Home Coming this year we promise says Sony

Posted by T0SH in PlayStation Home on August 28th, 2008

It has been a LONG wait for Home, it’s been delayed again and again. But the wait is almost over. It “should” be coming sometime in 2008. The expanded private Home beta should be available this week, or at least more info on it. I’m guessing Friday or maybe in today’s PSN update. In fact Asia will be getting some details on the expanded Home beta tomorrow. See here.

I try not to think about Home much anymore to make the wait less painful. But I think for it to be really popular it needs to be continually updated with new info.

Home Producer Van der Meulen told IGN “without hesitation” that there is a “100 percent guarantee” that the oft-delayed Home will be released by “the end of this calendar year.” Not 2009. Not 2010. This year. “He has absolutely no doubt that this will be the case.”

You are ’100 percent’ going Home this year

Welcome to Trevor!

Posted by Blackstaffer in Talk on August 27th, 2008

Hey everyone! Time for a bit of editorializing!

I’d like to announce Trevor has joined our team here at PS3Blog.net. He expressed interest in contributing to this site, and I’ve been enjoying his comments (under a different name, you can ask him what!). To make a short story even shorter, he’s now an author here.

Well, supposedly. I haven’t seen him post an article yet…

So welcome Trev aboard. He’s our second UK-based author!

Metal Gear Online Update

Posted by T0SH in Metal Gear Online, Uncategorized on August 27th, 2008

They changed the following below, it’s all server side so you don’t have to download anything. Nice that they added reward points to something other than survival (which only open from 8 – 11 p.m. Fri – Sun for me). But only 5 points?? Some things in the reward store cost 10,000!

1)Players will gain 5 reward points when they have finished a round in the automatching lobbies “SNAKE:EX”, “LIQUID:EX” and “SOLIDUS:EX”.

*The lobbies “SNAKE:EX”, “LIQUID:EX” and “SOLIDUS:EX” are only available for users who have bought the “MGO GENE EXPANSION”.

2)A new Survival Lobby “MK2″ has been added.

LittleBigCopyrightPlanet

LittleBigPlanet will feature its own “copyright” feature for user-generated items. I think this is a cool feature. Because some items you create will take quite some time I’m sure. This way your own level will be unique to you if you want. You can even create items that are collectible by people who beat your level.

I actually just pre-ordered LittleBigPlanet today, so I’m all set
