WRUP: OMG HOME LOAD TEST edition
by Joystiq Staff 
{ Nov 21st 2008 at 6:00PM }
- Andrew Yoon - Yeah, I'll be on the Home beta, but most of my weekend will still be on Killzone 2. I'll also be trying to get some Trophies in Burnout Paradise -- so please show up in the stadium!
- Jem Alexander - I'm trying to reign in my "one game per console at any given time" rule. So, for this weekend it'll probably be Resistance 2 on PS3, Left 4 Dead on 360 and Professor Layton on DS. Obviously I'll be wandering around Home every now and then wearing my awesome Echochrome suit, too.
- Majed Athab - Just Dead Space and Resistance 2. Sorry, nothing excitingly new to share.
- Alan Tsang - Nothing exciting for me either -- Dead Space, Fable 2 and Rock Band.

I have always been very sceptical about what home offers. Anyway, my Japan account got an invite (my EU and US ones did not), So I downloaded the beta. WOW, after using it for a couple of hours, I can see the potential of what Home is offering, and frankly, now the competiton has shown it's hand, so to speak, it's obvious that the Sony offering has the potential to change the way gamers connect. HOME really is a fantastic achievement, even in it's current form, once the content starts rolling in, it's going to take this gaming generation by storm. It's clear to see that Sony have just nailed this generation in a single hit.

ChocoDK @ Nov 21st 2008 6:07PM
I got an invite from SCEJ (thanks to all those in the other Home news saying they got an invite in their email). So I am downloading it right now and from what I have heard it works on SCEA PSN Accounts so I hope to be on. Finally got a home invite thanks SCEJ! 35% so far.
NukeAssault @ Nov 21st 2008 7:13PM
Ooo, thanks for the heads up. I just checked my mail and got in.
Surfaced @ Nov 21st 2008 7:22PM
Im so confused. I have a Japanese PSN account too, but why are you guys getting in and I'm not? Did you have to do something with that Japanese account?

Brythefry @ Nov 21st 2008 6:15PM
Hahah @ Andrew. Good luck with the stadium trophy.
It turns into a takedown fest at aaabout 5-6 people, and then the 2 others don't have a single clue (or refuse) that they should make their way down to the stadium.
Jeremy @ Nov 21st 2008 6:15PM
Sweet. Just got my email. The problem is I'm facing a double whammy of just having moved (network isn't set up yet) and I'm leaving for Tgiving tomorrow. Will my code still work when I get back in a week?

texasgreazer @ Nov 21st 2008 7:13PM
RE: Karthik

Damn it let me in! It's my Home too! (Sorry couldn't resist). Hope SCEE gets their act together soon. I want to have a good look around. Just hope the GF doesn't catch me in bed with my virtual girl. Might lead to divorce LOL

I just got an email from Playstation Underground and got my Home Beta invite. I guess now I'll delete my Japanese Home and download the SCEA Home. It seems like everybody now is getting in or the odds have really improved. Thanks very much SCEA and SCEJ.
Travis @ Nov 21st 2008 8:01PM
I'm one of the testers :D:D
