well... lol
technically its in an open beta release... which means they are still changing stuff based on user *. potentially huge things. which theyve already done. sadly, with the huge load of people trying to get on the servers are clogged and a lot of people are getting errors. infact... give the amount of areas there were on the 10th... i cant imagine that there would be enough virtually space to fit all the people that have a ps3... though i dont know if there are usa servers and europe servers or if its just one area for the world.
anyway... it is indeed out but save your time and try and get on next monday or so.
update: i just tried. took a total of 2 times to get on so i guess its not as bad as most people are saying? or maybe i got lucky. in either case its there.

from what i hear, its the full release in Japan, but for some reason other countries versions are saying beta instead.
Open beta sounds appropriate if there are tons of errors. but i imagine they will be pushing it as a working platform from this moment on, so its like a half-beta

well the icon just says playstation home, where as before the 11th, it said playstation home beta. but now when you log on its opening message says "welcome to the playstation home open beta blah blah blah dance party blah blah blah mall, blah we finally got it out yay!"
so... they arent totally consistant. I think they want to keep that beta so that when anyone says "wtf is this?" they can be all, chill out general media and consumers, we are still in beeeeta.
that being the case, once they start putting out more areas for games that i have, namely metal gear solid or fallout or burnout even things will be a lot more cool. because then i get to meet people that have those games. oh and socom. thats the area in home that im really looking forward to.

well when you first log on you have your... virtual home. a one room studio type thing. you exit to the central plaza from there you can go to the mall, the theater or the bowling place. all of those are a seprate area seperated by a load time of about 10 seconds. each of those areas is about 25-30 mg that you download once and its saved. there are also areas for certain games. the only two now are uncharted and far cry 2. i have no idea whats in those areas but its to be themed like the game. i guess you can also join up random games with people in that area... or anywhere on home i guess. so say you have warhawk in your cd drive (or on your harddrive) you can set up a game in home, wait for your pals to meet you somewhere and join and then you all launch into the game together.
granted i havent tried it yet being as i dont play warhawk now days but thats how its supposed to work. i believe warhawk is the only game you can do that with as of yet.
or:

HAHAHA
reminds me of a post a woman said about Home.
everyone was shocked that a woman was playing on a playstation, some were so shocked that they would get in front of her and then say "im licking your p***y" or behind her and saying "Im rubbing your a**"
apparently all PS3 owners are closet case molesters.

To go along with the PA comic, what they wrote in the news section is ... 100% accuarate sadly.

The Beta for Playstation home is now available to everyone, and now you know what I know: this is what happens when your marketing department tries to make a game. Here is everything you need to understand about Home, if you should accidentally launch it from your XMB: press and hold the Playstation button in the center of your Dual-Shock or Sixaxis controller. From the menu that appears, select Quit.
There are things about Home that are simply beyond my understanding. Chief among these bizarre maneuvers is the idea that, when manufacturing their flimsy dystopia, they actually ported the pernicious notion of scarcity from our world into their digital one. This is like having the ability to shape being from non-being at the subatomic level, and the first thing you decide to make is AIDS.
If you approach an arcade machine and there is a person standing in front of it, you will not be able to play it. Likewise, if you see people bowling and think that bowling is something you might like to do, you probably wont be able to. Unable to play arcade games like Ice Breakers and Carriage Return the first several times we logged on, these games had begun to take on an epic stature in our minds. These were gushing fonts of liquid fun, habit-forming and dangerous - for the good of our virtual society, the supply had to be controlled. When we were finally able to play them, we learned that they were the equivalent of browser games.
There is nothing about the experience of using Home to suggest that you are actually moving through a single, contiguous environment. It is very clearly a handful of walled off zones, where you are confronted by incessant load screens in a desperate search for stimulation. From the moment you enter one of their ultrahygenic "amusement regions," it's clear that all life has been burned away. You get the sense that this is a place in which no interesting thing could ever happen.
There is already a growing school of Home apologetics, fostered by the same Order of Perpetual Masochism that lauded the rumble-free Sixaxis at launch and suggested, hilariously, that Lair and Heavenly Sword were videogames. They're under the impression that because something is free, this places it on some golden dais beyond censure. It's no virtue to give away something that no-one in their right mind would buy. Sony has no idea what this world is for, and that ambiguity infuses every simulated millimeter of it.
This is the terrible secret that roils beneath their false universe: it is nothing more than a cumbersome menu, a rampart over which you must hoist yourself to accomplish the most basic tasks. |
