160 0

Update: We experienced a minor glitch this morning with the Buzz space in PlayStation. We know what the issue is and we are working to resolve it as soon as possible. Please check back with the blog for an update on when it will go live.

Greetings, Homies. Fasten your seatbelts, because we have the most exciting news to hit PlayStation Home since Open Beta! We know you loyal Home fans have been asking for media sharing since the get-go, and we’re very happy to tell you that the first stage is here!

Photo sharing, the first feature to support user-generated content, is finally coming to PlayStation Home! Starting today, Thursday, June 4th, you’ll be able to purchase picture frames in the Mall, upload photos from your hard drive or select from a gallery of default pictures, and then display them in your personal apartments. So if you’ve got photos from your latest game tournament that you want to share, all you have to do is upload them, choose the angle and size options for display, and then invite your friends back to your Home pad for your viewing party. Awesome!

But that’s not all! As usual, we have more exciting content updates coming today, including the highly-anticipated launch of the brand-new Buzz! game space. Get ready to strain your brain and freak your mind with this fast-paced, interactive quiz game. You’ll have to work with your friends and fellow community members to answer the questions lickety-split (hint: some organized sprinting may be necessary). Join the Home Community Management team in the Buzz! Space throughout the day where we’ll be challenging you to a game or three. Be sure to visit the MyBuzz website to discover what it takes to get your own quizzes into the Buzz! game space for future challenges.

When you need a break from thinking, be sure to visit the Mall for some retail therapy. It will be packing brand-new Ghostbusters costumes, designer duds for dandified men and women, and still more Street Fighter IV costumes.

Last but not least…word on the street is that everyone’s favorite ARG, Xi, will be revealing new spaces, ornaments, and mini-games.. Keep on playing, because it’s not over til the last butterfly flutters.

  • Photo sharing is vital step towards social networking side of Home, I am happy. However PAYING for frames? That’s like if Facebook said tomorrow ‘yeah to upload any more photos you gotta pay us’ the hardcores would pay, the rest would vote with their feet.

  • The Photo frames is a good add, but Playstation Home needs video streaming and of course music streaming. that would be a good add especially for gamers like me who invite other gamers in my home space. join my club pple, Gamers and Geeks 24/7.

  • That is a cool feature, but what about items and appliances. I would like to invite my friends over to my personal space but it’s rather boring. You should at least add some arcade machines for our personal use and maybe some T.V.s and jukeboxes to keep us entertained. In the meantime could you at least add a bigger game room or bowling alley, it get realy crowded. Please reply.

  • Also another thing is im tired of having to pay alot just for an ornament or anything else. Can you at least add some things for less than .50 cents or at least free?

  • makers of playstation home, baby jesus told me in my sleep that if you dont come out with homespace tvs by the end of 09, california will break off of america and sink to the bottom of the sea.

  • thanks for the frame they work great don’t listen to these complaners u need money for home to get new content. just hope u when u get the music and video feed in we may get the hall of fame running then..lol

  • You make us wait for nearly a year and then make us pay for it, you do realize sony in a few months ill be able to turn on my xbox 360 and do what you promised long before home was released, aka stream videos, music, and images over their network free of charge with others right. Because it seems like your main competitor is wiping the floor with you right now. I love both consoles but sony your only holding back home and the ps3 at this point, im not paying to post a picture in my house lol, good try.

  • We wanna watch movies off our ps3 on Home!!! Can we like move different? Everybody moves the same and when I run I look like a T-Rex. Can we have a better club also? Like maybe other than Basic…The most important part is the Movies!!! Charge whatever just give it to us soon…Good job so far

  • We want to stream our videos on Home and please dont make it free make it expensive not too expensivie but expensive enough to be a luxury:)

  • I’m not paying for a virtual untouchable object! Here we go with GPT sites again, wasting 5 hours for a $20 network card. Why Sony?
