DANGERMAN Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I could just read the article i guess, but is it the whole thing or just the open beta, because they said the beta was coming first. Also, any idea what the point of Home is, I honestly have no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoobie Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 From what I can tell it is the open beta which will slowly get turned into the live release - the official release date is tomorrow but they will keep fixing it up and plugging the gaps as they go along.

Hendo Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Also, any idea what the point of Home is, I honestly have no idea Advertising space. That's about it, really. I was gonna leave it at that but I'm sure someone would think that was a fanboy-esque dig, what I mean is that in much the same way that NXE is also about advertising space and selling you virtual items. And riding the Second Life / World of Warcraft gravy train. The Friends tab in NXE bugs me enough that I couldn't see the point in meeting up with your friends in Home.

retroed Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 It's region locked isn't it? That's what I heard when listening to the latest Uncle Gamer yesterday. That's bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkster Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 If anyone's online with their PS3, do tell us what its like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoobie Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 If anyone's online with their PS3, do tell us what its like. Ill be downloading it just to see what the fuss is about - plus I need something to fill that big old hard drive I installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivaOni Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Does the PS3 perform background downloading? based on what I've heard of its download speeds you could be waiting till the new year for it to download, install, not work, download again...

stoobie Posted December 10, 2008 Author Share Posted December 10, 2008 Does the PS3 perform background downloading? It does as long as whatever else you are doing in no way uses the network connection. So no - not really. Its only around 70MB tho isnt it - shouldnt take too long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 It takes a chunk of your harddrive too doesnt it (not a problem for fancy pants stoobie and his enourmo drive), i've heard 1.5 gig. but yeah, best not trying to download it whilst playing LBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I heard on another Podcast (I think it was Gamer Dork) that it reserves 3GB of your HDD for Home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly Reflex Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 It does reserve just over 3GB, but the downloads and patches DL really fast. It is nothing to worry about, its just as fast as DL'ding a XBLA game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 From what I heard this isn't out yet, and may not make it out today. However I can't sign in on my ps3, so somethings going on or everyones got back from school/work and is trying to get on to check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliath Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Am curious to see why Sony pumped so much of their time and resources into Home as i do not see the point of it at all. It can't compete with something like second life... because second life thrives on the user created content. It sounds like Home is just a platform for Sony to generate some advertising revenue. They will have to keep piling resources into it too which is clearly taking cuts out of them patching up important things on the actual console.
