Hello Home 1.00

Well, another week, another Home story. Except this one's quite interesting: according to this guy (warning: site is advert/banner hell and kills Firefox) enterprising folk have managed to use the Folding@Home exploit to grab v1.00 of Home. Naturally, the whole would explode if people could actually play it, but despite a 200MB download the thing is still locked just now. Waiting for Sony to flick the switch? Looks like it. If they get this thing ready for April 15th, we're in for one hell of a treat next week...

[Omegasyde]

Home isn't coming next week. Be happy with the new Warhawk add on and Cod4 maps. :) + Gt5 Prolouge + Pixel Junk Monster Add-on + uninteresting blu-ray movie trailers.

[AlterEgo]

Don't forget about the Resistance 2 trailer!

[OJ_juice]

Whens the resistance 2 trailer coming out?

[Fishy Fingers]

Friday ...gametrailers. http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...

[Mikelarry]

gotta love the unintresting blu ray trailers aint they a treat

[Genesis5]

We still have the new Playstation store to look forward to. They said the middle of April and thats next week.

[monks]

i thought updates where off until after the new store on the 14th

edit: okay thanks was just checking

[Fishy Fingers]

They are. This is what they are referring to.

[DemiseofPandas]

Don't forget the Metal Gear Online beta.^^

[Thoas]

Thats what i'm looking forward too the most this month is MGS4 online beta, forget everything else this month.

[subzero9]

THATS SWEET! but we cane hope for home to come out!

[chaosatom333]

sony does something to hit us with a surprise or something.

[Skerj]

Hahaha breaking and entering into Home.

[SeanScythe]

Home needs a good security system. I can see the commercials now, after it comes out now for only $9.99 a month protect your Home and family with "Safe Home" the best in home protection.

[INehalemEXI]

lol

[eagle21]

I was about to read Home and Home & Design magazine on my mom's desk yesterday...lol :)

[Sir Ken Kutaragi 4]

I started to watch 'HOME and Away'!!! ;-D
(Australian Soap)
+'HOME Alone' 1,2,3... ;-D

[Mikelarry]

this is old.well old to ppl on the psu forums. but yeah you can download it but you cant use it, you only get the icon on your xmb menu. so ppl getting it i ask whats the point of just having the icon only and risk getting banned by sony

[Meus Renaissance]

I don't want to see another HOME article till Sony say its UP and ready to be downloaded from the PlayStation store.

[EZCheez]

The thought of Home used to excite me. Now it just pisses me off.

I don't approve any Home stories anymore. That's my personal backlash.

[yesah]

yea but, itll be that much sweeter when it comes out. All the excitment will come back the moment home is out.

[legendkilla]

"The thought of Home used to excite me. Now it just pisses me off"

pretty much sum's it up right there

[okcomputer]

Its been such a long wait I don't even care about home anymore. Just give me in game xmb, custom soundtracks and an accomplishments tracker I'll be happy. If sony had focused on just that we'd have those things by now, and wouldn't be waiting a year and a half later for features that should have been part of the launch.

[PirateThom]

I don't care what you said, but I noticed you like Radiohead, have some bubbles (not that you need them!!)

[Amanosenpai]

Need to see to believe...

[Mikelarry]

are some pixs for you

[rbanke]

am i the only one that had a hard time reading that description? <opens english book>

[PSWe60]

lots of goodies coming next week, the new PS store, Warhawk "broken mirror", Gran Turismo Prologue and the HOME beta. It's good to be a PS3 owner

[JoelR]

1st off... Home beta is over 400megs now (that version is old!)
2nd - it is account and system ID tied so unless you are in out of luck
and 3rd the website tries to install a virus...

aka: complete and utter fake.

[vegnadragon]

I am not risking a permanent PSN ban, that's the price that you'll pay if they find out.

[eagle21]

If you are discreet about it, your more than welcomed to hit that PM button to your left. lol Thanx in advance. :)

[Glitch929]

Although we all can't wait for Home, I seriously doubt it is coming anytime in the next few weeks (and likely months). When it is finally ready, however, it should revolutionize the social networking of any game console ever made. Period.

[thehitman]

Im going to try this right now ill tell if I got any luck with it!

EDIT: I hit a road block if any1 can get me the Ps3 prosy server thing ill be glad just reply me with info or pm me thx! The forums have a block on letting newbies dling things...

[Mikelarry]

check on the uk gamespot forum. a user has all the info u need there

[psnDevistator356]

Bring home already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!

[Varsarus]

.

[budbundystyles]

An April 15th release of home: Involuntary bowel release into pants.

[TwissT]

I am tired about reading about HOME, dammit Sony just release the beta and just improve it gradually.

[Sayai jin]

No no more talking or articles, just release it already. Give the people what they want.

[thehitman]

Some1 has got into home!! using this!!! im still trying to get this ps3 proxy thing to work I think im out of luck because Im not sure if the program works because of vista still trying though!

[Sev]

But I, Sev1512 have debunked that guys claims. He is a liar, and playing on everyones desire to beta test home.

Here is the link
http://boardsus.playstation...

[Clinton514]

Sheet.

edit: That person is having legal actions pressed against him soon. Haha.

edit 2: after watching the video again, it's possible this is some clever trick. Tsk tsk

Just to let everyone know there is NO v1.00

[timmyp53]

maybe it will come sooner than expected.

[mingeeta]

just tried it and worked great and as described. It loads up Home under the network of the XMB. Only thing is it wont let you connect to the servers, as they are obviously not up yet. As this was originally sourced from the new store, looks like home is coming with the new store next week :)

[PimpHandHappy]

......

[potenquatro]

HOME will be good.can't wait.

[TheExecutive]

lol... no way its coming out next week. keep dreaming though...

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

MGS Online Beta
HOME
Resistance 2 Trailer
COD4 Maps
Still Alive (from Portal) on Rock Band
Crappy Blu-ray trailers
GT5:Prologue
Pixel Junk Monsters Add-ons
BRAND NEW STORE!

I doubt HOME will come with all that great stuff, but one can dream

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

That warning wasn't kidding, was it?

That place is spam central!

[George Washington]

this DOES WORK i confirm it working for ps3 v 2.20 . however it just wont let you connect to the home servers. and by reading the welcome screen it says version 8.6 is coming out tommorow ! :)

[Mystery_Person]

If it was coming out next week they would say something instead of just making home pop out of nowhere like that. The new warhawk patch is really fun! I thought warhawk sucked. WHAT'S TAKING THEM SO LONG?!!?! I want HOME and GTA IV now!!!!

[lelik]

george washington roflamo best name ever

[George Washington]

i was cracking up while making it. people next to me were like wtf...

[Daz]

I dont like home i think its crap but thats my opinion lol.

Hope people enjoy and turn out to be great for them. Could turn into something big.

[danarc]

Have you even used it before?

If not, you can't really pass judgement...

[TurdStationPee]

everyone on the latest N4G podcast said Sony should ditch Play House in favor of an actual service like Live, like they recently just aped with Marketplace.

[themyk]

is it just me or does this guy leave the douchiest comments ever.

[leon76]

Ahahahahahah!!!! So @sshole.......

[Mc187]

lol

[Vip3r]

Hasn't that site made up a lot of BS before? I hope it is true but I'm not getting my hopes up.

[TheJBag]

it will be one of the single greatest days of my life
MGO BETA + Home = Win

my girl will hate me, lol. i will be at my ps3 all weekend!

but can you imagine?
i get to play MGO, a game i have been waiting to play since e3 05, and Home in the same day!!

lets hope this story is true!

[FinalFantasyFangirl]

But I don't see Home as being very good. I don't get why people are excited about it.

[-EvoAnubis-]

That's because you're an idiot.

BTW, you think you're being clever, but you are wrong. I know exactly who you are.

[LONEWOLF231]

You know you are excited too!!!
Stop acting like you are not.

[Blackcanary]

I followed thelinks and did everything it says and i now have the Playstation@Home Icon on my XMB. Just can't use it yet lol

When i click on the icon it says This Content can not be opend on your account.

where have i gone wrong lol.

its not installed on to my PS3 i donlownloaded all the stuff on my Laptop then when i turned on my PS3 the icon was on my PS3. So my PS3 is fine.

[Blackcanary]

I've installed it and its not a Virus and i can delete it of the hard drive havn't tryed longing on yet.

[jke82]

install some unsubstantiated program that could be ANYTHING like a virus or something just as malicious on a 400$+ piece of hardware, just to see an icon that you cant use yet, for a program no one is really sure is really home.......i bet the crazys you see installing this on their ps3s are the same ones whos computer you go to and it takes an hour to open up the calculator.....gee what a coincidence......no thanks people i think ill wait for the official version rather than ya know risk bricking my system, or installing some evil thing or god knows what

[skelly022782]

I keep reading all the hype about this "home" idea. Is this a game that is coming out? This may be the most newbie post ever =P

[Blackcanary]

Its not really a game its a place where u can meet up with people around world go in to the flats and watch films on there sony braver HD TVs the Film would come from there hard drive. You can go to the cinema play chest in the home sqaure go to the arcade play Pool or Bolwing or play on the Arcade you can meet up in the rooms if your a in a clan and plan things your gonna do in that game you can go into your trophy room and see the awards you've won sorry about spelling and you can listen to peoples music that they have on there hard Drive in the Flats and so much more you can talk to people to useing ur head set or Blue tooth head set.

lol i think thats everything i think theres more than that.

[Daz]

[PimplePopperMD]

this story is a waste of space. im pretty sure i dont benefit at all from this. and it means nothing for anyone...now
