PSXE Show To Debut In PlayStation Home Tomorrow
We've been talking about a big announcement for most of 2011 and although a certain PSN issue delayed us for a while, the time has finally come.
The News
What we're simply calling "The PSXE Show" will debut in the PlayStation Home Community Theater tomorrow. It's the first episode in what should be an enduring series; the first episode is a little longer (about 15 minutes) simply for the sake of introduction, but we plan future shows - at least for the time being - to come in at around 10 minutes. Indeed, the second episode, which is already complete, is about that long, and the third (working on now) will be about that length as well.
The Show
Presented in 1080p high definition, I'll be your host and we'll talk about everything in the world of gaming. My brother Charles has worked to present a slick editing format for the shows, and you'll probably see evidence of increased editing capability between the first two episodes. Such technical proficiency may continue to grow with time, depending on what type of equipment we might be willing to spring for... Anyway, Arnold - who has been doing other things, as most of you know - should pop up at some point as well. Each show will run for 2 weeks in the Home Theater and provided we stay on top of things, we should continue to have new episodes on a continual basis.
The first episode is a little old (again, we were delayed) but ironically, the topics we discuss seem to fit- on tap is the NGP (now named the PlayStation Vita), Duke Nukem Forever (which just launched this week), and the ongoing debate concerning Final Fantasy XIII. I also answer a reader question concerning Twisted Metal, but that is the only outdated piece of material; this was shot before the game received its October 4 release date. I actually told David Jaffe about the blunder; he seemed fine with it. ;)
Our Fans
And finally, as if I needed to say it- there's no way this would've happened without all you dedicated readers. Granted, this move is designed to grow and expand PSXE so it's more about garnering new fans, but our established readership continues to drive us forward. And please, feel free to come on into the Home Theater tomorrow night, between 8 and 10 p.m. EST (5-7 p.m. PST), where I and other members of the Home community will meet you. A little meet and greet to celebrate the show's launch. The Home guys only do this once, but I'll be around during the evenings when a new episode arrives.
Where We'll Be
If you haven't been in Home before, it isn't hard to find the Community Theater. That's where we'll be. But also, we'll be introduced at the PlayStation Blog (tomorrow, I believe), and you'll see a little commercial that brings us into the world of the PlayStation fan via one of the best online sources around. Also, keep an eye on our YouTube Channel, where we may post older shows after they've run in Home.
And of course, we're right here at PSXE as always, serving our readers the only way we know how.
What Will Change
Besides new fans, not a goddamn thing.

Anyway, congrats on the exposure and I'll try to make the meet-up tomorrow. Everyone should be aware that the theaters can have multiple instances, so you may need to search for the PSXE regulars.
p.s. Don't be surprised if, like The Highlander, I'm wearing a female avatar.

The following rant is THIS TIME conveniently related to PS HOME; let's pretend I just redownloaded Home just to check out the PSXE show:
"After going on it for the first time since 2009 I have to mention this:
I really don't understand why they didn't decide to make PS Home the mandatory interface for PSN. It's absolutely shocking how better it is.
Began by me noticing how fast the download was compared to last time, and how smoother the design looked. Then the shortcut interface [Navigator] popped up. I was instantly intrigued to not only find how the layout is similiar to the much laggier XMB, but also how colourful and perfectly balanced it was. Thoughts appeared in my mind as to how awesome it could of been if this was PSN. This is what I was actually expeting before it even released.
After shuffling through the warbrobe, I spawned within the apartment before eyehumping the outside view, went out into the open square [which again has a much faster download time than before] and forced my friend to redownload Home. I then proceeded to invite him into the same server, to be surprised at how damn fine and clean the shortcut pad interface was. The friends list was a single friends list, not some mesh up with a spinning cinder of circles with no feeling of user-friendliness. Every feature, for instance in 'personal' was branched and tabbed into specific and tidy elements. This goes on with that sleek list, from creating groups to clubs, game launching, download queues to settings for editing the smallest feature. I seriously bet private chat would be achievable with Home.
^So the paragraph above was for those who like the quick and simple layout so they can get on with the playing of the games. But if there are those that demand an experience off of the console's affection alone, then Home is beyond enough to keep everyone satisfied, especially with the current amount of free downloads. There's endless confetti and so many different forms of entertainment. My friend didn't know what he downloaded and ended up going through a bizzare tour of entering games in and out. Users dress in funny costumes, there are ultramodern structure concepts and there's always a game of pool or chess to play.
All of this - The store could of been the actual PS Store, the cinema could of been the Video department, the TV and console within your apartment could of been the portal to playing the current inserted disc [funnily enough you can actually enter titles straight from Home interface anyway], PSN avatars would of existed, and the network would of been more social than ever. I know I'm nitpicking, but there so many things in Home that could easily be melded and tweaked with PSN to make something that would of thwarted XBL. Especially for free."

Btw Fane, t'was a good reply. Haven't checked out the stores obviously since the PS Store itself was disable for a while though I trust your word on it.

Personally I'm glad the PS Vita has a new interface design. Everything about this handheld feels and sounds superb, so I really doubt the new layout will be lackluster. Infact I even predict it'll be an improvement.

If you watch carefully, more and more PS Store content is appearing in Home. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a PS games Store store front, a video store and a music store in the Mall before long. After all, it makes sense to push that Store content in a retail environment you already own.

Site staff, i hope that last line is true, if this all goes commercial, where's left for news that dares challenge trendy "opinions"?
I want to continue seeing call-out posts, reviews that don't repeat the programm- sorry, opinions of every other site.
I'll be checking it out.

I'll probably jump into Home to check it out, but I don't have the lil keyboard controller attachment & I hate having to use the ole 2 finger pecking system on Home or my PS3, so I wont be talking to anyone.
Not that I want anyone to think I'm antisocial or anything(well, actually I am, but that's besides the point, LMFAO)

True, but I don't have one & can't even think about one for the foreseeable future, as I got caught in a mass layoff massacre of day-1 people at my casino about 5 weeks ago.
And now I'm over a month behind in all my major bills. Plus to top it off my truck broke down 3 weeks ago & has been sitting in a frigging shopping center parking lot ever since due to lack of funds.

We are not affiliated with Sony in any way. They are not paying us for any content on the site, or for the show. They also have no say what goes into the shows, although we do have to pass through their legal department for obvious reasons.
The fact that they're letting us do this amazing advertising for free just blows me away.The site remains independently owned and operated as it always had in the past.

oh and a little something off topic: Ben have you unlocked both endings of infamous 2 yet? If so it may be a really cool topic for discussion in an editorial or something. I gotta say the endings in that game may be some of the most powerful out of any game i've played.
PS if you do an editorial dont forget SPOILER ALERT in big blinking letters

The ending was definitely a little twisted and left me wondering what is to come in the future. It could certainly make for an interesting discussion topic. (currently playing through as good)
As for the show, I hope everybody drops by keyboards in hand (possibly a snack... skittles? popcorn? salmon?) idk, whatever you enjoy whilst watching tv or a weekly webisode in the comfort of your Home (pun intended) see ya there!

Well done Ben and congrats to PSXE for this coup. Wish I'd thought of that. This IS better than a space because I can actually have time for this on a regular basis. You guys hit up Buser and are willing to talk in front of tons of insane neurotic gamers? You got balls of steel.

Here's hoping it all goes well and thing grow as expected, and why should it not? Great community and great product on offer, thanks to Ben editorials and reviews... not to mention the interesting and varied comments section here.
I am 12 hours ahead of you lot... welcome to the future I say...
Anyway, I will pop in and see it happening if I get my timings right... who knows, lets see if people will recognise the Q!

Don't waste your time correcting everyone else's language. Read Romans 14 and leave Ben alone.
Telling people what's "right or wrong" is not an effective form of ministry, nor is it what Christians are even supposed to do. Last I checked, the whole reason Christians are Christians is because they admitted they aren't perfect. If we were perfect, we wouldn't even be in the business, dude. Stop judging people and get over silly disputable matters.
The Bible says so, lol.
Also, in this case, it's "vain" not "vein". No one used the Lord's name in their blood streams.
@Jed
At least he was respectful in his request. No need to go douching your way about.
