PS3 Home Official Thread

Crisis said:
Hey guys. Home is up in the United States. And it's rated eC. :lol
Ya, noticed that too. :lol
 
I should note that Home is only up for people that are already in the beta. There doesn't seem to be anything in terms of being able to download the user client yet. Probably really shortly I imagine.
 
I think the eC refers to the saucer pop* game or something, because it says "Based on a game rated by the ESRB".

EDIT: Wow the new Plaza looks great.
EDIT2: Saucer Pop's pretty fun. It's kinda laggy because everyone's around the fountain at the moment watching, but... yeah... pretty cool game.
 
Well, saucer pop looks cool..but boy do I suck at it..

It's pretty neat playing an embedded game like that and seeing everyone around etc..

Remember Remember the 11th of December

That day I left work early to go home and sit in front of a PS3 that was doing nothing for several hours while reading and posting on GAF.

Those were the days! *wipes a tear from eye*

EC as in Early Childhood?

I wonder how many people will complain when their kids hear the profanity thats about to let loose!

If there is profanity you're encouraged to report it to the in-Home mods. Moderation is taken pretty seriously.
 
It may just be my imagination, but I think load times might be a little faster now with space loading. I just left the theatre for the central plaza, and it was ready faster than I expected based on the previous beta.

It might only be my imagination though, I'd be curious if anyone else thinks so..

Is it open voice or text?


Both. There's a filter on text though, I think. I've never actually heard anyone swear in home though, over voice.
 
I can't believe the prices of their virtual shit!

99 Cents for a brown chair! 4,99 EURO for the summer house!

They completely lost their mind if they really think someone will buy this shit for that amount of money
 
Oh boy. They may have fucked up Clubs. It costs $4.99 to have a club period. Not just for the Clubhouse. And it's $4.99 right now but they explicitly say they're going to have an undetermined fee in the future that will be due every thirty days.
 
When someone not previously in the Beta sees the Home icon please shout out.
(You need to reboot the machine after it's turned On to see it)
 
There don't seem to be any new items in the stores either..which is a bit meh..even if they are slightly pricey :p I was hoping for some 'stuff' items at least.

Same, if you hear or see profanity you're encouraged to report it. People will be temporarily banned I would imagine for first offense, and so on. Good rule of thumb is just don't say it if you're in doubt.

Whut?
"Welcome to digital rent, but we haven't even decided how much we'll charge you..."
 
The world view is interesting in that the way it's arranged suggests games can actually have multiple spaces..indeed Far Cry 2 seems to have 2 currently.

edit - also, different esrb ratings come up when you go to different spaces..the far cry 2 one has a M rating, I guess based on the game.

Weird. So basically, buy the club and it's always yours. But you can't actually use it unless you pay the monthly fee. Poor taste.

Fucking Sony - Can't beleive they didn't work out the media use before the Open Beta release. No picture frames, TVs, Radios.

TV and Music streaming is not in there yet, and may not be. Legalities, legalities..
 
Is there a full-screen mode in the theater?

That's not an excuse. This has been announced for almost two years now and they've had plenty of time to iron out the issues. At least they could've made the media personal only (i.e. - not shown for other users but yourself). As is - the Home apt is a barren ikea wankroom.
