foogledricks Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Looks like Sony IS keeping their promise on Home. It is just weird how stealth they're being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Has in been confirmed, as recent rumours suggested, that unlocking Trophies will in turn reward you with "Home money" to spend on all the furnishing bollocks for those not obsessed enough to actually hand over real money for such items?

JoeyN Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Those in the beta, if you log in tonight you can get free cloths, tables, chairs, couch,etc and a summer home for free. I just downloaded it all, and it will carry over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Wow. Something to actually do in Home?! *how much for that virtual shirt?* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I placed a table and some sofa's in my summer home. Also some chairs and a fold out table outside so I can sit and watch the water :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I found I have re-dl the plaza area, so that probably means to mall too? Didn't feel like it tonight, but since the wife is in SF this weekend, I'll be farting around online and checking out how crazy it will get in Home now it's going public beta.

Magness Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I was back in Home last night for a while and picked up all the new content. Summer Home is really cool looking IMO and some of the new furniture is nice but so far thats still about all there is to do there: like a stripped down version of the Sims. Still issues with proximity voice chat but, they must be working on that. Still issues with waiting in line to play Bowling and other games but, again they must have some fix in the works for these types of problems. Looking forward to the open release to see how this all works out and to see the Trophy Room, Game Rooms, Etc being added back in (eventually).

fishepa Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Any idea when this is supposed to hit today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Any idea when this is supposed to hit today? I've seen 5pm EST mentioned. Allegedly it'll be up within 2hrs here in the UK but we'll see. They still seem to be fiddling with the servers in all regions according to those on the Beta.

DaveC Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I was in last night and had to re download the central plaza. I hope to god I'm not going to have to do that every time they decide to update home or add new features. I'll have to hop online later tonight to see if I can still get the free summer home and all the other crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Downloading now. Will one of the forum bosses set up an LCVG Club this evening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) I've downloaded and installed it, but can't try it out. Keep getting errors when I try to connect. Must be overloaded. Edit: Well I got passed the EULA, but now it's just.... doing nothing. Edited December 11, 2008 by DrunkOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlucci Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I get to "initializing" and then it says "Request timed out /hubps3_svml/unity/start.jsp" Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 A dance party is happening at the Central Plaza in 20 minutes... hope I can make it. I've read it might go all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I got on just a while back, re-DL'd the Mall and new Plaza. Liked the old Plaza better. No problems for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelley Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I'm downloading it now, will create the space once its all done and set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I'm having no luck signing into it. Just server time outs like Carlos mentioned.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Perhaps if we just shut our eyes and imagine buying a t-shirt and a sofa it would basically amount to the same experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I got in. I gave up and turned off my system for a bit. Tried again a bit later and got in pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 The bloody logo is going to bring about burn in on my plasma if I keep trying - and subsequently failing - to connect. I shall try early tomorrow morning. *edit* Just as I posted it connected me. Now it's hanging on the 'Message of the Day' *edit* ...and now its timed out again. Goodnight, Home.

exile Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I don't see I can download it. Where do you sign up or find it? Edit: I'm not seeing the icon under the PSN at all. I have the latest firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
