Hi PLAYSTATION 3 community,
I am so very happy to announce that PlayStation Home has now officially entered into Open Beta. Restart your PLAYSTATION 3, and you will see the PlayStation Home icon under the PlayStation Network column of the XMB. Click on the icon, and you are in.
Getting to this point has required a tremendous amount of participation, input, care, and passion from the thousands of beta testers who helped make PlayStation Home what it is today. So to all of you that have tested, from all of us on the PlayStation Home team here at Sony: “Thank You!”
For those of you that are new to PlayStation Home, be sure to plug in a USB keyboard (or pair your Bluetooth headset) and start meeting your fellow PS3 owners. And remember, even with all the spaces, rewards, items, and activities available today, what you see now is just the beginning. Home will grow, change, and evolve very quickly – and it is all based on your feedback.
This is your community, and we are listening.

I’m pretty sure there’s no client update when they add spaces to the world map. I think it loads the spaces list automagically when you go to it, so it’s up to date all the time. I don’t think a client update is necessary since the download for the new space is as large as it is.
thanks for the FAILED LAUNCH SONY!!! REAL AWESOME!!! I LOVE C-931 NETWORK ERRORS! This HOME thing works great as an ERROR CODE generator! SOMETHING I ALWAYS WANTED FOR MY PS3! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! Failures.
Ps – I WAS a PS3 fanboy… THIS is the LAST STRAW. If Im not HOME in the next hour Im selling my PS3 and buying an X-BOX! This is ridiculous!
Pss – I would never get rid of my PS3 but seriously, I will go buy a 360 and pour my funds into a system that does what its supposed to without 3 years of waiting for error codes!
NETWORK ERROR! HOME CRASHED!
Network error, wtf.
Poor liddle Xbots they are going nuts creating accounts in every PS3 forum on the Net trying to pretend to be PS3 owners.
What a bunch of pathetic losers.
Go back to playing with your retarded Nintendo Mii ripoff Xbots.
cant get passed the initializing part…just says it timed out :(
I was so pumped for this too!
WE WAITED A 2 YEARS FOR THIS?
Why can’t I access Home is there something wrong with the servers?
me too
Someone let me know when this thing actually works!!!
What’s the word on the PSN Store update?
Okay, I have home downloaded but when I start it up when it gets to the screen saying Warning! This games accesses the HDD blah blah blah it freezes. pressing X on the controller does nothing. I can hit the PS button and quit Home but if I start it back up it sticks at the same place. Anyone else have this problem???
Help I can’t log in… Getting this message
/HUBPS3_SVML/unity/start.jsp
PLEASE HELP!
I was a closed beta tester and now it doesn’t work…
Anybody else get this?
=[
yeah seriously. If they’re gonna make an offical day for it, y wouldnt they make sure it works first?
C-991, C-931, C-988 and now Read errors … i’ll try again tomorrow :(
calm down everyone, i got the c whatever error and i exited home, turned off my ps3, counted to 10 while saying goosefraba…turned it on, loaded home and it took me to the plaza. it appears that everything is working but apartments so thats why you see that error.
this looks like its gonna get ugly im off to watch some blu-rays
we’re still gettin some ps store stuff cuz insomniac is gonna bring out some free resistance content
i got to try it for like 10 minutes
ah, it’s the LBP syndrome all over again…
beta works fine, Sony blatently underestermates the
server load, it all fails.
well done SonY, i’ve just deleted my 1.03 update.
LIVE ? You mean it’s already down after 10 minutes only. Crashes, error codes..etc Good job sony, after 12 hour maintenance!
zirjacks – make sure ur controller is assigned to controller 1
Jack, you forgot to mention the fact that a lot (a very very much lot) of people are having network problems. Both in US and EU. The forums are flooded with people seeking advice after getting a number of various network errors.
I know it is to be expected but it would be nice to just mention it. Otherwise it sounds like it’s up and running smoothly. It’s not. Yet.
Congrats, though! Soon it will probably work for the most of us.
@ 113
they can always test sofware and make sure it works that has nothing to do with anticipating the traffic which is whats wrong
the software works fine
i tried 2 log in and it wouldnt let me sign in i had the closed beta but my friend said that the same thing happened 2 him just wonderin wats up w that
home is crashing..
here comes the good old 5000 comment posts about a beta not working
im out
I getting an error about there java server page timing out.
request timed out
/HUBPS3_SVML/unity/start.jsp
I gotten this error once
started agin and seting up now
Wow, I didn’t think of that! It works now!! Thanks mooogoblue4!!!!
Lol my friend and I were joking about Home having technical problems today and it came true. Oh well, I expected this from Sony. 2+ years of development and still filled with bugs and glitches. The beta worked fine until the open beta patch was released. It seems like it was purposely put in to make us wait longer. Good strategy.
What’s up with the network error problem? I can’t logon!!!!!! WTF
A new one! on sigining in
Session has timed out or does not exist
: -603
WOOOOOO! hope i dont get the error
yay! now, watch all those xbox lovers come back to playstation like they never abandoned ship.
I keep getting connection error. Either there are too many people trying to log in or sony screwed up again….
Yea ummmmmm YOU CANT THROW A PARTY IF NO1 CAN GET ON EITHER!!!! Is it gunna be like a dev team only party celebrating a FAILED launch?!?!?!?! And the LEAST you people could do is RESPOND to all these posts. 1 RESPONSE… thats all it takes, “servers are down, we’re working on them” would save alot of time and trouble but obviously you dont care about ur fanbase right now!
Ps – how do I change my p/w for this blog?
i’m getting
Network Error
The connection to the server was lost
Z(7, -2)
I want to donate music to be played for all the PS lovers and people of Home, who do I talk to??
Way to crash it when everyone on the East Coast is coming home from work Sony.
Who’s the brillant engineer behind this one?
One of the roughest release of 2008! Incredible, simply incredble!
Congrats!!!!!!
I’m in the Beta and have really enjoyed it.
Best of luck with HOME.
Getting a different error now:
Response parse error
sony a heads up would be much appriciated right now
im going to play my xbox tht doesnt fail on new products JK JK sony people i dont own an xbox to dont attack me
Can you guys please update the PSN Store. I know that works without any errors. I’d like to buy Lumines Supernova.
The monthly fee for the club is an EPIC FAIL. Im ok with microtransactions, but monthly fees are the wrong way.
Error Error Error. I say just scrap the whole thing again and wait another year!
Store update?
The only thing that works well in Home is quitting the application…
I was on home for 1.5 hrs. No problems, no errors. Loaded all locations fine. Played arcade games, pool, and bowling. Wonderful.
any1 for some rock band 2?
It’s loaded up in Home right now. Every time I would jump from one room to another was at max. I was in the beta and jumping off for those that haven’t got to try it out. :)
Great job Sony! I was in Home for awhile and the new plaza is awesome! I can’t log on now though, I keep getting a request timed out error, but I figure that’s just from the servers going from 200,000 or so people to over a million now and getting overloaded. I’ll try again later!
