Home Sporadically Hitting Major Territories Throughout The Day
Well, unless you live in a cave, you've heard that the open beta for PlayStation Home launches today. However, many of you have the same exact question on your minds, "exactly when will I see it?"
We may not know "exactly" when you'll see Home, but some people already have it while others are still waiting. European users seem to be waiting the longest, but there's an update from PS3 Fanboy: The client has been patched to version 1.03 and UK users can expect Home to go live "early PM UK" time, and when it's ready to go, it will appear on the XMB "as soon as the final switch is pulled." Of course, you can't just sit there staring at the screen; you'll have to restart to gain access once everything is set to go. Now, we're aware it's past "early PM" in the UK, so we'll be interested to hear if any of our Euro readers have Home already. Home moderator TedTheDog wouldn't venture a guess as to "how long it will take for each region to verify its elements are working," but we'll start that process right now: which of you have Home, and when did you get it?
For our part, we were in the closed beta test so we've already tooled around in Home for a little while. We also know we want a PSX Extreme-themed Home space, although we're not entirely sure how we'll go about it just yet. That's something to think about for the future, and if our readers have ideas on that, feel free to let us know. We may even give certain people administrative rights to keep our pad appropriately decorated and up-to-date when we don't have the time to get in there. But these are all just thoughts for now. :)

Some suggestions for games on my part? R/C racing track, a paint ball arena where avatars can have battles, A real racing track/off road racing? If they're short little games that are well made then I'll join in.

About the Home space: I think that there is no conveinant way of pulling off a whole space. The clubs only allow 32 (which would be a great idea for active forum members, but there are over a hundred active commenters). I'm sure Sony charges extremely high sponsoring fees for a whole space, but I obviously wouldn't know for sure, try contacting Sony's Home management team. Right now I think the best we could do is a small club and/or organized meetings in a common space a few times a week. Ben: Just so you know I'm willing to help with management of a club or space, whatever we end up doing.

And just for future reference stupid console nicknames (ie: crapbox, paystation) or spelling MS or Sony with a $ are not cute, original, funny, clever, ironic, etc. They are stupid. They make you look dumb, your comment look even dumber, and makes the entire site look dumb.

i dont break down your thoughts so dont stomp on mine! by no means am i an xbox fan (by the way, ill refer to it however i damn well please, i.e. CRAPBOX) i was well aware of costs but to many new users of the beta the cash aspect will come a a suprise because of so much stipulation on the “FREE” service aspect. plus all the rumors surrounding trophy support as a possible monitary system (think of it as if you were a new user and didnt read and participate in all the forums, put yourself into a noobs shoes is all im saying). by the way didnt your mom ever teach you not to call people stupid. ..... it just makes you sound stupid.

"was a big home fan but now it can blow me. the monitary system for open home is just that. MONEY. actual cash."
Where in there were you lamenting over the new users? You...YOU...were whining not making some grand statement for the user base as a whole. So please don't pretend that you were.
I do agree however that the money aspect will come as a minor surprise to some, but those will be the same people that see that new icon this weekend and say, "Home? WTF is this? Can I eat it?" Even on this site Ben posted about how people were afraid of PSN becoming a tiered system the way Live is. Because there IS money being exchanged in Home, is that a precursor to a straight up subscription fee?
As far as trophies as a currency... they were never going to replace cash-money they were just going to give you a couple virtual dollar and cents to trick out your fake apartment. The service is free but SOMEONE has to pay for it. Honestly we'll be lucky if Sony can keep Home up and running on micro transactions and advertising dollars alone.

OFF TOPIC : I just seen the NPD numbers for November they are horrific. The PS3 got CRUSHED. Based on that one month I give the PS3 an extra 4 months to catch up with the XBOX 360 and a little over a year for the Wii. Damn
