PlayStation Home

Recently i recieved an email invitation to join the Playstation Home Beta user tester. Well i was abit excited as i had been reading about the 'Home' for sometimes everysince i bought my PS3 last year. So straight away i finally turn on my PS3 after more than 3 months i didnt touch it.

As you can see the file size is not that bad.. well atleast for our country download speed... size does matter!... after leaving my PS3 to download it for overnight finally its done.. or izzit? Well nope.. seems like there is already ver 1.1 which needed to be updated sigh~... ok download it again... waited till next and try again...

The next day.. BUGGER! there is a new PS3 Update that need to be download... argggghh! suck to the broadband here

OK FINALLY!.. everything is done, i managed to get into the so called 'game'.. well its bascially more or less like 'The Sim' where first you created a character.

Nice hair do...

ermm.. abit too much?

Final stage

Its does looks really good, and with Sim like function.. such as sitting down, waving, dancing etc etc..

Take a rest

Now what kind of dance i shall performs?

The outside world does looks really cool tho, and there is actually a few location that you can go to, such as shops for shopping, bowling alley, theater etc.. but with each new locations you will need to download it... yeah one download for each location which is around 45mb per locations.

The navigator system

As for communications there is 2 way, the old typing (with or without keyboard) and voice (using bluetooth headset) So far as i am still downloading the rest of the location... which Gods know when it will finish... i didnt get to met any real time player (PS3 Owners) yet...

Text message at the bottom left corner

Leave of awhile and its goin to auto sleep mode.

Now what is Playstation Home and what does it do?.. basically it is a Free programe or Games if you like to call it which more or less like The Sim. But with home you can actually interact with all the PS3 owner in realtime (when they also login to the programe)

There will be alot of function or fun thing to do which will be updated one by one in the future.. for example you can use your PSP to connect to it, or even play your PSP in it..

From Wikipedia
PlayStation Home (also marketed and referred to simply as Home)^[3] is a community-based service for the PlayStation Network which has been in development since early 2005. Home allows users to create an avatar for their PlayStation 3 console. This avatar will get their own virtual apartment space (called a "HomeSpace"), which can then be adorned with items users can receive in several different ways.

The current version of Home is v1.01 and was released to "Closed Beta" testers on November 21, 2008. The "Open Beta" will be available for download to the general public in December 2008. In a Q&A session with IGN, published on their website on November 25, 2008, Sony Computer Entertainment America Director of Hardware Marketing John Koller described the release of Home as "imminent" and stated that he expects the public launch to take place before the end of 2008.^[4]
