Version 1.55 update promises to deliver a whole new experience with a new start-up interface, a wardrobe and furniture browser update, as well as many enhancements that will result in "improved stability and smoother operation" of the Home client.

Here's what you can expect when PlayStation Home client update version 1.55 goes live later on:

New features:

Start-Up

Improved the layout, design, color scheme and text of the start-up flow.
The start-up flow will now display a variety of information depending on how recently you last visited PlayStation Home.

Wardrobe and Furniture Browser

When you are browsing through a category of items in the wardrobe or furniture browser we now display the name of the object you have highlighted.
There is an option in the Menu Pad under “Options > Settings > Personal > Clothing / Furniture Names” to change this behavior:
- Off: Switches the display of names off.
- Selected: Displays the name of the selected object only (default).
- All: Displays names for all objects.
You can click [L3] to display more information about the highlighted object. This will pop up a menu showing:
- Name.
- Description.
- Image.
- Whether it is a purchase, reward or part of the default inventory.
- Date of acquisition (if relevant).
In addition to the name changes the overall speed of the wardrobe and furniture browser has been significantly increased.

General

Added an option to manually clear the cache of data that Home creates on your HDD. This can sometimes resolve problems that you might be having. You can find it in the Menu Pad under “Options > Settings > Personal > Clear Cache”.

Improvements:

Menu Pad

There is an option to view “Help” from the carousel on the Menu Pad. This is only available to new users.
There is an option to “Redecorate” on the carousel on the Menu Pad. This is only available when you are in your Personal Space or a Clubhouse that you own (i.e. somewhere that you can place furniture).

Loading Screen Tips

Different loading screen tips are now shown depending on how many times you have visited PlayStation Home.

General

Continued work to improve stability.

Aside from the new contents mentioned above, Home users can also look forward for some new games, spaces and items which will be available at launch. The previous update was also jam packed with new features and improvements when it was released last August. Looks like Sony is really going all out to lure back PS3 gamers who have abandoned their Home.
