Two things have actually happened, and both are often being reported as a single security attack on PlayStation Home. They aren't the same thing, and they're not even related, so they should have been posted as two separate things. I would have done this myself, but, it would defeat the point of what I'm trying to say with this post, and that is, to differentiate between the two.
OK, the first thing is that someone has discovered the ability to set up some software (web and DNS servers) on a computer on your home network, allowing you to play back movies, music, or images of your choosing, rather than Sony's own media. The effect is local, so, if you're desperate to be online and chatting and hearing your own music and whatnot, then go for it. However, nobody online will hear or see what you are listening or watching. This isn't a security exploit, and doesn't involve hacking unless your ISP is America Online and u r l337.
The other, separate, unrelated, different thing is that a hacker posted some information on his blog about how to exploit Sony's servers, allowing him to upload, download, or delete files on their systems. Whether this is a legit exploit or not has yet to be seen, however, his blog has been wiped clean and the information doesn't exist anymore.
In any case, the first issue isn't really an issue at all, and the second, if true, is likely to be fixed already (perhaps the maintenance we experienced yesterday?), or possibly in tomorrow's patch."
Benjamin Rivers has suggested that it is “totally possible” for two of his titles — Alone With You and Home — to be ported to Nintendo Switch.
I recently published an article about beating my Steam backlog by getting organised and the first game I’ve completed with this new approach is Home.
I chose Home not because of its production values or reviews, but because, well, it’s short. I needed a game to start my new approach on the right foot and read that Home takes less than two hours to beat.
Whatever my reasons for finally installing Home, I found it to be an enjoyable yet flawed title.
Handheld Players takes a look at the PS Vita new releases in February 2018.
the good ol folks that program for HOME obviously need to see this situation for what it is. We want to watch our video clips from our tvs, play music through a some form of media, and be able to post pictures in the portraits hanging in our apartment/summer house.
and give us back all the games to launch into so we can fully utilize the feature.
seriously what's the hold up? can anyone answer that question?...
