There supposedly a track editor coming and a leaderboard update for America (leaderboards can be seen in-game and not web-only).

Mario had other details. Personally i'm completely drooling over the idea of a track editor!!

From Mario himself right here on GAF and on the Gripshift forum.

Oh ok, If it is a track editor I wonder if it would be possible to play online on Custom Tracks.

I'm a brand-new PS3 owner. Like, a couple of days old. How did you all get into the Home beta? Is it just random invites?

Screw you all. I haven't got any betas and I even got the original HOME email.

GAP invites are random.

I'm trying to flesh out the post a bit more and include Europe stuff and also, I figure Gripshift could use some more attention for an update that will come eventually.

I still remember the days when Go! Puzzle was supposedly a February release. Those were the days.

Bets on what gets delayed again? Resistance Maps? Motorstorm Patch? I think SCEA's rule of thumb is to delay 'em at least 3 times, because that's a charm.

I'm guessing Fall. That's the PS3 release calendar black hole. It's where all release dates go to die.

Why is everyone checking now? I thought this content (and betas) didn't hit til tomorrow?

No HOME or Warhawk betas for me... :(

I was gonna bitch about the lack of being able to download anything new PS1 wise on the PSN US store...but i've decided to just not even bother anymore. Its pretty obvious that sony is not supporting that part of the PSN for the NA audience and is leaving that part to the JP PSN.

I guess i will have to look too the JP store to get PS1 games then.

Also...are we atleast getting another MLB trailer this week?

If you open the pamphlet of games that came with your PS3 (and I bought mine in January), it says LAIR and other various titles are "available now".

That was in January! So I'm guessing they were supposed to be launch titles. :lol

Content is not up except for Home invites and I won't have the whole list until Jim gets the PR tomorrow afternoon. That's the first line in the post. Read the OP, people.

Home invites could also be those who missed checking them last week. Who knows?
If the firmware goes live, it should be happening within the hour.

Bitch here: blog.us.playstation.com Keep the thread clear.

Damn... no Home for me ;[ I didn't even get an email about it.

Anyways. I can't wait to see what else they fixed for this update. Hopefully give us a surprise or two.

Mario, can you post or PM me details for what you have planned for your update

The initial update will be for the US version of GripShift to bring it up to date with the improvements from the Euro version. These include

- loading time optimizations which have resulted in much shorter loads in most circumstances
- ability to change/customize car, select level, change controls, and change music from within a level
- browsable scoreboards including viewing from menus rather than level complete screen, jumping straight to your position, and now with car type and number of resets info per entry displayed
- some changes to online connectivity to make it easier and more obvious how to connect with other people
- various other minor usability improvements and changes

This update will be free. I'm hoping it will be available in the next couple of months.


Further updates being discussed include the addition of voice support, creation of private Race Mode rooms, addition of Bonus Games, Track Editor support and track trading, HOME integration, and other improvements and additional modes. In what order these improvements occur, on what timeframe they drop, and what is and isn't going to be charged for is still being discussed. SOE is very positive about continuing to support the title which we are grateful for.
