Update PlayStation Home version 1.00 now available for beta testers

November 21st, 2008 · 39 Comments


Good news everyone, the PlayStation Home version 1.00 is now available for beta testers and it also introduces Clubs update. We have all waited so long for this to happen and finally things are moving forward.

It looks like and must say “finally” Home will be released to the masses, the new Home will move from the “Game” section of the XMB to the much better place of the “PlayStation Network” area. There have been a few changes in the Home 1.00 update which include an easier-to-use Menu Pad, some areas of Home have been renamed and there is an online manual and tutorial.

You will be able to background download new Home areas as well, the thing to look out for is the all new feature of the Clubs system which will allow you to create clubhouses, oh yes 32 of you can meet at any one time, this new club feature is free to beta testers but will be a paid service when Home goes to the public.

Just so everyone knows, the PlayStation Closed Beta site says clubs will be a for-pay service, it will require you to pay a regular fee, at the moment whilst in closed beta testing it is totally free of charge. Clubs do not cost money but there will be premium club houses.

    Clubs sound pretty sweet if theyre cheapish and with the new Menu-pad does that mean they got rid of the Home-PSP-menu? If it does, I would have thought it would have been good advertising for it.

    I agree pauly i thought that was a clever touch if theyve taken it out it will still be great but, it was a good touch.

    @poole569>>>

    wait so… we have to pay for home??? what else? i bet we have to pay for like the couches we want to buy and our clothes and our hairstyles….

    i thouhghtit was all freee?? ( come tothink of it it sounds insane for it all to be free..???) poole ur an educated dude in the field…

    we gotta pay for home and then more stuff when were acutaly in it?

  • 4 Pauly // Nov 21, 2008 at 3:37 pm

    woah hang on ViNni. Home overall is free. When its released as an Open Beta (which some people believe is in the next 2 weeks(fingers crossed)) there will be a couple of features which you CAN pay for if you wish. So to create your own club you will need to pay, to buy premium furniture, clothes and what not. But it looks like you could quite easily use Home for ages and ages and never have to pay a dime.

  • 5 ViNni // Nov 21, 2008 at 4:09 pm

    @pauly

    thnx for the heads up…

    but can we meet with friends and jump into gamez and can i build my own house like sim styel? like huge mega house or is it like everything that is free is crappy and small… b/ sims i know you could make your house huge!! but i had the rose bush cheat code for money ) hehe) ,,,, can you elaborate on what you or anyone else knows about how taht works.. the customization of persona and house and frankly, what is there to do in HOME other than just walking around… chatting with random people?

  • 6 Poole569 // Nov 21, 2008 at 4:30 pm

    I think it will defo be sim stylee vin! but we will have to pay for access to cirtain areas dont forget there is a movies cinema so i guess we pay to watch/download the film, same as there is bowling and pool so i ghuess there will be maybe a 1 off charge to enter these parts or maybe a monthly/yearly subscription!
    As for clothes i can see ps store having its own section with free and paid for items being availible or maybe its own little store in the home environment!
    Kinda like LBP now on ps store you can get free costumes and paid for ones depends what we want!
    So if you want a certain t-shirt you may have to pay also i can see named clothing coming in like Nike and addidas as sponsers you know and we will have to pay a fee for that sort of clothing!

    it would be good anyway and they would get a alot of sponsership!

  • 7 ViNni // Nov 21, 2008 at 4:54 pm

    @poole

    while were chating, i read how big of a LBP fan you are, im undecided to get it, imostly want it because its a way to get the wife to play ps3 :p….. and we were already hooked on PIxel junk monsters.. will it be a fun game for likelots of people or is it to complicated>? im affraid of bying it and having to do this and that to get this and dat and not having an inicial fun experience right off the bat….

    ( times are tough i can only afford one game for now man, x-mas is killing me and my pocket!)

  • 8 Poole569 // Nov 21, 2008 at 5:02 pm

    @ Vin

    Im the same m8 u know with the credit crunch an all lol! It is fun out the box but the levels get harder n harder as you go (like they usually do lol) and you have got quite alot customisation from the start and it just keeps growing n growing, the level creation is ok just so long you got time to create, but the best thing about it is being able to play some of the other levels that other players have created, they are amazing, well some of them are!

    Overall its a fun bright game with loadsa things to do if you got 2 controllers you can both play on full screen and do the levels together! My daughter plays on it with me!

  • 9 ViNni // Nov 21, 2008 at 5:20 pm

    @RE:RE: poole

    sounds cool,im stayin away from the baby thing for now, newly wed ;D ….but i bet derz nuthin better then ps3 + your kid,,,thats livin!!!

    so with 2 controllers you can play online on the other levels? what about ” campaign” 2players as well???

    and the point of the game is race through interesting levels and gain coins..or..bubbles looking thingies…

    what other type of game modes are there >??

  • 10 Poole569 // Nov 21, 2008 at 5:37 pm

    yeah you can have two players doing any level campaign or created level using either 2 remotes or your online psn friends it makes the levels really interesting and if your stuck you can help eachother complete the level.

    Yeah its a kinda of collection game collecting the bubbles result in new stickers and new costumes and fabrics to cover your sackboy in!

    the levels are pretty much the same thing but there are levels where you have to just work throuigh and sum where you have to get to the end b4 the time runs out!

    Some smart guy has even done a mirrors edge level which is kool! you use tanks, cars, horses and can create and incorporate all those into your own levels.

  • 11 ViNni // Nov 21, 2008 at 5:55 pm

    kool ima get it this week whats your psn accout name so i can add you man… im here in the US i hear your from th mate land England? i have a cousin that lives in london…..

    ADD:.. me ……BrAziLzHiTmAn…..
    ( im a hardcore run and gun shooter gamer! first time branching out to these style of games)

    Is there a costume i can build that matches my name hahaha like a little cod4 or killzone 2 character! ahahahahahah

  • 12 Poole569 // Nov 21, 2008 at 6:21 pm

    MY ID is the same as on here m8 poole569 im a hardcore cod4 player just tryin to get used to cod5 at moment tho yeah add me when you can and we can run through the game when u get it! cheers speak to you soon
    oh about the costumes there are some crazy ones you can make and a camoflouge material and you can put stickers on your face to look like camaflouge so maybe you could do a gritty cod stylee sackboy!

  • 13 Killface // Nov 21, 2008 at 8:16 pm

    I’m still not on that bitch so i’m just going to shake things up and say the 360 avartars are better than home.

  • 14 Wargasm // Nov 21, 2008 at 10:35 pm

    It’s an avatar not an avaRtar.No need for the 360 word either,any mention of that and the fanboys go to war (again).It can ruin any decent discussion and turn into slander and abuse.

  • 15 The Future of Sega // Nov 22, 2008 at 4:45 pm

    THE 360 AVATARS ARE BETTER THAN HOME!!! lol I’m just kidding. Honestly I have lost my patience with Home and that is why I became both a 360 fanboy and PS3 fanboy.

    Inside I want Home to be great but I have a feeling that after waiting so long that this is going to upset and disappoint alot of people.

    From my first interpretation I also believed that Home would be completely “free”. But lets face it, Sony still has a couple of lies up it’s sleeve….cough trophies cough…….lol.

  • 16 ViNni // Nov 22, 2008 at 5:03 pm

    @sega

    im sucha douche towards douche bags!!!! hahahaha

  • 19 The Future of Sega // Nov 22, 2008 at 6:24 pm

    Lol first off Kill Zone 2 is shit. The first Kill Zone received a 6.0 out of a 10. You call that a great game!??? HA!

    And like I said before I own a PS3 but Kill Zone seems like a waste to me. I would rather enjoy Gears of War 2 or Halo Wars than Kill Zone 2 or Little Big Dammit.

    PWNED! hee hee hee hee

  • 20 ViNni // Nov 22, 2008 at 6:30 pm

    wat a looser!! you think you actually wont by kz2 hahaha u know your drooling all over it douche bagg!! and you wish gow2 had the features kz2 will have and you wish you had lbp shits on banjo kazooi all day hahahhahahahahah

  • 21 The Future of Sega // Nov 22, 2008 at 7:12 pm

    How dare you talk bad of Gears of War 2 and Halo. For that I challenge you to a match on either one if you have the balls. Don’t worry, you’ll get your proper teabagging :P

  • 22 The Future of Sega // Nov 22, 2008 at 7:14 pm

    PS3 fagboys make me sick.

  • 23 Wargasm // Nov 22, 2008 at 8:05 pm

    jesus christ…this is what i meant about fanboys going to war…

  • 24 ViNni // Nov 22, 2008 at 8:10 pm

    fagbox 360 fanboys have hott soccer moms

  • 25 The Future of Sega // Nov 22, 2008 at 8:12 pm

    Lmaorofl ha ha ha ha ha ha. Wargasm, you are hilarious. I saw that post of yours where you asked some guy about “conftroller”? Sounds familiar?? priceless. lol

  • 26 The Future of Sega // Nov 22, 2008 at 8:13 pm

    And PS3 fagboys have underutilized games with a blu ray player thats bound to fail.

  • 27 ViNni // Nov 22, 2008 at 8:31 pm

    this was fun! any way ghost u got cod4? watz ur sn?

  • 28 ViNni // Nov 22, 2008 at 9:00 pm

    this was fun! any way ***Sega*** u got cod4? (ps3)

    watz ur sn?

  • 29 The Future of Sega // Nov 22, 2008 at 9:23 pm

    Yeah I have COD4. Hey listen guys I’m really not a 360 fanboy to be honest. I just rally people up to see what facts they present to me. In all honesty I play my PS3 more than my 360. And yes I like the PS3 more than the 360.

    Vini unfortunately I’m not an everyday online gamer. Every once in a while I will log online to play PS3 games online. I only have wireless but my PS3 can barely detect the signal……so i miss out on all of the fun :(……….no xbox live……no psn………ARRRRRRGGGGGG!!! I CAN’T TAKE IT!!!!! GIVE ME ONLINE SERVICE RIGHT NOW CABLE COMPANIES!!!! lol

  • 30 ViNni // Nov 22, 2008 at 9:40 pm

    lol sweet!

    i watched sum youtube videos about comparisons to the hardware in the ps3 to the xbox and that was enough for me to decide

    but dude seriously ur probably having only 20% fun out of the ps3 bro!

    online gamiing is were its at! If you have internet at home just pull the ethernet cable to the ps3 get an extention, call of a hardware store ask them to help you install all IT….

    its the shit man!!!! like cod4 has a whole difernt clas sys. online and so does MGS4 it has a whole nother system…..

    and dont belive the BS people say about PSN weak network ive had it for months and never had one problem, only if it came from my own interenet ( whch is everyones problem but they just blame it on PSN)

    Bro i bet that KZ2 will get a higher rating than 9.5! i wont say huge sales b/ SONy cant advertise in the US for shit!!! and when they do they are all shady and mystique about it, like they dont just spill out the games and say look watch this see this ect. they put out little stupid commercials….

    till this day i havent seen a kz2 commercial did you???????????????????

  • 31 The Future of Sega // Nov 23, 2008 at 12:12 am

    Well right now I’m saving up some money to buy a HD tv so I’ll have to see. I would LOOOOOOVE to play MGS4 online. My only problem with COD4 is that it doesn’t rumble which really pissed me off.

    I bought 4 Dual Shock 3’s and only 4 of my 23 PS3 games actually rumble. I’m disappointed but still excited. I wish that the Japanese Silver DS3s were at Best Buy. I couldn’t find any. In all honesty I wanted to have one white, one black, and one silver Dual Shock 3…….

    And I agree. Xbox Live is pure BULLSHIT! Lol I hate having to waiting for morons to join a game I’ve created on there, it sucks! Having to wait 10 to 15 mins just to have a match is bogus.

    Personally I never played Kill Zone 2 but I’m hoping for the best of it. Alot of times it seems like developers care less of us PS3 gamers.

    And no I haven’t seen a Kill Zone 2 commercial yet. Judging by the graphics online it looks like it’s going to kick some serious ass! :P

    By the way will there be updates to enable rumble for COD4, Dirt, FEAR, Need For Speed Carbon, Oblivion, Sonic The Hedgehog, Armed Core 4, and Tony Hawk’s Project 8? That is almost half of my PS3 library :P

    PS: I apologize to every PS3 gamer on this site that I have criticized. I am a loyal PS3 fanboy now and I will support the PS3 till the death!!!!

    LONG LIVE PS3!!!! HURAAH!!!

  • 32 Wargasm // Nov 23, 2008 at 9:21 pm

    sega, by any chance do you have dual personalities?…360 fanboy by day!ps3 fanboy by night!

  • 33 Barnabee Jones // Nov 24, 2008 at 6:45 pm

    Oh Sega Boy you are entertaining as always…

    IGOT INTO HOME!! It is pretty cool. There are already things like chess, bowling, pool, arcade games, music, the mall, etc, etc… It is actually a lot of fun. I killed a few hours over the weekend with it.

    I’m sorry the 360 Miis are not the same thing as a virtual world were you can actually do things…

  • 34 Barnabee Jones // Nov 25, 2008 at 6:41 pm

    @Everyone who reads this: Sega Boy has been banned from most other blog sites out there. He just likes to start fights. He probably doesn’t own a 360 or a PS3… I bet he might own a Wii though. He does the same thing on other sites… he’ll talk trash about the PS3… then he talks crap about the 360.. DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO HIM!!

  • 35 ViNnI // Nov 25, 2008 at 7:13 pm

    @jones

    dont worry sega’s cool hes juss playin around too much lmao, come on guys were all ps3 ”brotha’s and sistas” from tha same hood”

    come on guys ps3 is the best and is slowly taking over, ps3 does some dumb moves sometimes and they dont know how to advertise better in usa but killzone 2 is coming out guys lets get pumped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 36 The Future of Sega // Nov 27, 2008 at 2:44 am

    LOL you guys are hilarious. Barnabee Jones is half correct. I am entertaining and yes I do troll around looking for obnoxious idiots. And yes I have been banned from almost every gaming site except this one.

    But honestly I do own BOTH a 360 and a PS3. I currently own dial up which really FUCKS up my fun!

    @ Wargasm…….You have the right to SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!

    Although I have to admit, there is an extravagant ASSHOLE around here called ercocker. And he’s a real SHIT up the ASS!!! I see he has a talent for naming calling people’s mums but he cannot address an argument directly…..tuhm…what a FUCK!!!!

  • 37 Duh // Nov 29, 2008 at 11:21 pm

    Lol this coming from The Future of Sega, everything you said about erocker (Rock on Erocker !!!), can be applied directly to your hairy caveman a$$

  • 38 The Future of Sega // Dec 2, 2008 at 7:37 pm

    Duh…..shut up :P
