Yeah, I'm starting to wonder about what regulations they have for background music. :lol
Poker is nice, I like the monitor that smoothly pops up when you view someone's game.

Also got myself the free Star Trek costumes. No Xi update when I checked thirty minutes ago.

So these should be available in NA later today?

No footsteps. The EA space was really unsettling in how quiet it is. No ambiance music, no ambiance voices, just an electrical hum. I guess it gets noiser when the vids are playing but jeez put up some background noise!

Lack of ambient sound in Home spaces is really stupid.

If they don't stream the E3 conference from Home I am going to be very mad :( I want to throw popcorn at the screen, and bug my fellow Gaffer's.

I still can't get Xi to work in my Playstation Home.

Every time I try to do the website thing with my PS3 browser (ony in Xi mind you), it tells me I have too many websites open and I must close one. EVERY TIME, even though I don't have any open. I've looked online how to solve this but I can't figure it out.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. I even went online and got all the answers to the riddles, but I think you have to do it through the PS3 browser in Playstation home or it won't let you put them in.

I want to do this game though. It sounds intriguing.

Hey Guys,



The next thing you will see in the EA SPORTS Complex is a fix for the racing game which will make join the game a whole lot easier.



In a few weeks there will be an update which adds a few more features to Poker:



Poker

- Leader Boards

The two screens attached to the roof support pillars in the space will now have leaderboard information for daily winners, and season leaders

- Ranking

The top 100 players for the season and for the day will be ranked and you can see if you have a ranking by looking at the bottom of the leader board

- Rewards

The EA SPORTS Texas Hold'em Poker Bracelets will now be awarded to players who win on the Red Table, and there will be a new T-shirt reward

for winning on the Green tables

- Red Tournament Table

The middle table will now become the Red Tournament table

You will need to have a positive bankroll to play on this table which means having at least 1000 points in your bankroll

- Point Rewards for Winning

On the tables your rewards will vary based on the number of players and how you finish

Green payouts for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd

Red tables pays out more than Green

- Improved camera system

You now have 4 different views of the table you play on - standard, over head, table top view 1, table top view 2

You can look at the leaderboard to see how many point the daily and season winners have posted

Watch 1 of 3 video screens

View the Scoreboard slide show

Check the Ticker for updated event information

- Table placement

By moving the location of the tables we will be able to reduce the cross chatter between tables that occurs while texting

This change should also eliminate the annoying "video screen in my ear effect" that occurs on certain seats

- Music

We have added a music track to the Poker game to make things a little more interesting

Volume control will also be added so you can toggle between 3 volume levels or turn it off completely (R2)

There is a machinima creation space coming this month. You have a stage set and can control lighting, green screen and the camera. There are small videos of it in between the Angels and Demons footage in the theatre.

Why hasn't Sony added an option you can tick that tells Home to download the new spaces automatically instead of the user having to download when they try and visit it.

Yeah. But they should have some king of big ass notification thing popping up when something new is added. Like: "a new area has been added. Do you wan to visit it?" Yes -> Wold map appears with new areas blinking.

I for one didn't realize the Redbull area was up until I read it here. And I've seen quite a few Home visitors asking around about how to access it?

:lol I have been going to the doors in central plaza with the escalators behind them expecting them to be open or something to go to the game spaces.

They've always been locked so I just log out, thinking nothing new is happening and Home is shit!!

Is it just me or is the poker code in the EA Sports Complex really elementary?

When it came down to me and another guy playing, it seems I saw the same hands/communities re-appearing every now and then. This is through 1.5 hours of play.

Well I thought the idea for Home was good, but it wasnt until my best friend sold his 360 and bought a Playstation that I appreciated it. We were hanging out, messing around, talking to people then he beat me in chess. The Xi ARG is awesome too, but im late to the party and missed alot of it so im a little out of the loop. If they could just make it load faster..!

If you solved the puzzles, just put the code in the Holopad. The Xi browser is just the regular PS3 browser, it doesn't matter if you use it inside Home or not.
I get the same error sometimes, but only on the Jess website I think.

I don't even use the PS3 browser at all. I use my Mac. :p

Besides, the "electric circuit" puzzle was awesome. Kinda like Sudoku. The other one with the light bulbs was too easy even for my 5 yrs old kid.

You can phone a friend and have that call anywhere in Home no matter what anyone is doing/where they are. In a personal space or club house it becomes a mass chat with voice proximity.

I didn't even watch the instructional video yet, but I'm assuming it wasn't supposed to be released this early. :lol

I hope it has a youtube plugin...even if it doesn't, this is still pretty massive for Home.

I hope you don't have to buy that.

Since it's going to be in the ESTATES store in the HOME Mall and all... It does look cool though.

As for the Star Trek stuff, I haven't seen it in the NA store.

THIS is the best fucking movie maker ever made. SONY is the best gaming company in the history by letting the devs put stuff like this in their portfolio. I really believe we will see whole short films. series and what not over there and of course some people will be very creative to make a porn. The very first home porn :D

Now people should know what is Home good for. Damn what else will they come up with. Home is going to be HHHUUGGGEEEE.

Who is Veilcorp?

Xi, the ARG based in PlayStation Home, has taken a sinister turn with the emergence of an unknown organisation called Veilcorp.


Veilcorp claims that ‘Xi’ – whatever it is – belongs to them, and anyone hunting for it is in violation of Veilcorp’s rights.

What’s more, they’re recruiting. Anyone in the US is invited to apply for an interview through the Veilcorp website. Are they for real? In this story, it’s hard to tell…

Ugh I just get home from Uni and come to find out when I try to launch home it doesnt work, like at all. I try to open it and all it does is freeze the entire PS3. I cant delete it to redownload and after trying last night and turning on my ps3 this morning a "Corrupted Data" Icon is right below the home icon. Any advice?

The StageSet seems like a cool idea but it's going to be microtransaction heaven, me thinks (perhaps more than Home itself).

The "Motivation" video on the site has fine print when the Tortoise appears that reads "Tortoise footage sold seperately".
lol

The stage set could be really interesting, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict about 500 Chun-li vs. Giant Tortise videos.
