| Comrade Tovya said: Which brings me to another question for some of you. For those of you have tested the 'Beta' Home out, did they change the interface of the PSN too? What exactly are the new features of Home? |
I got one of the random invites that they've been sendin out like crazy. So far, no PSN/XMB updates. I didn't expect any, but I still think both need updating. Home does have massive potential, but my issue is that some of the features it has should already be accessible from the XMB. Home doesn't exacly start up very fast. I'm a little worried that we'll have to load it up everytime just to do something that should've already been on the XMB in the first place. It seems that more people are viewing it as a "game" rather than PS3's online service. In a way, it kinda feels that way at the moment - I heard that closed-beta testers have access to the "important" features. What I'm hoping for is something that'll make PS3's online gaming easier and more convenient. From what I saw, not all games support "Game Launching". I really hope that changes in the final release. It can be a really great tool for socializing though that's not looking too well yet - I think it was inevitable that with all the stripped features and content, you'll often end up finding people that are just bored.
