Sony Home - The official thread*

does anyone know how to change the age restrictions on this? I deleted home off the PS3 and can't find a 'game save' however after reinstalling I still get a message above my account not having permissions (age restriction IIRC)?

I'd like to try this but get frustrated when trying to enter areas and keep getting this message :(
 
Is there a single home space available for euro ps3 users yet? Last I logged in, maybe 2 weeks ago, there was fsck all in the way of spaces to check out.

It's so crazy, home's an euro project and we're the last to see full benefit of it!

I'm not sure what you talk about, but there are 13 categories of home spaces available now containing in total I think about 25 home spaces. The Fat Princess (in the Sony Home Event Launch space) and Burn Zombie Burn spaces were global releases and are available in Home. I think from now on most spaces will be released day and date.

I think you should give Sony customer service a call:

It seems that you have registered your PSN account as a child account ?

thanks but this is a full adult account, I have a CC registered and everything...and play all games (KZ2) online.

I have however got one of my kids registered, I wonder if this is screwing it up? I'll try giving Sony a call unless anyone else has a suggestion? I can't believe I'm the only one!!?? :D
 
Iam surprise they don't allow you the purchase any downloadable games in HOME especially the ones with their own HOME spaces
 
That's right. In the first place, shopping, playing and chatting are the 3 most important things in Home (in no particular order). Right now, it's walking, walking and waiting. Home is getting better and more interesting (especially Asian Home), but it is severely held back by its very raw usage model. The more Home Space they introduce, the more tedious it will or has become. The tiles in the Worldmap are taking longer and longer to load for me too.

The small dev team may be swarmed attending to 3rd party developer requests and releases. If I were the management, I'd be going in now (yesterday) to make sure all the key user issues are addressed before anything else. It needs to be balanced with the amount of new stuff coming in.



Speaking of new content:

* EA has a little update about their Home Poker:
http://insideblog.easports.com/archive/2009/07/30/ea-sports-complex-the-poker-scene.aspx

The poker scene in PlayStation Home is continuing to grow as we add another round of features to our space. The biggest change includes the launch of a brand new level of play on the black poker tables. These tables will target the high rollers in Home, who will be rewarded with the new Diamond Poker bracelets after winning on an 8 player table. These new black tables will pay out a record 100,000 points to the winner of an 8-seat game. Expect to work for this accomplishment reward, and make sure you have time to play because the black tables will be designed for much longer games than currently found on red or green tables.

Another obvious change to the EA SPORTS Texas Hold'em rooms in Home is the reset of the season leader boards. This reset clears the high scores for the season but will leave the personal bankrolls intact. Players will be able to use the previous winnings to get back in the top player rankings. Once we confirm the results you will see a list of the top players from both the US and European leagues. With the release of the black tables we will be going into a tuning phase for a few weeks, and we will again reset the results.

In the next big push the poker leader boards will see a few new features based on requests from the Home community. Seasons for poker will now be split by table color with green, red, and black tables all utilizing separate rankings. Now you won't have to work all the way up to black tables to see your name in lights. The season duration for each level of play will also be different with green having short 2 weeks seasons, and black having the longest season at 12 weeks. Each leader board will have a reset date posted so you can see how much time is left before the next reset. Of course we will continue to preserve bankrolls between seasons so players can jump back into play at their preferred level. When the new leader boards appear in a few weeks we will continue the testing and will do one more reset before the start of the next full season of play.

The next version of poker to be pushed in a couple weeks will also include a player's win ratio. This number is calculated by dividing the total number of games paid out by the number of games played. By holding the R1 button, each player's chip stack and bet amounts will be replaced by the players bankroll and their percentage of games paid out. You will quickly be able to tell the experienced Home players from the new ones, but don't be fooled by experienced players who create new accounts to catch people off guard. Releasing the R1 button will return the information to the original chip stack and bet amount information.

The EA SPORTS Pro Shop is now open on the first floor of the EA SPORTS Racing Complex. Featuring boxing outfits form the hit game FIGHT NIGHT Round 4, the opening of the Pro Shop is just a hint of things to come from EA SPORTS on Home. The picture below shows the introductory selection of outfits created using assets directly from the game. Authentic boxing gloves, shorts, boots, headgear and a shirt are all included in each set. You will also find a complete set of furniture from Club Fight Night to decorate your personal space with.

PLUS ! For something as important as the Photo frame, the Home team treated it like a simple task: check and move on. They need more time to expand the concept and "deepen" the implementation.


EDIT: Someone needs to interview the Home team and ask them better questions. Old Home interviews were filled with the team's visions or the interviewers' personal dislikes of Home. Both views don't mean much to me. They should report the current state of Home *and* ask them how they intend to overcome the current limitations. The last time someone asked this, the answer from Peter Edwards was essentially "I don't know" ^_^
 
Don't know where else to stick this. Filed it under misc. Playstation community building:
http://www.siliconera.com/2009/08/0...-is-working-on-a-playstation-rewards-program/

According to a recent trademark for P.S. Thanks, probably short for PlayStation Thanks, it seems that way. The trademark filed by Sony Computer Entertainment is for use with an “incentive rewards program” which identifies and motivates the top consumer base.

For those who attended the PS Business Briefing in early 2006, is this the "Entitlement" management stuff they bulleted on their slides ? It was filed under "Commerce" instead of "Gaming". So I reckon Entitlement was not Trophy or Achievement or Gamerscore. So Entitlement is "PS Thanks", yes ?

The term/name is rather broad and friendly. So they can use it for any rewards.
I wonder why they passed on "P.S. I wuf/:love: you" or "XXOO" :devilish: ?

I could have sworn Entitlement was in regards to rights management for games and other PSN content?
 
As in DRM thinggie ? Hmm... I think you are right. I did remember seeing "access rights" associated with Entitilement in the slide. Makes sense under "Commerce" heading too.
 
To add onto the Criss Angel showing

The best part is that every user that logs in to PlayStation Home to check out these clips will be given a limited-time virtual item for their personal space – a stylish Criss Angel Mindfreak Coffin Couch. This item will only be available to those of you who visit the 10-Screen Theater and watch the Criss Angel: Mindfreak video between now and the 12th. After this date, this item will never again be made available. You’ll also be automatically entered into a giveaway for 1 of 2 real – yes REAL – Criss Angel: Mindfreak Coffins and 1 of 3 Criss Angel: Burn DVD’s and Book sets (5 winners total).
