home beta

as most of you now i like to show off .
and to days show off is im on the home beta and was wondering if any of you are

Nice one Phil. They won't let me on. I am too scary.

So, a regular update on what it's like then please.

Cheers

Tim

first things fist i don't like the facet that i got to download every place i go why cant it be all in the first download

Hey phil, that's great news.

You know, you could show off more effectively by telling the rest of us a bit about it. :-) Within the bounds of any NDA you had to agree to of course. Don't want you getting kicked off.

Interesting stuff we could learn from you would involve the flexibility of the character creation system, the speed of streaming for music/video into your apartment, the speed of moving between spaces, how quickly you can launch into games, etc.

If there's anything you don't feel comfortable posting here then drop Tim a quick note at tim@spong.com. That goes for anybody else out there on any beta tests of course.

i will begetting back on all of this but in the process of downloading the market place but
so far as it gose making your avatar is easy and very strait fowerd fist make male of female
then skin/body shape
so on and so on the only thing that cofussed me whas the fact that after i finished and saved there was no exit button i had to press start and exit that way with no info about doing it my apprtment is still emty as i have not been able to get to marketplace yet
video streaming from theater is fast thay have got motostorm persific playing at the min and the quity was amazing your psp has loads of stuff and you can do many things whith it from going to you space to ringing you a mate ( have not used this yet and will get back to you all on this when i have used it

Oh, great thanks for that. More email that gets in the way of my drinking and insulting Mark time. Brilliant. I'll have to do some work.

Where's Me Time, eh?

Tim

PS: cheers Phil and anybody else with leads - send them to my address.

Anything new to report Phil?

Cheers

Tim

ok as iv have been playing around for about a day now some thing that have croped up
fist things fist loading a game from home is diffrent and it works e.g you have to make game by pulling out your virtual psp and going to game launcning and crate game in there you have a list of all the games on hard drive plus what evers in disc drive (so iv gone to warhawk)
it then gives you main menu in wich it gives options about how many people you want to play with private slots so on and so an .
after you have set up it all you create it and you get a icon that comes over you head .
if you whant to wait for players you can go and find them or if you want to launch game stait away bring out you virtual psp agen and go to launch game which then brings a 3 secon count down to starting it .
ending a game brings you back to home

it is the next test night tonight so i will be posting new after 8pm there has been problems with freezing wich thay are trying to sort out wich is a bit of a pain as this means i got to delete all of home and start over
( Dear PlayStation®Home Tester

We'd like to invite you to another test night on tonight from 7-8pm UK time and we hope you can find the time to help us again.


This test event is specifically aimed at tracking down the problem that caused some PS3 systems to freeze, something highlighted in last weeks event. The Home development team will be present to capture specific information about this.


To recreate last weeks conditions as closely as possible we would like you to delete PlayStation Home and its Saved Data before entering the test night. Please do not delete it in advance, we need you to be downloading Home, the spaces, clothing and furniture again as much as possible during the event. We apologise for asking you to delete your Saved Data again, we know you like to take pride in your Avatars and Apartments and we would not ask you to do this unless we really needed you to.


To delete Home simply highlight it and press [TRIANGLE] and select Delete.
To delete the saved data go to the Saved Data Utility and Select your Home save file and again press [TRIANGLE] and select Delete.


To download Home go to the PLAYSTATION®Store and then into [View Downloads] where you will be able to select the beta download again. Do not try to use the Promotional Code again, it only works once, the Store will remember your entitlement to download the Beta.)

Great - thanks for this Phil. What's the score on you printing all this and not getting kicked off Home? There's a darned feature in here!

Cheers

Tim

So anyhow, how did you get onto the beta, Phil?

i have a mate that is working in the home team

What news today Phil?
