If it makes you feel any better, I didn't get one either.

Any way to disable sound? Other people's voice and the text chat to be displayed?
I was cheching Home with my 9 years old daughter and was ready to disconnect any time...

Apparently you have to be a certain age to get on home. My girlfriend who is a month shy of 21 tried to logon but was told that she was too young.

Odd. The beta listed 18 as an age requirement.

how are you guys getting invites to home? Is there someplace to sign up to get the invites?

That is odd. Maybe I can figure out what's going on when I take a break from work and surprise her for when she gets back home.

"Surprise! Now you get to run around and have 1000 guys try to do the running man all up on you. Wheeeee!"

I got it for being a member of the Playstation Underground, which if you haven't signed up for, you definitely should.

What is also weird is that invite came from Sony Europe and not Sony US.

I think I saw some options come up if press Select. Can't remember. I had a few things coming up that I wasn't sure how they came up, and how to turn them off.

Definitely a sausage fest going on in there.

Actually, the Playstation Underground is going away, I think next week. Sony is going to make your PSN login universal to everything, including the Playstation forums.

I know 2 of the ways people were getting into Home were being annual Qore subscribers and downloading the Home theme for your PS3. I think the rest of the invites were just random.

Just found out the beta is for master accounts only. No sub-accounts.

after trying it, it does have potential, visuals are pretty decent. outfitting your apartment could be fun its nice to be able to put stuff anywhere and not have to place it in grids.

I was thinking it was going to be like a virtural world like second life where you can walk to places etc. But its select mall, theater etc. not alot to do right now, its kind of neat that if people are playing pool you gotta wait, and you can watch people play the stuff, but it does get old having to wait for an open arcade cabnet, pool table etc.

Controls feel very very sluggish, and the it sucks you cant look around easily.
in the theater all i seen was a trailer for Socom playing over and over. Its neat seeing tons of people sitting in theater like in real life, and grabing a seat etc.

Not man clothes to pick from either, everyone looks the same, stores are empty, not much to decorate your home. Pool wasnt that good, controls are very good.

it did get boring quite fast though

Anyone find the exclusive Watchman trailer Joystiq posted today? Is that for UK Home users only?

As did I. Grrrr. Hopefully it'll open up soon.

I got a Home invitation, but I missed the "celebration." What was that like?

Didn't see anything that particularly indicated a celebration during that time frame.

Well, maybe they just wanted as many people to get on then as possible to test the server load or something.

Just read that if you have a Meijer near you, in their local ad is a coupon for 20% off PSN cards (as well as XBL cards) for Tuesday Nov 25th only.

It's in coupon form. That might limit it to one card purchase, but maybe not -- probably a YMMV kind of deal.

Picking a couple up tomorrow. Use one for new RB2 music and SSFII HD Remix this week

Interesting. Thanks.
They usually have their ads laying all over the place so it shouldn't be a problem.

You can print the coupon online too.

I took this from the Meijer.com website

Those VR communities kind of creep me out, but I guess I'm in teh minority.

I messed around there awhile today. All the people standing around dancing are plain creepy. Also the fact that every female avatar is surrounded by guys. Don't they know those female avatars are probably dudes as well?

Bowling and pool are flat out terrible. However, I'm starting to really enjoy the arcade machines. Ice Breaker is my favorite (breakout clone with a penguin theme) and I unlocked the Ice Breaker shirt and ski cap by playing it.

Hopefully they update the video content and add something to the mall. It is still empty of items. Also, the theater still only has the Socom Doc so that Watchman trailer must have been a UK Home feature only.

Has anyone else heard of this problem? My PS3 just shut itself off while I was watching Wall-E on it, then did it again a couple minutes later. Then after that I wasn't able to load the XMB, and now when I power it on it just stays on for about 10 seconds then just shuts off again. Does any one have ideas on what could be causing this?
