Playstation Home

[rockmanj]

Did anyone get the open beta yet?

[darkshadow]

I did, hours ago.
Made a char, walked around, decorated a room, quit to never run it again.

I got my code Nov 28th to be used by Dec 1st. I googled around for what it was, and left it at that.

Home is awesome.

[rockmanj]

Hmm, it was kinda meh. I played quite a few games of pool though. Anyway, if you want to add me on the PSN my id is rockmanj.

I just tried it, but it seems to be based on region and everyone's speaking in either Cantonese and Chinese. The only English speaking ones are from Singapore.....

[rockmanj]

I thought there would be a lot of Korean speaking, but alas...its almost all English speaking people when I sign on.

Even though its not that great, It could be used to like set up games or something...I'll make a club with the name "Gotwoot". Join if you like ^^

...scratch that. I m not paying to make one

[Idealistic]

They need to hurry and add the "Launch/Setup Games" features.

Home can be a place to find people to play your games with when you don't have any friends on to play.

[Psyke]

Yeah even a change of clothes requires a dollar. I'm not going to pay for any of this too, since there are better things to pay for. I tried a few rounds of pool and bowling, and it was pretty refreshing. A good break from the other "serious" games.

[rockmanj]

Yea, I would just like to use it to find people to play online games together more than anything.

[Buffalobiian]

It had that function? Damn, should have used that code then. I thought it was just a Sims knockoff.

I've been in the beta for a month, and I really can't say I like or dislike Home. I like bowling and playing arcade games, when I can actually get on them. Other than that, Home seems like a lot of untapped potential. So I'll save my judgment for the future.

everytime i try to log in to home i get kicked back to starting screen "Error connection with server terminated C-something"... no its not problem with my connection - i'm posting right now when receiving this error.

[Psyke]

It happens during peak hours. Just try again a couple of times and you should get in.

[Xelbair]

i tried it yesterday and i don't think that 1AM is a peek hour. Still - thanks for advice i'm still gonna try it :]

[Psyke]

Well keep trying. It works for me, usually in less than 3 or 4 tries.

Here's a clip (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--KAq8V4phY) which I thought was rather funny and yet sad at the same time.

That's pretty good quincying, love the reaction that they got.

I can't believe Sony spent development time on this. What was the point? This defines new levels of boredom in an MMO. They should've left Second Life to the generally insane subcultures of the internet.

[Shadow Skill]

Sony spend time on it to make stalking online, simple, easy and fun to use for all the social outcasts. -Snicker-
