Home Beta gets updated

Posted Jun 27, 2007 at 8:50AM by Karl B. Listed in: PS3 Tags: XMB

It seems the Home Beta has received a pretty sizeable update. According to PlayStation Universe, the update includes a few graphical enhancements, new customization options and new items.

The new Home Beta update also reportedly give player avatars the ability to run around the virtual community after walking for a bit. The Home Cinema has also been beefed up with new trailers including ones from Around the World and the film Reign Over Me. Videos in public spaces also play more smoothly the closer one stands to them.

The biggest addition in the update is the first look at in-game XMB access. PlayStation Universe says that the update now lets those in the Home Beta access their friends list from anywhere inside Home by pressing the Select button at any time.

I can't wait for the HOME Release! It seems exciting! A new world (:

# cant wait — Guest 2007-06-27 03:43

i need to get my hands on that home beta

if i don't bad things will happen...

# uhhh — Guest 2007-06-27 04:12

i like sex...its niice

# . — Mister Common Sense 2007-06-27 05:48

I can't wait until Home is released so I can comment on how a pathetic and overly hyped excuse to charge for PSN it is.

# maybe they cant — Guest 2007-06-27 06:15

this is the second game that has had an update not a firmware that allows xmb in-game but i think this is really just

crap sony to just make a firmware update with the XMB in the ps logo on the controller so it can be accessed from any game any time. none of this fake stuff were every game will need to update

# ... — Guest 2007-06-27 06:34

I wonder what's wrong with you boy. every article that I've read you're there saying stupid stuff. If you don't like it then don't comment on it. How stupid are you anyways?

# Desperate "Sense"? — Guest 2007-06-27 06:52

Common Sense,

With every passing day, you seem to be getting more and more desperate and childlike while offering your negative spin on the PS3.

What's the matter? Worried about your 300/400 dollar investment? In one of your posts, you said you just like to have fun with your posts, but it appears more as if you are really worried about something.

Regards,

MTK

# hey yo... — Guest 2007-06-27 07:11

why u can say that's something is pathetic when isn't even out yet... another thing is that a sociable space is a cool way to meet each other... and u can play games that the x360 sell in live.. the arcades, like pool etc... anyway... said more better argues and not that... I hope u don't become like xman...

# ... — Guest 2007-06-27 07:33

PSN is free...unlike XBL.

" I can't wait until Home is released so I can comment on how a pathetic and overly hyped excuse to charge for PSN it is."

Even though it may not be true and you may be lying? :)

# I don't get it — MyDixieNormous 2007-06-27 08:34

How did all this fanboy stuff start? It's so pathetic, it's not ven funny. "I can't wait to see your system fail HAHAHA" People need to grow up, and be glad people even make sytems for your sorry arses. Enjoy playing them, and stop crying about who is better. OK? good

Back to the original topic!

I'm glad to see that they are making an effort to add XMB in game. Hopefully one day, they'll make an update that lets you use it in anything.

# Yup and its free and I would rather go on that then — Guest 2007-06-27 10:45

Pay 50 bucks a year for a cheesy ass service that you cannot use because a month later the system is in repair! PS3 is the bessssst. I want Home so bad

# we got to defend are self — Guest 2007-06-27 11:35

hahaha you need to grow up. after all this is good news for them and someone like you can ruin the good moment. xman is gay he always ruin good news so next time when you talk about fanboys. back it up a little, because it sounds like your a 360 fanboy xman. oh did i bust a nerve.

the update sound good and i hope their're more improvements own home. home is the next best thing in the real next generation of gaming.

# WAKE THE FK UP — Guest 2007-06-27 11:53

WAKE THE FK UP PS3 USERS! READ AROUND, PSN ISN'T GOING TO BE FREE FOREVER SO ENJOY SAYING IT'S FREE WHILE YOU CAN.

ONCE IT'S USER DATABASE REACHES A HIGH POINT, BAM CASH MONEY FLOW FOR PSN, XBOX LIVE IS *****TY, PSN IS *****TY, DONT SEE WHAT YOU ALL ARE BRAGGING ABOUT.

I GET 10X BETTER OF ALL THAT ***** WITH MY PC.

CONSOLES ARE GAY, PC > CONSOLE

EVERY POSTER AFTER ME IS A GAY FANBOY THAT WANTS BUTTSECKS!

# I'M DISOWNING YOU! — Guest 2007-06-27 12:14

I LOVES THE BUTTSECK. YOU'RE NOT MY SON ANYMORE! NO MORE BUTTSECK FOR YOU!

# What A — CHUCKINGROCKSATSPACESHIPS 2007-06-27 13:07

Retard

# Haaa — Guest 2007-06-27 14:17

I already went on Home n its crazy. especially with this update

# its possible — Guest 2007-06-27 14:19

+ its said to come out with update 2.00... so just wait, it'll b there soon.

# actually — Guest 2007-06-27 14:23

I dont think its in game XMB... it just allows you to send messages. QJ said its a step closer to in game XMB n thats ture. 2.00 should have it for all games, So w8 till then.

# i enjoy stupidity — Guest 2007-06-27 14:45

hey wake the fk up xbox live cost $50 per year, that's a real rip off. home sound cool.

# Home! Get a Life instead — Guest 2007-06-27 15:52

Get a grip people

# firmware — Guest 2007-06-27 16:47

You can no longer play the Home beta on FW1.50. That sux

# xckd your ignorant — Guest 2007-06-28 03:34

you just blindly hate the 360 because you probably bought the ps3 just to play games then realized it doesnt have many yet and now your pissed that everyone one with a 360 gets to go out and play a wide variety of good games. btw the ps3 is good but has no good games out yet

# to mr common sense — Guest 2007-06-28 03:36

yea i doubt its pathetic you, but its possible

# wait — Guest 2007-06-28 03:38

wiat wait waiting.... sick of WAITING!

# you know i'm right — Guest 2007-06-28 03:47

360 would bebetter if it were free. It may have better games right now, but you gotta pay to enjoy them. Wii,... well it has zelda at least. Ps3 is good right now. with it's lack of a good library it is easy for most of you morons to not know what your talking about. when you read the post you don't understand the big words. Ps3 will move into it's place at the top once more of its gemss are released. Until then, ITS THE CHEAPEST BLU-RAY PLAYER ON THE MARKET YOU TARDS. so enjoy you extra 100 dollar piece of failing crap thee you payed for(HD-DVD) and sorry you blew all your money on a ticking time bomb. Even still I own all three systems but I don't waste my money on live yet. I fix psp that i get parts from for free and trade them in for live cards. ownage!!!

# i can tell... — Guest 2007-06-28 03:48

i can tell you enjoy stupidity because you defend the cheapest ass online, though xblive does cost money, its worth it to have a universal friends list and manage it and all messages and chats within a game and 50$ a year is only 4$ a month and if your going to wine about thati wonder how u liked paying for the 600$ ps3

# Mister Common Sense — Guest 2007-06-28 03:57

look if u dnt like the ps3 then ***** off back 2 ur *****ty 360 forum ***** and yes the 360 is ***** bcoz i traded it in 4 my ps3 so dropped now just shut the ***** up retard

# lol — Guest 2007-06-28 04:00

i take it u like borat lol

# ... — Guest 2007-06-28 04:02

i no it has become just a little out of hand and i am getting annoyed with this "mister common sense" retard who needs 2 grow up and get a job

# when — Guest 2007-06-28 04:20

when will it come out!!!!!

# Nope — Guest 2007-06-28 04:31

Ps3 has games now. The biggest games I see on da 360 is Rainbow Six Vegas and Gears of War. Now PS3 has Rainbow Six Vegas (A better version) and Resistance... which im sure da new maps are coming today.

# Well.. — Guest 2007-06-28 04:43

By the looks of it were getting all of that for free... The only thing we cant do is in game XMB, and thats coming soon.

360+$400

HD-DVD+$200

innercooler (for over heating)

Online cost

And battery changes

The PS3 has all of this built in plus free online, rechargeable controller, and it never overheats.

I feel pretty good with my $600 system since it has a web brower and things like Home. And the good games that are coming, hey and even the ones that are here like Rainbow Six Vegas and Warhawk n Resistance.

Thats just to show how the PS3 is a whole system... Not just pieces of one.

# i know all — Guest 2007-06-28 04:45

home beats xbox live and 360 sux ass. i got a playstation 3 and im a retard. im sorry that i don't know it all and im a dumass for saying that the ps3 is a ticking time bomb.

# What's nice is — Guest 2007-06-28 07:46

Is that my console won't burn up while running Home for more than an hour.

Troll some more sir...it's all you know.

# PS3 Home Rocks! — Guest 2007-07-26 10:56

I had a 360 which overheated 3 times and they still got it wrong in repairs. All I can say is I am wrapped in my PS3 and GT HD cant wait for SOCOM 4, and GT 5 which will rock even more. And Home well it seems to have unlimited potential. I can't wait can we get it early tho. I hate waiting. GIMME GIMME....
