It's weird that's not available day 1 since it was already up in the closed beta.

Yeah I kind of missed that. I heard they took it out by the time I received my American code

What GAFer will be stupid enough to fork up the cash to buy a GAF clubhouse? :lol

The beta testers have a free clubhouse slip. I snagged mine at least. I could make it and be king of Gaf Home.

Are you sure you ain't talking about the free Summer House condo? I don't think it's the same thing as a clubhouse.

A club is an organization for users that share the same objectives.

・You have to purchase a club before using it. But during Closed Beta test you can use it for free.
・Each user account can only create one club.
・The maximum number of members for each club is 32, including the creator.
・The maximum number of clubs each user can join is 5, including the one created by that user.
Note: if you have joined 5 clubs already, then you cannot create your own club.

※ To learn more about how to create a club, please refer to Menu Pad > “Help” > “Clubs”.
※ You have to set up your PlayStation®Network wallet before purchasing a club.
※ Club is a service that requires regular payment. During Closed Beta test users can enjoy this service free of charge.
※ Note: all the clubs and clubhouses will be deleted at the end of Closed Beta test.

Where did you get the "slip"?

No the little club room that you can put bulletin boards up and put notes on it. Looks like something for clans.

Not really excited after trying the beta, it needs a ton of work to be worthwhile. Will try out the Red Bull plane minigame though.

Am I reading the PR right or is Far Cry 2 the only game space that will be available at launch?

Taken from the press release.
For users in North America, Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) will launch game themed high-definition virtual environments including the Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune™ and Far Cry 2 spaces and the soon to be released Warhawk™, Resistance, Guitar Hero® and SOCOM spaces. In these environments, users will discuss specific games, plan strategies and access content and clues that will enhance their gaming experience. Through these virtual environments, publishers will be able to increase and extend consumer interest in their game titles via new mediums of game play. SCEA is partnering with Activision, Disney Eidos, Electronic Arts, Lucas Arts, THQ and UBISOFT, to develop virtual environments among other content for PlayStation Home.

They forgot to mention Capcom in their PR. Street Fighter IV and RE5 spaces will go live during the week of game releases. Though I guess the PR could just cover really near future.
 
Glad to see it's finally getting released. I hope that when it launches tomorrow there's a ton more stuff added.

Also depending on how much they cost I wouldn't mind paying for a GAF clubhouse.
I already plan to spend on adding things to my summer house (depending on the cost of course)
 
PlayStation Home Theatre will provide lifestyle technology programming from Hexus TV, gaming content from Eurogamer and exclusive film content from Paramount Pictures. Starting with the release of the highly anticipated film, Watchmen, Paramount Pictures International will use PlayStation®Home to promote its latest films. Initially, PlayStation®Home residents will be able to view an exclusive video greeting from Watchmen Director Zack Snyder as well as the latest Watchmen trailer. A selection of virtual Watchmen merchandise e.g. T-Shirts with the smiley face logo, Doomsday clocks and character statues, will also be available in the New Year, ahead of an exclusive Q & A event where cast and filmmakers will meet selected press and competition winners fans within the Watchmen themed environment.

Consider my mind blown. Well sort of (shouldn't really be a surprise after the relatively large beta).

I'm most excited about game launching. Awesome.

Bring it on Sony.

EDIT: Hey, that Wollan post is the sort of thing I, me, slider, was envisaging... 'cept I kept banging on about music bands having their own space and occasionally turning up to do Q&A sessions. Woo!

free i hope :o


unlockable watchmen costumes from the game would be nice
 
So Europe and the US get the good stuff, while I assume Canada gets the stick again when it comes to movie content. Grrr.

First of all, the Central Plaza now features a new 4 player mini-game called “Saucer Pop,” where each player launches a flying saucer from a take-off pad and flies around popping bubbles. These bubbles contain stars that have points attached, but watch out for the bubbles with bombs which will take you out if you’re not careful. You also must keep an eye on your saucer’s fuel gauge and collect bubbles with fuel cells or else you will quickly meet a watery fate. Success is all about the high scores, so good luck out there! I’ve been playing for a while now while we’ve been developing the game, so I’m getting pretty good…for those of you that know me, prepare to pop!

Secondly, you will also see some changes to Listen@Home. Now, you’ll be able to select from a number of songs and vote on your favorites. Which ever song gets the most votes plays for everyone, so be sure to get your voice heard and get down on the dance floor.

:o
 
Gotta love the physics of the Red Bull plane. It's like a man with Parkinsons trying to emulate an airplane with his hand. :p

There's a video there showing the Red Bull space and flight game in action.

Is this redbull thing up tomorrow?, first thing ive seen in home that looks fun having been in the beta for awhile.
 
The beta is dull and can't imagine what they can add to make it interesting. Boring characters that lack charm and lots of loading...not really fun.
 
Great news:D

If Red Bull can make a Home game that well just think what the game people like Capcom could make!

Loading is expected with a 3d world.This is not a 2d XMB where you do nothing:D

The loading in Home is atrocious. Not just the time it takes, but the number of clicks it takes to actually be in Home. First you click home. Then you see a loading progress bar. Then you see a Home logo page. Then you must click again. Then you see a message of the day. Then you click again to dismiss. Then you see another progress bar. Eventually several minutes later you're in Home. Then there are edge cases such as launching Home for the first time or without signing onto PSN first which add even more clicks.

From the moment somebody launches Home they should be required to click precisely 0 more times in a standard startup to reach a zone and it should take 60 seconds flat. If there is a message of the day or some other notification show it should show as Home is loading, or after a person has already appeared in their zone.

It's a basic usability issue. Home should be a natural extension of the XMB, not some pain in the ass app which is a bother to start.
 
^ Very well put.




Needs more Game/Themed spaces. Atm i only log in when limited free stuff is available or new arcade games appear. They need to make reasons for me to want to go there and waste my time navigating around.


With all the new people getting on Home that should help them get a shitload of feedback atleast and get shit done (Been 2 years?)

Yeah the loading times in Home are really bad. Not just the initial load but having to go through 10 second loads through each room (thats on top of having to manually download every area you visit the first time).

You're even missing a few clicks I think - I'm pretty sure they show a "HDD warning" message every time that requires you to press X to dismiss (at least for me).
 
YES!!!!! FINALLY I'LL BE ALLOWED INTO THE BETA!!!!!

Finally I won't be a second citizen anymore and will watch all those left out with disdain flowing in my veins mwahahahahahahhahahahhahaaaaaaaaa. I shall feast on the wonders of HOME and laugh while sniping at those left outside the vault with their pathetic screams of "Let us in"!!!


Oh wait..
