Tried the Ratchet space. Unfortunately couldn't try the game that's supposed to be good, the tower defence one (game is occupied etc.). Curious what the past/present/future stuff is.
The sheep collecting game is a boring diversion, but at least there's a freebie to be had.
Checked out the pixeljunk space while I was in there - aesthetically very pleasing. Shame there's no freebie, and a boring space otherwise. But it does look nice, and makes me wish Home in general was given an aesthetic overhaul. Especially now with the LOD stuff they're using on avatars. They just look ugly 90% of the time.

Yeah Q games is one of the nicest looking spaces.
And the Home loading into 1.3 thing, the deletion of the Home icon on the XMB and re-downloading worked for me too.
Home overall loads pretty quickly, at least for me. And I like that each space loads separately, which is nice if you have to delete the icon, like right now.

Not everyone. I never had any issues. And there are tons of people on the official forum and here to whom it never happened.
Is it an issue for some? Sure. But dont blow it out of proportion.
That said, here is the thread where the new freebies will be posted.

And there seems to be an error with the Zombie face mask as well as the Zombie shirt for purchase.

took a few pics from the R&C space:
looking out of the window:
shooting/towerdefense minigame area:
pretty crowded :lol
so far I only got this little ship from the sheep finding minigame:
(in case you wonder, I just noticed you can take pictures in furniture mode ^^)
oh and regarding the reflections on furniture etc.:
the reflection is accurate when moving etc. but it is a fake predetermined "image" of each space.
you can see the fireplace (w/o fire
) but not my furniture and the furniture you see in the reflection is actually not in my apartment.
same with glasses, still nice though. There are times Home looks better than some retail games :lol

they explicitly said PAL exclusive and I guess the movie is already out in the USA, so it won't be, sry.
Obviously they could offer similar stuff at a later time, marvel games related etc.

Sadness, I want Wolverine clawsHow do you get/use the camera?
I wanted to take a direct pic of the zombie face textures (glitching?), but now that I think of it, taking photos offscreen is MUCH more convenient:
Also, I've been waiting to play the Ratchet game for like 20 minutes! This isn't cool. At LEAST put us in some kind of queue. I'm not gonna sit here and stare at my screen just for the text to change from gray to white... On that note, can I sit there at the prompt with the grayed-out PLAY button, or do I have to back out and keep re-selecting the game for the Play button to change when a slot frees up?
edit: The game I was in line for was the Groovitron Testing minigame. I didn't even realize you could go through a door at the front of the space, and be taken to the bigger game... I thought Groovitron Testing WAS the space's main game. smh...

Also, REALLY bummed out that Uncharted 2 isn't a supported Home game.

They aren't confident enough in the importance of the platform to ask ND to graciously support it? (same goes for custom soundtracks missing from the musically silent multiplayer in Uncharted 2)

how come my character's appearance keeps changing, i'll put a beard, glasses, and headphones on my character and when i go to a different space it gone, is there a reason why?
Lots of content coming to Home tomorrow (For US at least). Uncharted 2 space with a bunch of games & rewards, Street Fighter 4 space, Tekken 6 space, SF4 costumes, Penthouse apartment, and finally the much needed patch 1.32 which should hopefully fix all the crashing issues on login.

They've been doing significant updates every week now. Kudos for that.

I'm glad I expected something like that at the PS3 PAL launch and went with an Austrian account as my main game account. Though in retrospective, I should have used my UK account as I only use that store for the PAL updates (only PS store which has the full PAL content every time and all the trailers are in English) and never the Austrian store.
btw German Home doesn't exist, it's one PAL Home but you can't enter certain spaces with a german PSN account.
not having an option to visit the other Home regions (besides friends apartments) with the same account/character sucks though (even more so because Home DLC is bound to only one account on the PS3 in contrast to other PSN stuff)

Yep, Home updated today. Can't get past 'initialising'. Morons.
Slackbladder said:
Updated to version what? I think 1.32 comes out tomorrow and fixes the startup issue. Otherwise you can use TTP's solution
Edeuinu said:
There have been instanced games before. Some of the Xi games, and I think Ratchet also is instance. I really hope they implement this for Siren however. I only got to play that game once.
Just found the 1.32 change list
