I got one, people, if you want a better chance of getting into betas and such, BE active on your ps3, and enter official contests, also, I got a special survey from sony, and i bet finishing it helped a lot.

do that stuff and you have a better chance of getting into betas. oh and buy Qore, sony loves Qore buyers.

Yeah I think most of my stuff has come from being a member of Playstation Underground. I also usually get codes for both my NA account and Japanese account so I have a better chance of being chosen for betas.2008-11-22 04:25:00

Yup, I've got it. Too bad the apartment furniture selection is so limited in the beta, but I still love the way you can customize it. I stacked all the couches in the corner at one point.2008-11-22 05:58:00

Oh, there's a whole mall chock full of virtual content, such as new homes, clothing, and furniture. However, they are disabled for the beta, so I'm unsure if you buy them with real money or if you can make money in the game.

Such a big problem for me though
I can only use my PS3 every other weekend. Though in summer/easter/christmas i use it tons. And i can't get qore (though i wouldn't anyway cause im limited in my money) cause i'm in UK.
Aaaargh. Rubbish.

Miffy! It's just a ps3 online chatroom where you can custimize stuff! You'll use it at most every other week! Don't get excited about it or want it bad because then you'll get disappointed. I had to learn the hard way!

Well, there's really not much else there is to know about Home aside from what's been mentioned, but I'll be happy to answer questions if you guys have any.

Is the trophy room up?

I read that you get some prizes from getting high scores at arcade games... Is this true, and if so, what are these prizes- do they include the games so you can add them to your pad?

Speaking of which, what are the methods you can use to get more furniture? I hope eventually trophies can be used as currency... Here's my idea for it from another forum I go on...

Basically, this is my idea for how a trophy points system should work for Playstation Home.

Essentially, let's say a Bronze trophy is 1 point, a silver trophy is 3, a gold is 5, and a platinum 10. Maybe different amounts, but still.

Anyway, in Playstation Home, the trophies would automatically be converted to points. So if you have 16 bronze, 2 silver and one gold, that's 27 points right there.

Then say a desk is 20 points. Then, you cash in those points to have 7 points left.

You would still have your trophies though- they would continue to show on your gamercard, but you can't reuse them- their points are already gone.

... Yep. Anyway, is trophy room up, and how do you get more furniture?

Yep.

Yep as well.

Nope, not yet.


How wide is the variety of clothing on it?
In the beta, very limited, but I assume there will be tons at some point. They have a store in the mall dedicated to clothing, so you'll be able to pick from a lot of options.


Anyway, is trophy room up, and how do you get more furniture?
I didn't see a trophy room, no. And you can buy furniture or pick from the furniture you already have. You don't have to buy per piece, either. Once you buy say, a lamp, you can place as many of those lamps in your apartment as you'd like.

Although there's not much to do yet. Has anyone unlocked anything beside from the arcade game's clothing?

I got a key. But honestly, Playstation Home looks ***. ITs even worst then a MMORPG. It tryes to give you an illusion of a life and a community. I think they promote Home like if its something super great but I think its pretty bad. Exept the fact that its a good way for Sony to show some advertize of there product.

Anyone who wants a key, I'm gonna trade it for a Nariko code.

One thing though- is that the only server?

I kinda find it hard to believe that everyone who is in the beta can fit in those small areas- and that I haven't run into anyone except those who've invited me or I teleported myself to- but yeah, when the real thing is out, I find it hard to believe they can all fit in there nicely...

Definitally.

Notice how you have to go through a selection thing to get to the 5 we have so far- you select PS Home Main, then select from those five.

Obviously, that thing will have different companies or so areas- like, you know how Sony said companies will make their own spaces? When you go to the world map, you'll have more then Sony's deck to choose from... more decks... see what I'm saying?

Everytime you enter a new area the server randomizes the online users to avoid over-crowding. In other words, you will never see a fraction of the total number of HOME users within any given area. I have not discovered a party system but theyb really need to put it in there. Everytime I entered a new area I had to keep re-inviting my friend becuase he kept getting put in another "group".

Ah, makes sense. Would explain why I don't go to same place as the friend when we leave one of our apartments...

In another note, what do you think will be in the LBP Home space? I hope there's an arcade tgame there in the vein of echiochrome (a simpleified version of LBP), from which you can win a Sackboy costume and maybe some furniture! But what kinds...

And also, is it possible for someone who got it from someone else to gameshare it himself? I guess not, but just checking...
