Update on Home 1.3

Nick212004 · 2009-09-24T21:11:35Z

Ever since Sony announced Home 1.3 would hit in September, fans of the service have been waiting anxiously for it to drop. Unfortunately, 1.3 is not going to hit today, but one of the Home Managers, CydoniaX, has provided us with an update.

How many people are really working on this thing. The way things go it seems like a rather small team.

@Remember

This is all free, y should they make this a high priority when their not even getting payed 4 it. We are just waiting for something free, we didn't pay 4 it.

well they should make it somewhat high if they promised a certain something was going to be available at a certain time.

ALSO they are definitely making some money on virtual items, they are not that hard to make and put a small price tag on them suckas!

but I rather themz wait and release a update with no bugs than a sooner update with bugs. YA MEAN!

Actually its not free. I paid a lot of money at launch for my ps3, money which has gone into Home.

we paid for all the services on the ps3 from sony when we bought the console, so they do have a responsibility to get things done quickly and to a high standard.

@Ninjamonkey i believe your wrong. You payed for what the list of the ps3 box said. No where did it say Home. You payed for a blu ray, gaming console and a free PSN account.

For HOME to become a major interest point for PS community, there need to be a lot more mini-games. Every Space should have some type of HELP system where you'd know what you need to do. Like I visited Red Bull space and I was so damn confused as to what it was about. Anyway, if Sony could add a lot of mini-games then I can bet that you'll see a lot of gamers fequently visiting HOME.

That's 2 examples. You're very impatient if you're getting tired of all these "delays". Are you a Microsoft troll? ;-) http://www.thesixthaxis.com...

@negrito211

Socom: Confrontation? Warhawk? These are online only games. No campaign. So instead of just buying Xbox Live for $29/year, you'd rather pay $40 for Socom, and $30 for Warhawk for online only experiences. Hmm, this seems like a backdoor way of making you play on PSN for 'free'.

After you pay for live, all the games are free. I just walk in a store and when security stops me with games in my hand, I just say "xboxlive fool" and keep on walking.

It says here that it's been live since December 11, 2008. That's hard to believe. Oh wait, no it's not. It's just a sad excuse for an online virtual world that tries to sucker you in to buy fake couches in a fake apartment. $5 for a 'virtual' couch? Really "$"ony? I thought we were only supposed to put it in M$'s name. I guess things change when you're desperate.

Just don't use it and don't think about it. The people who buy couches and stuff just like throwing their money away. Don't feel sorry for them.

@ReservoirDog316

Agreed.

@ZombieAutopsy

So why is either company worse? Why is it always M$ and not $ony? Why is Microsoft always labeled the money hungry monopolistic capitalist pig when Sony pulls the same crap just in different ways? I'm not trying to start a flamewar.

It's the same with the whole ODST argument. Microsoft sells what the market wants. They'll put out 43 more Halo games if there's money to be spent on them. If the market doesn't demand Halo, the market won't get Halo.

Well, it CAN get lamer. Like when the PS3 dorks stood in a virtual line and did a virtual dance in front of a locked door in the Beta.

With their promises and look. Its not a big update anywayz, Their gonna give u a camera so u can take pics of the girls that wear the skirts. Then their gonna actually let u try on the clothes before u buy them(which should have been done a long time ago). Then another space from a car maker.Then the load change settings and thats it. So no one should be holding their breathe for this one.

I don't really use HOME much although I can see the potential in it when it's finally up and running properly. I pop into it every now and then to mess about a bit and have a look at the new spaces.

It does really need headsets working and the ability to launch all games from within it as without those 2 things it kind of feels broken. Being able to play your music in-HOME would also help as it can sometimes feel a bit bland and boring with the lack of many interesting sounds. Also if Sony implements a decent party system on the XMB at some point that would integrate really well into HOME.

I'd like Sony to set up some kind of Tournament and Clan system at some point as well that can be accessed from both the XMB and HOME.
It would be cool to have a universal Clan system where clans can compete in leagues and tournaments and challenge each other to matches.
That would also give a decent use for the XMB information ticker bar, as it could show the names of current champs of particular games ect.... in betweeen all the advertisments.
