Playstation Home Goes Live

Playstation Home software is now on the PS3 and you are able to communicate with other Playstation Network users in a virtual world.

PlayStation Home (also marketed and referred to simply as Home) is a community-based service for the PlayStation Network which has been in development since early 2005. Home allows users to create an avatar for their PlayStation 3 console and explore an online world. This avatar gets their own virtual apartment space (called a "HomeSpace"), which can then be adorned with clothes and accessories that users can receive in several different ways.

PlayStation Home features updates that provides bug fixes and expand the social and gameplay aspects of Home. Sony are frequently updating PlayStation Home into a larger world. The beta has received several updates such as giving the users the ability to access their patio, the Menu Pad; and being able to access the Shopping Center. Other features, such as the much speculated monorail transport system; Home Trophies; pets; weather; and seasons have yet to be released. After each update, the user must re-download each area (excluding Personal Spaces).

Version 1.0 of PlayStation Home was released on November 21, 2008. This version was available to beta testers as a 77MB download from the PlayStation Store by redeeming a code sent to the their email. Upon installation, 3077MB of hard disk space is reserved for the application. Additional downloads are needed to access the different environments such as Home Square and the Bowling Alley. Those rooms' download sizes vary from 16-45MB each.

Version 1.03 was the first open beta released and was made available on December 11, 2008. The Home icon automatically appears under the PlayStation Network category on the XMB when players turn on their PS3. The current version of Home is v1.05 and was released on December 22, 2008.
