Hi PLAYSTATION 3 community,
I am so very happy to announce that PlayStation Home has now officially entered into Open Beta. Restart your PLAYSTATION 3, and you will see the PlayStation Home icon under the PlayStation Network column of the XMB. Click on the icon, and you are in.
Getting to this point has required a tremendous amount of participation, input, care, and passion from the thousands of beta testers who helped make PlayStation Home what it is today. So to all of you that have tested, from all of us on the PlayStation Home team here at Sony: “Thank You!”
For those of you that are new to PlayStation Home, be sure to plug in a USB keyboard (or pair your Bluetooth headset) and start meeting your fellow PS3 owners. And remember, even with all the spaces, rewards, items, and activities available today, what you see now is just the beginning. Home will grow, change, and evolve very quickly – and it is all based on your feedback.
This is your community, and we are listening.
they should have added a slapping feature like lbp
xbox dont even try to make big tings like that
I have a problem with my Home beta: I got the beta today (December 11) and it won’t run, in that it will ATTEMPT to sign in, but the server times out. How do I fix it?
Anyone have any Idea when this will be back up?
I hope Home can let all players use their arcade games… not one at a time only because it wastes time, if not they make a lot of arcade machines in there lol
its like that for every body
Well this is a suckerpunch to the gonad.
When the hell is the Home servers supposed to be up and running!?
vf4efan … welcome to the club.. you are not alone!! we’re all experiencing this dude.
so that means no party for tonight
Yep, I was in and now out.
Getting the timing msg as well as others.
Remember, it’s Live, but it’s Beta so we gotta expect some problems on Day 1 with everyone and their mother signing in.
I’m sure Sony is working on the problems and will have it fixed soon enough.
This is my first post and its that i keep getting an error when i log in to home. WOW!!!
I’m IN!!! Seems like I’m not selling my PS3!
*sigh* Sony you need to fix this [DELETED] before you depress the hundreds of thoudands of PS3 owners who want to actually try out the fantastic HOME experience -_-
Home worked fine for the closed beta testers (like me). Since Sony opened it to everyone their servers cannot handle the traffic. Sony was just not prepared for the number of users.
im in to
I gave you three tries Sony.
Three strikes, you’re out.
Screw home and screw Sony.
This is ridiculous.
Ok, so HOME seems to be running flawlessly now. The Uncharted area was cool with the coded doors to get to the rest of the area.
I went to the mall and it was the same. What happened to the Diesel and ligne roeet stores?
The bubble game in central plaza is cool though. Great job, I am looking forward to all of the wonderful things that HOME has to offer in the future.
I hope the HOMEBeta launch hasn’t affected today’s PSN Store update!!! ;.;
ugh i was logging in fine until now, from 6-7 i didnt get any errors
I still can’t log in…
You sure you people can get in?
I cannot log in b/c network error.
Wath means beta?
OK…My PS3 is connected to the internet…I can play games and check out the store (which still hasn’t been updated), I’ve turned my PS3 off and on god knows how many times…I’ve checked the network screen time and time again……And I am not seeing any trace of “home”
Now..I live in Albuquerque New Mexico…which runs on mountain time….has this just not come to me yet or….are they not releasing it just in my time zone?…..Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong here? Or is anyone else having the same problem?
im in!!!!
Can you get two psn users on the same ps3in home at the same time like two psn users login like littlebigplanet
423 HYDRAETERNAL- Stop any downloads you currently have. Update to the newest firmwire, and restart your system (make sure that you are the admin of the ps3 and that you are at least 17 years of age. Then It should work.
“When the hell is the Home servers supposed to be up and running!?”
The servers have been up and running all day. I’ve been in Home since it went live with every single Space packed to its limit with people.
The only thing having trouble are the login servers right now that are getting overwhelmed. Once you are in Home is running flawlessly.
hydrangea
ull find it under network above the ps store
Sony, you have completely lost touch with what made PS1 and PS2 successful.
Stop trying to forcefeed us this irrelevant crap and give us some *games*.
Well i’ve been trying to log in for 3 hours..
The terms and conditions are as far as i have gotten -_-
DAMN IT! Sony whatever u did from 6pm-7pm eastern time worked perfectly for me
NOW it appears. Apparently all I had to do was leave an angry comment…weird.
I finally understand why Sony are in last place.
a lot of people can’t get in it’s because they are WAAAY too many people in there right now even hen me and my friend were in they say it was a little laggy and i had the closed beta there was no lag whatsoever in the closed beta
Actually…I was downloading a movie….it appeared after the movie download stopped. Thanks guys for your help, I was pretty frustrated there for a minute.
Anyone no when they’re supposed to have this problem fixed? guess i’ll just go play fable 2 tell then
@Wuggy
WAH!! WAAAAAAAAH!! WAHWAHWAAAH WAHH WWAAAAHH!
@sony, thank you. it works great even though the servers seem over loaded.
To all those who are saying their PS3 is sold. I just have to say “wow”… So 399.99 was spent on a PS3 so they can play home… Not to play any games or watch Blu-Ray movies… but because home was said to come out today (and just a beta) now they’re going say they’re selling their PS3. This is beta. Stop being so lame…
p.s. home rocks =p
Last place… lol. Is there some sort of race going on I wasn’t informed of?
Wuggy, stop whining, it’s a free app available to the public for the first time. If you didn’t expect it to crash, then you’re a fool.
We were bowling in it last night, and we talked about how itwas a certainty that Home would crash tomorrow.
That’s what happens with new software launches like this, give it a day or two and then try, I’m sure it will be working fine.
Chillax.
playstation home is great! a lot of my frineds that have a ps3 where looking foward to this date!! home its sweet! but for some reason when they got the program downloaded it kept giving us an error!! i realy like home! hope this little problem is solved so we can enjoy the great experience that is playstation home!!

“To all those who are saying their PS3 is sold.”
Uh, they’re just Xbots terrified of Home trolling the various PS3 forums…
No one is selling their PS3.
this is BS i can’t even get on…..it says that the connection with the server got lost or it gives me an error message…this is BS.:(
hope they get this fixed before my florida gators beat oklahoma jan, 8
OMG, where is the PSN Store update? They need to have a set time for the Thursday’s updates. This is rediculous!!!
