A post over at the Console Exploits forums has revealed some news about Sony's upcoming PlayStation Home 3D social network.
Nekon, a moderator, said, “It seems the HOME beta has been updated and ready for download by current testers. With this update the HOME Square that was shown at E3 has finally been made available to testers. From what I understand many changes have been made to the HOME beta and they're very well received by beta participants.”
Also, Home areas now can be broken down into separate downloads for one's liking:
“For example if you didn't desire to visit the theater you didn't have to download it. It makes for a much smaller core download and allows users to define their own experiences.”
Another tidbit is the apparent support of DivX videos (shown by the logo in one of the screens below), and the addition of Backgammon and Chess in the Game Space.













Cant wait for this
im really looking forward to this
Oh, Home, oh, Home... when are you going to release for us the (ravenous) waiting public? I want in on the whole soft release.
Home could be the secret card Sony definitively need. Can't wait. I hope they will think to make good use of the theatre (for exemple, bring some trailers a few days before being available to download via normal PSStore and some exclusives stuff)..
Not the SH**t for the Wii-casual gamers "revolution" tho (just imagine KZ2's sell number being 50x time lower than any 6months-made Wii games, who will continue to put Millions$$ and years to develop HD hardcore games?)
wow home is going to be a bomb
Better. Than. Live. Period.
HOME comes out tomorrow, I recieved a download notice in my mail from Sony. Did you recieve one too??
I am just joking... Don't take that to the head, I wish it was true.
i hope HOME servers are as good as the Warhawk servers. no wait, those servers were managed terribly. Sony should do something right and host home on an MS network. maybe then it would work.
Alright, Home looks like it’s really starting to shape up.
this is going to be awesome
revolutionary, not like second life
looks sweet.
its free right? either way im gettin it
psn id: gingo.... HOME is gonna be soo cool i cant wait to finally try this after waiting for so long
home sweet home
sweetness
This is great! Hope we dont have to wait much longer. With the addition of HOME Casino, it looks like this will be the place to be.
geez I swear All these Leaks, you guys almost already know as people IN the Beta. Yeah things have improved quite a bit since the last version. Here's hopeing advances continue on a more timely basis. Also Yes, it is FREE. and to all you stupid ignorant haters-- you dont have to freaking use it if you dont want to.
Its better than using text only. Plus this shows that we are in the "future" everyone wanna live in the future so sony will bring it to us.
wow looks amazing
i just wish they would hurry up and let use have it
that is beast
