Possible Link Between Home & Store Updates

Psnathome.com believe that there is a possible connecting point in the two updates for the playstation store and Home.

[subzero9]

Cross your fingers and hope its true!

[Tarasque]

I keep telling myself it wont happen, But man that sure would be nice.

"GETS ON HIS KNEES AND CRIES, PLEASE PLEASE LET IT BE"

[Lord Anubis]

eh, we don't have a major update for home at the moment. Our update happened a week ago. Sorry.

[juuken]

My fingers and toes are crossed. x3

[Shadow Flare]

...I think i'd rather take the Home Beta over 10 awesome rock band songs every week. Think about it this way though, if the ENTIRE PSN is down for 15 hours, and not a thing involving Home is included in that, THAT would be more odd. They're gonna HAVE to have an open beta sometime and Sony said they have a huge surprise for us. So this is as good a time as any, seriously. Something about Home has got to be involved in this PSN update, i just hope its the Beta. The only other Huge surprise i can think of is getting the MGSO beta or in-game xmb. Or for me personally, FF7 on the psn store, but i don't think its the last one lol

[subzero9]

FF7 would be pretty cool even though im not FF fan but loved FF&, but i would rather Home beta over anything right now (except a really really early release for socom)

[Palodios]

FF7 would be pretty cool. Didnt they say that when the store re-opens, it would have the warhawk expansion and GT5:P in it?

[LSDARBY]

OMG you people are just setting yourselves up for disapointment.

[Shadow Flare]

(said the person trying to convince his friends not to buy an xbox 360)......Whoa i did not just say that people. That was an illusion, no 360 related comment here >_>

But there's nothing wrong with being optimistic Darby. I know it probably won't be a Beta, but Sony has gotta be including some Home features in this update

[Scott_Steinberg]

prolly a video store? Time will tell.

[pandabear]

i agree, sure they have got to add the video store or music, or both!!!

I would love it if Home Open Beta came tomorrow but think probably not (although the servers are down for 15 hrs - must be doing a lot of testing on whatever they are adding tomorrow).

[Milky]

they should put classic starsky and hutch episodes on there since they r published by sony.

[bennyboilu5]

don't get your selves to existed its possible by a small amout its not been confirmed and it probly wont be happening

[St0]

Why does everyone think it was Sony that said there's going to be a surprise on monday, it was Konami so it has to be something to do with MGS.

[subzero9]

yeah the MGO Beta sign ups but thats in japan and europe, we americans have to pay $5 to be in the beta

[schitthammer]

I'm betting a on a PS3 version of Rumble Roses.

/joke

[saweetarab]

Not going to be Home Beta, i can almost guarentee it

[subzero9]

do you work for Sony? uhm didn't think so, so don't guarantee anything you are not involved with.

[BeaArthur]

I would think that if it was actually going to be the Home beta that they would have released information about it. For as big of a release as Home will be I seriously doubt they will just release it without saying anything.

[subzero9]

Thats why some things are called "surprises"

[BeaArthur]

We shall see but I wouldn't put money on it.

[Milky]

yh they would definitely make it an event.

[Shadow Flare]

You know how Sony said before that they could make the PS3 Eyetoy capable of doing that hand-monitor thing from Minority Report? They should have incorperated something like that in the new PSN Store, its the perfect thing to use it in

[Alcohog]

We heard the April 15th date for Home months ago. I think its pretty likely to enter an open beta in the coming weeks.

[CViper]

I mean its simple to spell check a story right?

[Shadow Flare]

yeah but some people need to read phonetically

[themyk]

my god you people and your goddammmnnn spell check. somethings they are obvious typos and you spelling police are always right there to try to make somebody look stupid for "misspelling" a word. jesus that pisses me off.

[CViper]

Some stuff is just ridiculous. Credibility and professionalism should shine through just a tad sometimes. I know its the game industry but still, checking spelling is pretty rudimentary.

edit:

The poster says he didn't have time to. Thats 100% fair. You guys know there is so much fud to trudge through on this site, usually when you see spelling errors and mistakes, the source isn't credible. Or whatever the author is trying to say doesn't seem credible.

[Shadow Flare]

It's 'Some things are obvious typos' not 'somethings they are obvious typos'. Get it right

[MaximusPrime]

im honored to be called "someone". Im the one reported the spelling mistake.

[Palodios]

Hey CViper, the correct word you were looking for was the contraction "it's". The word "its" is used to show possesion.

Seriously, don't be a grammar nazi and then make mistakes yourself.

[BeaArthur]

CViper...ahahah, I noticed that too. I mean we all make spelling errors (I am a horrible speller myself) but seriously that is what spell check is for.

[usatee]

home is a myth!

[mbmonk]

We 'beleave' that...

Really? That is just pathetic.

think HOME will come out this week, as much as I want it too. But, all those who say it cant happen because they havent announced it publicly. Maybe they (Sony) would drop it without notice so their servers dont get over whelmed as much. Sure, news would spread like wild fire, but it would be mainly the harcore gamers who are on the boards at first, while the more casual gamers it will take a bit more time for them to catch on that its out?? Microsoft didnt mention anything about a video store before they dropped it and they still had server problems through the first weekend.

Honestly, if the surprise is a video store, I will be very unimpressed.

[whoelse]

Thing is, i cant help but think why would Sony keep something so big as that a secret...

[Marty8370]

The PS Store is down for 15 hours, Sony's probably testing the servers can put up with the extra traffic. I mean a new look 'PS Store', MGO beta and loads of the content will attract loads of traffic at once. Sony probably don't want another delay like GT5P launch in Europe.

[TUFFnNYC]

Good point. I agree bro. Never thought of it like that. Everyone so hype bout HOME and what not we forget the simplest things.

[drdre74]

Home is never going to come out. SONY just made all that Home stuff up.

[predator]

lets hope the leave us with a nice suprise, im hoping for Metal Gear Solid as a downloadable classic like on the japanesse store....complete that again and then onto the beta would be a sweet week

[Blackcanary]

People that keep saying the MGOBeta will proberly be it is just a bit silly because we all know about that so that isn't a surprise. IF its Home then thats great but i'm thinking it might be downloadable music all to be able to buy PS2 games on the store.

[TUFFnNYC]

Well seeing how the economy is going and the housing market in turmoil i wont bet on HOME being released. JK. Hope its true cuz those who bought a PS3 at launch have been homeless with no help of the American Red Cross. PeAcE

[Milky]

It is brobably mgs1 ps classic since it has konami under the blog.

[TheWickedOne]

Rock Band songs.

[Yipee Bog]

Rock Band songs should be like ten cents a pop. Rock Band was like what $170?

[Chriswsm]

If whatever happens occurs in the US and the UK at the SAME TIME I will eat my hat

[SacredENA]

No Home in this updated, confirmed by Noel on Playstation Blog:

SLICKT8000 | April 14th, 2008 at 12:15 pm

Despite what some rumour mongers would like for you to believe, no, Home is NOT a part of this update.

[DFresh]

I'm happy enough right now because tomorrow the new store is released.
Gonna play GT5 Prologue, get some new videos, try some new demos, and just enjoy it.
Sony will release Home soon and they'll take their time until then I'll be playing GT5.
Sony never ceases to impress me.

[user1924498]

Home is pathetic. Why do PS3 owners wants a stupid social area. Go buy world of warcraft if your life is that sad. Seriously, Home is nothing to look forward to. I look forward to games...something PS3 owners aren't used to.
