PS HOME

How many of you have downloaded it. I just downloaded the open beta about an hour ago. So far I'm liking it.

 

psn probs. could not update it.
Closed beta was not impressing actually

Hope it is just temporary troubles.

 

where do you download it from? I logged in yesterday and couldn't find it.

 

You have to have the 2.53 update. Then you'll find it under the tab where you log into your account.

 

I'm digging the Uncharted and FarCry 2 rooms. I could see this being a great feature for fighting games. SFIV is getting a room day one. Is a great lobby system. My beef, the fucking downloads. You have to download this rooms(Not big, under the 20 meg range)I just find it annoying that when more companies adapt this idea, this downloads will start taking up space. I have a big HDD on my PS3. But not having the option to delete this rooms is a big NO NO.

Now you have to pay if you want to start a club(5.00$)I was going to do a VFDC one, but I heard SONY is going to start Monthly fees in March for this clubs(I hope not)All and all, I like the potential that's being display.

 

I suppose its possible to delete them when you dig up the files via harddrive explorer or somesuch? Its kinda like replays in box VF. you cant delete them ingame.

 

I have the same thoughts. It could be great for fighters to find each other in special rooms

but now I can't even connect. Server error. :\

 

Same here, lol.

 

Yooo, I got on it this morning and I gotta say, I like it. It's like stepping out without stepping out, lol.
Hopefully I can meet a few new people off of this.
The avatar/character thing is waaaay more detailed than I ever expected it to be.
I might get a mic just for this /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

HOME is so much more than what XBox did with the new XBox Experience.

 

get the playstation eye its a camera and mic in one. configure it in accessories under settings on ps3

 

The update 2.53 is getting a lot of trouble right now, especially for 60G consoles!!! You can't load any games when you are done the update or the screen will turn out black or stuck.

I saw a lot of news which said the 2.53 conflict with 60G ps3, and the only way to solve it is spend like $200 to change the mother board or switch to a 40G ps3.........(The solution is from SONY factory and the mother board right now is in shortage)

This situation will get worse if SONY can't provide a new update, and I don't dare to update 2.53 since my console is 60G. I had a lesson from MS already, hopefully don't happen again.

Be ware of this case, it already spread in Asia.....

 

I also have the 60GB console. So far no problems yet after updating. But I don't want to speak too soon.

 

Just played a few hours of games with a 60gig. No issues at all.

 

That is scary! But I have a 60 gig too and I don't seem to have issues with the 2.53 update.

 

Link, or it didn't happen. I have a 60 gig(Hugs it)No problems here.

 

True, but is not integrated to the GUI like LIVE. Once you turn on your 360, everything is THERE. No hurdles, like HOME. Here's the thing, once I launch a game(any game)Will it send me back to HOME? Not at this moment(Except Warhawk I think)You have to log in to HOME again. This is a BETA, and the potential for this to grow is there, but to be on LIVE's level, they have to make HOME as intuitive as LIVE and part of the Playstation experience. Basically not optional. The more I mess around with HOME the more I like it. Can't wait to see what it becomes.

 

Ya, it just came out these couple days since the PS HOME require that 2.53. The reason why some people couldn't download immediately coz you need to turn off the power first(The switch on the rear).

More and more threads are posted in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and I don't think that are some specific cases. Those consumers are going to accuse SONY b/c SONY ascribe this problem to their mother board were broken and you need to pay for it. Btw, it also happened on 40G as well but just very few. In Taiwan, since it's a small country so you can take your console to SONY and just try to repair right away, and there were about 5 in rows consumers in the same problem on PS3 after that update in one morning!!! Well, I can't guarantee you must suffer it after the update but I just let you guys know it's better to wait a little bit since the disaster already caused and getting worse....

 

I have the links but they are all in Chinese.
Hopefully don't see any case here~~

Btw, the most problems are on the first batch of PS3. The oldest ones.

 

Send me the links. BTW, firmware problems happens.
