they dont stream na... it says 'downloading video' on the video screen and after it gets downloaded, it keeps repeating.

 

no you have to download it for the first time only.. after the download it should stream normally whenever you enter that area..

Home will only be down for a brief two-hour window tonight, from 2am - 4am Pacific (5am - 7am Eastern). Once it's back online we will be running version 1.03 and all those with the current version will be offered a patch. The patch simply supports the server changes being made to support Open Beta.

doesn't that mean it should be up by now ??

 

EDIT: just checked.... patch 1.03 is available now. 13mb

PlayStation Home opens its doors

- BBC Technology

 

Sony's long awaited next-gen social networking site for PlayStation users goes into open beta today.

 

PlayStation Home will let gamers create their own avatar -a virtual representation of themselves - and then interact with other users in a 3D environment.

 

Players can chat to other users, invite them into their own "home", and will soon be able to stream music and video.

 

PS Home will be available free to all registered PlayStation Network users.

 

But will PlayStation Home be enough to sway potential customers Sony's way?

 

Speaking to the BBC, Alex Pell - the assistant editor of The Sunday Time's gadget section, In Gear, said he was sceptical.

 

"PlayStation Home is great for existing users. It might not have the complexity or depth of Second Life, but it can be played on a console, rather than a computer."

 

"As you have an avatar, this means it's much more than just a flashy chat room, and as a medium, it's a great way of getting more out of the games you already own," he said.

 

"But ultimately what really matters is the price of the console and the availability of good exclusive games. You can get an Xbox 360, with four games and two controllers for £130. The best deal I managed to find was a PS3 with three good games for £270"

 

"Sony needs to find new customers and while Home is great for existing PS3 users, will people rush out and buy such a pricy console on the back of PS Home availability? I don't think so."

Testing complete and a couple of technical problems have been found. We need to iron these issues out first and I'm waiting to hear how long that might take (I'm not qualified to even guess, its very technical). Apologies, I know you all want to get in but we must get these things right. And please remember, this is a beta and today is our first step into the Open Beta environment and what we're doing today is part of the beta process itself.

 

sony did it again :bash:

hey guys im facing the same problem. i haven't been able to use home at all after downloading the patch.

it just says 'initialising' and nothing happens. or sometimes it says 'The connection to the server is lost' and some error code is shown.

It's really infuriating bcoz i was very excited abt the open beta.......... and its new features...........

btw does any body have any idea as to wen this problem will be solved?????????

show ur anger in the playstaionHOME forums. there're plenty of ppl there... it'll be fun :)

lmao yeah man there's a riot going on over there

 

Just to let everyone know, though I've mentioned it in a few threads already (and no, guys, I'm not just responding to Voozi :smileywink:), WE ARE WORKING ON GETTING HOME UP! With any major release, there are lots of unforeseen technical issues that can occur. Access to Home is now working in the office, once we're sure everything is working as it should, it should be released to the public. No, I can't give you times. I have no other info than what I just posted.

 

 

 

Thanks for your patience.
