tapedeck Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I haven't read any problems with bought stuff. Tbh, I'd be shocked if you didn't keep stuff you've bought. Cheers Daft : peace:
flameboy Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Oh crap all my unlockables are gone! I know this is beta but its horrible. Has anyone accessed the GT5P booth? Apparently you can unlock the pod. Nope didn't know there was one... I bought a coat (for 59p or something, just to see how it works) and it still remains...so it just unlockables that have gone missing.
flameboy Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Oh i got everything back. To get them load up previous games. E.g Namco Museum. Then when you go back home you get tons of unlocks. Back to normal now. Except you have to decorate again. How long for Sackboys? well that didnt happen with the echochrome unlockables I had to play again and unlock them
flameboy Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 same here. Though i did that first thing. Some are saying they were able to by going to different areas. I can confirm the namco works. I still don't have the namco things...how do I get them again? is it in the jap psn store, or do I go into home on my japanese account?
MATtheHAT Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I still don't have the namco things...how do I get them again? is it in the jap psn store, or do I go into home on my japanese account? Go into the Jap store, then look for the 'n' logo out of the namco logo, there should be a bit of english text in the decription that says 'Playstation Home'. Just download that mate.
dazzybee Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Okay, had another dabble, still not keen on it, though I do spend my whole time just being impressed by the whole thing. A few questions - I thought you had a trophy cabinet, with all your trophies on? Is this coming later? - Can you get more rooms for your house? - I'm presuming the HUB doesn't have EVERY user in there, so it is completely random? Is it regional? How does this work? And how does it work for meeting up with friends? - How do the clubs work you can set up and join? I have a lot more questions actually, I just dont' understand it too much. It sort of feels like a real life animal crossing!

It sort of feels like a real life animal crossing! Just gonna answer this question. Each area has a soft limit of 50 and hard limit of 64. What this means is once 50 people are in any given area another version of it loads to exist at the same time. The reason there is a second limit of 64 is so there is space reserved for people to invite friends in. I think they have said that they hope to increase these numbers as system stability and infrastructure improves.
flameboy Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 -Trophy cabinets and stuff along those lines are coming later.-No idea yet but you can get lots of places(int he future anyway) -Flameboy explained his answer well. -Clubs cost money to set up. Joining them is easy though and you will get to do things like clan tactics to special events. One thing i recommend is try out the different regions for HOME. UK, US and Japan. Each is unique and has unique games, features and areas. The japan one for example has a christmas tree and snowfall. The most games as well. They have darts for example. Different stores. The US and JP ones have 3rd party areas too(Far Cry, Uncharted, Namco, TGS) etc.. With mini games. Also browse each store there are freebies for even branded goods. I brought a samurai sword set for example. The whole experience is promising but its very early and needs tons of work. I expect huge improvements swiftly. By the end of next year I doubt we will be looking at Home the same way. Yeah I feel the same there is a lot of work still to be done on the service as a whole. I think of it as a newly built house that starts as a blank canvas but then gets added to as the years go on... I think though our UK version is somewhat behind others especially the JPN version.
Daft Posted December 23, 2008 Author Posted December 23, 2008 Our cinema rocks. Everyone else's suck.
Daft Posted December 24, 2008 Author Posted December 24, 2008 All the stuff I unlocked and lost has come back with the latest update. The PacMAN t-shirt is back on.
dwarf Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Wow there's loads of new stuff up on the Store (most notably the MGS LBP thing) including new games and demos of old stuff.
flameboy Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 lol yeah great update too much to play! Finally found the Namco home stuff...didn't realise it was a stand alone game and all those arcade classics for free...
Daft Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 The Red Bull Air Race is live in Home. I'm checking it out now.
Daft Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 Oh my god the EA sports space is amazing. Where is it? On the American Home? Edit: Oh right, not out yet.
dwarf Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/sony-us-slags-off-rival-consoles funny article.
Daft Posted April 8, 2009 Author Posted April 8, 2009 I thought I'd revive this thread with Xi and Home kind of gaining momentum. The Godfather II Gambles On PlayStation Home EA joins the ranks of companies with a PlayStation Home presence a bit earlier than anticipated with The Godfather II space, complete with Texas Hold'Em table. EA's PlayStation Home space for The Godfather II arrives tomorrow, well before the highly anticipated EA Sports Complex launches later this spring. Where there are mobsters there's bound to be gambling going on, so EA has included a Texas Hold 'Em table amongst the leather furniture and undoubtedly smoky-smelling carpet, giving PlayStation Home visitors yet another interactive thing to do in the increasingly interactive service. To celebrate, Sony is holding their first Celebrity Poker Tournament tomorrow night, urging Homies (term coined!) to show up dressed a generic approximation of their favorite celebrity. The tourney kicks off at 5pm pacific, and ends when the rival mob kicks in the doors, spraying the crowd with bullets...or whenever people stop playing. If gangsters aren't your thing, be sure to check out Capcom's newly refreshed Resident Evil 5 space, where a new mini-game quest and a souvenir shop with character costumes awaits the wary traveler. Do Chris and Sheva count as celebrities? http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/04/08/playstation-home-news-electronic-arts-unveils-the-godfather-ii-space-capcom-refreshes-resident-evil-5-special-events/ We still don't have the Uncharted and the Resistance space so I don't know if this will hit the PAL Home. This looks pretty awesome though. All the free stuff in Home is great. It's funny to think you have to buy Texas Hold'em on XBLA. What does everyone think of Xi? Is anyone up to date with all the challenges?
dwarf Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) I haven't brought myself to carry on yet Daft but I will do! And what's the Resistance space? I love Resistance! Oh and I had a chess match with a German guy earlier, could've won but ended in stalemate after noob moves by me. But anyway, it was really enjoyable and I am actually starting to appreciate Home a bit more. It connects people and gets people chatting and stuff. You can be a cock occasionally which is always fun. Edited April 8, 2009 by dwarf

It was mentioned ages ago and I think it was in the beta. http://kotaku.com/361560/how-resistance-fall-of-man-makes-home-really-really-cool There are a couple pics of it around somewhere. Yeah, I really like wondering around home. It was quite cool meeting up in Home today. When there are more reasons to party up in it I can definitely seeing it being a lot of fun. I'd love to see people's apartments as well. See what they've done with them.
dwarf Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I'm not going to bother with the buying stuff/sprucing up appartments but general wandering and doing some of the games and chatting is all good. Surprisingly entertaining just walking around with you in the Xi hub thing lol. Meditating pro, maybe you'll show me the way to enlightenment one day.
Daft Posted April 8, 2009 Author Posted April 8, 2009 My apartment looks pretty awesome but I only have free stuff in it. I've got the Pac Man arcade machine and a couple Resident Evil 5 figures around the place. With the free stuff that keeps coming out with games you can make the apartments look pretty cool. I'd love for your apartment to be accessible offline (so it loads a lot quicker) from the menu and also work from the PS3 boot up if you want. Basically a virtual XMB. You'd have to have a TV and a PS3 in the apartment and basically things that represented stuff on the XMB so you could access everything. Obviously it would be optional so you could just boot up as usual.

Originally when you pressed start it had a PSP that brought am a XMB for Home options but they got rid of it and replaced it with the current system.
chrizkerr2 Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Been loving Home recently! Got most of the free stuff from the shops (All the Watchman stuff) Just been reading through the past couple of pages... Is it still possible to get all that Namco stuff? And do we have an N-E club yet? :P
Daft Posted April 9, 2009 Author Posted April 9, 2009 (edited) Two new shops in Home. One is a fancy dress one. I hope there are a couple free items. Been loving Home recently!
