.

Judging by the theatre update in the EU yesterday, I think they're addressing this in a much hackier fashion - by putting you in the theatre on your own.
And it's not like Sony hasn't known about this kind of issue for a long time. I remember others long ago in the beta saying that theatres were actually single-person affairs.
And moreover, all of these issues ought to raise themselves immediately to anyone just using the system.
It's another one of those things to add to the list of stuff that makes you wonder just how much is going on in the Home team, or just how (un)aware Sony is of its own product. The lack of playback control alone in single-person theatres is staggering, and is another UI faux pas that makes an absolute mockery of Sony London's self-professed claim to UI expertise and so forth. Putting content like Hexus and Eurogamer in there without such controls reeks of absolute incompetence to be perfectly honest. It really makes you wonder just how much 'personal oversight' Kaz Hirai had over this, and just wtf was going on during all the extra months of delay they had. Cos if Kaz Hirai looked at that theatre setup and said "yeah, that's good enough now", then...
Now, there's concepts in Home I love, as I've outlined before. But Sony does themselves no favours with some of the execution in there right now. I honestly think the Home team probably only has a few coders on it, and swathes of artists. They need more coders, because they seem spread far too thinly, resulting in these terrible gaps in functionality.

The OP stated that you will have to reboot your PS3 (if it's already on) and the icon will appear in the PSN bar.
