Default [PS3Fan]Home 1.0 Released to Beta Testers
Quote:
Finally! After years of waiting, looks like Home is finally to release to the masses. Version 1.00 of the Home client has been released to beta testers. The new Home moves from the "Game" section of the XMB to the more appropriate "PlayStation Network" area.

A slew of changes have hit Home in its 1.00 update. The virtual PSP has disappeared, replaced with an easier-to-use Menu Pad (pictured). Various areas of Home have been renamed. An Online Manual and Tutorial have been added, to make it easier to understand the numerous features of Home. Players will now be able to background download new Home areas -- it was a big hassle having to wait for a few minutes before loading each new area.

One of the big features of 1.00 is the Clubs system. This feature allows players to create clubhouses, where up to 32 players can meet. Although this feature is free to beta testers, it will be a paid service when Home rolls out to the public.

The new 1.00 beta looks like a significant improvement over previous versions of the service. Now, we're going to wait for Sony to officially release the service to the entire PlayStation Network community.

Update: The PlayStation Closed Beta site says clubs will be a for-pay service. "Club is a service that requires regular payment. During Closed Beta test users can enjoy this service free of charge." However, a Sony developer clarifies saying "Clubs do not cost money. There will be premium club houses."

The paid for clubs is really stupid in my opinion. If home ever gets released I'm going to take a good look at what made Sony take this long. I will be overlooking any of the paid for features when taking a look at why it is taking them so long to release it.

On one hand, it's ridiculous that it's taken Sony this long to release it. On the other, hopefully this will ensure that Home is absolutely flawless (which, who knows, maybe it will be).

Should be neat to goof around with but I don't see spending any significant amount of time on it.

haha yeah i forgot about Home for a while.

so clubhouses you must pay for, is it still going to be easy to just join online with mates you see strolling around? or will you have to enter games and chats through the clubhouses, meaning you have to be paying for services?

My guess is "club houses" are for some sort of exlusive content like Qore. Maybe join the Killzone 2 clubhouse and get early access to a demo or something.

Just my speculation. I highly doubt you'll have to pay for any sort of chatting and the like.

Lets hope not seeing as to how they said they would allow use to go into game rooms. I'm very ticked about this paid for premium club house thing. Home is suppose to be something great that is free. Now I'm beginning to think that it will be based around trying to sell me stuff...
