PlayStation Home's New TV Channel
See Full ImageBefore the holidays, we heard about Sodium One, the MMO-type game within PlayStation Home. Now, the ambitious social service gets its own TV channel (of sorts).
If you wander on into Home, you'll probably notice something new in the Home Theater: it's the "Home TV" channel, hosted by Perry Flynn and designed to keep you updated on everything related to this virtual community. They'll tell you about all the latest news and updates (which is helpful, considering the rapidly increasing size of Home) and give you the details of upcoming events and gatherings. Furthermore, you can feel like a member of the family by forwarding your own photos or news to Sony, thereby making them aware of parties and get-togethers. If they deem it cool enough, it just might show up on a new Home TV episode and your party will suddenly experience a big influx of attendees. All you gotta do is send an e-mail to hometv@scee.net and cross your fingers... It's probably a good idea that Home has its own update channel, primarily due to the significant additions frequently made over the course of any given month. These days, it's easy to miss some of the small updates given the community's expansive size. Besides, although we have the likes of Pulse and Qore, we haven't yet had anything that's exclusively dedicated to Home. So it's a nice touch.
The potential for Home has always been there and if you've been busy doing other things, you need to reacquaint yourself with the significantly upgraded PS3 community.

I know there is a second part to great minds thinking alike, but I never consider that option.

Now I got an external 320 gb hd that can save most of my files onto it it's just being bothered doing it all and not spending a night playing my beloved games lol.
When I was on Home I did enjoy it and laughed at the idiots saying to girls or alledged girls on there you look hot wtf is that all about lol ? It is a computer animated bunch of pixels haha used to make me laugh so much. Best thing I enjoyed was the bowling, the EA racing game was a bit easy.

i remember trying to watch the E3 speech on home this year and first it took bloody 10 minutes to buffer the video.
than every 5 words jack would get out it would pause to buffer even more.
i had to turn it off and watched the whole thing on my laptop instead, lucky IGN broadcast it.
i probably could of watched the whole thing on my laptop in the time it took to buffer 5 minutes on home.
i really wish sony would stop being such tight asses and shell out for some decent servers, im getting sick of my net on my ps3 being so freaking slow!
if i have to shell out 10 bucks a month for faster servers, so be it, JUST SORT IT OUT!

i agree with TheHighlander: we need more of these in our apartments, like the Audi TV in it's respective one.
would be nice if we could switch channels too on different stuffs on PS HOME as in real life .. ha!
the music option is a long asked feature, would be so nice, as well as some wall-mounted digital photo frame, it must be easy to implement ... COME ON!!!
as for the speed of PSN/HOME, actually i'm surprise for i have better bandwidth on the PS3 than on PC, i can stream videos or play games much better on my slow connection, the protocol it used must be different & not filtered ...still would like having better one for a real smooth experience.
thank you SONY for bringing more content to us, looking forward to what's next!
huh, btw happy new year everyone!
cheers!

Sony's on a ball right now. Glad to see them on an uphill slope.
