Additonal Info:
The Home Beta was recently updated to version 0.8.6. The update contained a Media and Events Space that was only available for a limited time.
Though nothing other than several stylish rooms were available to beta testers the day the area was open, we've heard that upon the launch of Home, Sony will use the space to showcase events such as PlayStation Day and host live presentations.
According to Scrawl, a survey coincided with the reveal of the Media and Events Space that inquired about the space's presentation area, media in the gallery, what kind of content you'd want to see to make your next visit more compelling and so on.
It's certainly a sound idea -- Home is the perfect area for community interaction. Perhaps a year from now we'll be reporting on a presentation given within Home. Until that day though, stay tuned to PSU for all things Home.

Yawn. i miss the Home hype
Yawn. i miss the Home hype
how is it pointless? they could hold pretty much e3 in there well just the sony booths heck they may even let you try out the demo's its feasible. its pointless to you right now because nothing is going on. need this sucker to drop asap
Yeah but when there holding events were we want the information coming out of them that second there usefullness will be realized. I actually hoped for something like this inside of home so i couldnt be happier.
@the game then tell us what are you doing how is going and real date release and how in to the beta tester ?????
I don't like being Homeless. I'm living out of my stolen GTA4 car with a bunch of strange looking Japanese cats. The only free handouts I get from Sony nowadays are videos. I've resorted to feeding off of stuff I find out in the woods in Oblivion. If that wasn't bad enough, I played the Haze demo once the other day, wasn't really that impressed, but now I got this Nectar addiction. I was really tripping heavily on that stuff yesterday. I imagined I was walking on platforms and could walk to different levels just by looking at the platforms differently so they matched up and I wouldn't run into obstacles as long as I didn't see them. My life is really a sad state of affairs :(
i'm in the beta also and at the moment theres pretty much nothing to do in home even with the new area, they got to do the open beta so more people are logged in home because every time i'm in home it's almost always empty
Events within home sounds like a good idea, it's actually something I was hoping that would happen. If the idea is implemented soundly enough, it might actually be something worthwhile. Maybe we can go to the theatre and watch press conferences live?
It's empty because people keep waiting for updates and it's taking for ever to get them. Seriously how long has it been since the last update and this one space is the only thing new? WHAT THE FAWK!? Yeah I'm happy to see there's still some development but we're NEVER going to see a public beta at this pace let along a full release, what the heck is going on over there!?
@ bracomadar: I like the homage to all the games. What were the Japanese cats though?
---
At this point, I'm not caring about Home. I'm psyched for it to release, but I try to keep myself from getting hopeful by the news on it.
Hope this doesn't fail.
No wonder playstaion didn't advertise for haze becuase in there eyes they didn't beleive it wuz exceptional.
I live in Canda and I haven't seen one advertisment for playstation in months.
This game is dead to me since the latest delay
Home is again growin interesting in me. I still like the idea and I hope that they will get it ready. Sometimes patient is virtue.
@ The Game: The new areas are pointless now, but they will be bigger soon, when they start using them.
psn id:gingo.... seriously cant wait till this gets opened up to the public hopefully everything is going smoothly and its still on course to come out around october/november
@The Game
Actually, in a survey, this was one thing a lot of people wanted, myself included. I visited the space the other night, and I was impressed with the capabilities of what they'll be able to do with it.
Awww man... E3 in my console! They could show the conference through there too! This sounds like a good idea to me!
wow what could possibly take them so long to make home, i mean daymn
i've gotten to the point where i just don't care about home anymore. Seriously, it comming out in 2010 if it continues like this.
@ InfernoReaper: Thanks, glad you liked it :) The Japanese cat game you were wondering about is called Mainichi Issyo. I downloaded the demo using a Japanese account. It's probably the strangest thing I've ever tried to play. Not really much to do and it's all in Japanese, so you don't really know what it tells you to do, but it's fun to show your freinds and see that WTF look on their faces :)
@zakruz
Ummmm, its not a game. Its designed to be a unique online community area for PS3 owners. However if its still dead to you since the last delay then thats your choice, I will still enjoy it when we do eventually see it.
That would be awesome to have a space where they do events. great idea.
home=gay
Home looks to be a huge innovation in online gaming. Can't wait! (But I guess I have to)
In my opinion, Home isn't going to be a big deal until it has a public betas so we can all have our opinions heard. I also doubt any of us will be in Home, all that much anyways since we'd be gaming all the time, maybe talking for 15min at a time but other than that I wouldn't be in there, even if it was fully release.
@Chrisbosh...I've seen like a commercial for Haze everyday, sometimes on Spike and some other sports channel, forgot the network.
Cant wait for HOME....BDA
@silent_assasin6:
You gotta think about it, this is "supposed" to rival Xbox Live. I'd rather them take there time and make it right than to release utter crap. Knowing some of the mistakes Sony has made, they may just take a while to release this and it's still not going to be up to par. I have all my finger and toes crossed for a sucessful launch.
Sounds exciting but wake me when home is released.
This is cool to bad its taking long.
In other news you guys need to fix this website everytime I come here I get warning messages and threats that my antivirus and spayware software always removes or tells me that there is something here
@ kidkotic2001
give me the BETA version
home...home.......oh! you mean that thing that was supposed to be released a few million years ago! riiiiiight, totally don't care anymore :-|
Due to the delays. Home is in need of some hype and a open beta.
is it true that home subscription will be $70.00 a year?
@cybrdrac who told ou that lie? Was it a 360 fan boy who may be a little jealous?
Oh come on when will it will be available?
