The day we’ve been waiting for is here! And this is just the beginning…
Today we announced that PlayStation Home will enter into open beta, and will be available to everyone tomorrow. This milestone represents the very beginning of a long journey together, as PlayStation Home is an ever evolving, always changing, organic experience — full of new friends to meet, new events to enjoy, and new content to explore.
If this will be your first time in PlayStation Home, be sure to talk to folks that have been around for a while, as they can show you the ropes. We also have a tutorial built in that will get you started with the controls, as well as help menus for you to reference in the Menu Pad. If you don’t have a USB keyboard or Bluetooth headset paired with your PlayStation 3, now is the time to do so – either option will allow you to easily talk and meet everyone.
One of the first things that you’ll notice that there are always things going on – parties, tournaments, events – some of which will be announced, and some of which that will just happen. You’ve got to be there to be a part of the party, so make sure to log in often to see what is going on.
If you want to know what’s coming up, check out the PlayStation Home forums, as we will be announcing events, tournaments, content updates, and feature revisions there, and by actively participating, you will be the first to know. You’ll also find that the PlayStation Home forums are alive with conversation from the PlayStation Home community discussing everything from feature requests to new clubs to join.
Many of you will have already seen the news regarding participation in PlayStation Home from your favorite game publishers and brands, including Activision, Disney, Eidos, Electronic Arts, Lucas Arts, THQ and UBISOFT as well as Sony Pictures, Paramount, Red Bull, Ligne Roset, and Diesel. As you can imagine, with this many partners already on board, PlayStation Home will grow rapidly, so you’ll need to check back often to see what is new. We’ll do our best to keep you informed on what is going on, but with so much happening in PlayStation Home, there will always be new surprises and secrets to discover. If we simply told you about everything, then it just wouldn’t be as fun for you to discover…
For those of you that have been in PlayStation Home for a while, I wanted to take a moment to discuss something very cool that you will notice right away. Once you get in, you’ll see that a redesigned Central Plaza is there to greet you – we’ve made major upgrades as a result of your community feedback. Thank you!
First of all, the Central Plaza now features a new 4 player mini-game called “Saucer Pop,” where each player launches a flying saucer from a take-off pad and flies around popping bubbles. These bubbles contain stars that have points attached, but watch out for the bubbles with bombs which will take you out if you’re not careful. You also must keep an eye on your saucer’s fuel gauge and collect bubbles with fuel cells or else you will quickly meet a watery fate. Success is all about the high scores, so good luck out there! I’ve been playing for a while now while we’ve been developing the game, so I’m getting pretty good…for those of you that know me, prepare to pop!
Secondly, you will also see some changes to Listen@Home. Now, you’ll be able to select from a number of songs and vote on your favorites. Which ever song gets the most votes plays for everyone, so be sure to get your voice heard and get down on the dance floor.
I could go on and on about all the cool new things you are going see and find in PlayStation Home, both on day one of open beta and beyond. The important thing to remember is that PlayStation Home will continue to evolve and change overtime, so be sure to get in often so you don’t miss out…
See you in PlayStation Home.

I thought they were gunna have TVs and radios
This is BS… what is going on.. fix this garbage…
it doesnt pass the connection lost or HUB_PS3, man maybe wait another hours
We better get something sweet and unique for all this bull$hit… this is simply unacceptable

sony should have expected this
man when we taught that we had home
this is a pain in a ass
no wonder microsoft sold more consoles becasue they either delay everything or when something comes out its unfinished or half-as$ed…. Sony has become very unrelyable…
im fed up with Sonys bull$hit
they truely belong in last place in the console war…
I GOT HOME!!!! DOWNLOADING RIGHT NOW!!!!
come on sony fix it… fix the error…
@jryder2008
Dont be soo happy because it wont sign in when you already download it.
you have to wait for sony to fix the error.
It happen to me, i am very mad because of this problem.
anyone has jack buser made another post.
Guys sony doesn’t delay, Microsoft rushes.
I don’t even have an icon for Home. Anybody else have this problem?

PSN:
VAsFynest
as the thread dies so does hope WE MUST FIGHT ON WARRIORS!
what everyone think?
I’m in!!! THE THREAD WILL NOT DIE.. I think that they are trying to charge us for too much… more free content needed… you can’t upgrade your space without buying something…
yeah its to commercialized already but we will see
perhaps if they were to create a credits system… ie … x dollars gets you x credits and then make the items cost x credits but seriously… 1.75 for a model plane on a shelf…
are you serious their charging for stupid stupid planes 1.75 pshhh youll never catch me with tht crap ill be fine with the basic it should be like you play mini games and get credit or tokens and you save up enough you can get those items the better the item the more coins
thats what i was thinking! Sony needs to rethink that… I couldn’t find any free object :(
yeah man its a shame i was loving the whole everything is free on ps3 thing (except games and movies of course) oh well
yea thats the winner on ps3… they killed it here…
add me on ps3 =Ryoohki2500 tht way when ever the sh1t works play some pool or w.e later
haha ok… Will do that now…
can anyone sign in?
yes… I had some luck… having trouble going back on though
Ryookhi the PS says your acc does not exist.
no nobody i kno has been able 2 and people are still complainin on a diffrent forum
Add me… ReedME … I know a few who have been on… mainly server overload problems i think.
this is lame ill go play LBP to ease up.

yea… it does take a few tries!!! BUT it works… just really hate the commercial aspect!
