Hi guys, welcome to this week’s PlayStation Home update, which includes new spaces, outfits and some great new rewards…
First up, we have some very special race costumes coming to you straight from MotorStorm Pacific Rift. These new outfits will be available in Home Threads, check out the screenshots below for the male and female flavours…
We also have the launch of a brand-new, never before seen space – the MotorStorm Sphere. Check out the b-roll and screenshots below:
This space will be accessible for a very limited time only (so be quick!). By entering the MotorStorm Sphere you will secure yourself a rare PS Home Reward and the opportunity to see the very first work in progress artwork of a new MotorStorm Space (which will be coming to PS Home later in the year).
That’s not it for MotorStorm though, we will also be bringing you a selection of additional items over the coming weeks – some tantalising screenshots of which are below to whet your appetite…
Next up, we have the Presentation Podium section of the PlayStation Events Space re-opening its doors – this time hosting content from the forthcoming gamescom event in Cologne, Germany. Check out the brand new mini-game “SHAPE BLAST” (for your chance to win a lovely trophy for your Harbour Studio) and keep an eye on the forums for some more information regarding the footage we’ll be streaming into the space…
Finally, make sure you check out the Shopping Centre, there’s been a lovely little apparel update for MySoti, Home Threads and the V-Store.
I’ll be on hand for a bit if you have any pressing questions, otherwise I’ll see you in the PS Home tomorrow.
Thanks
Elliott / iELL

Hey guys I have a question, how come the portable ID’s still dont automaticaly update your trophies?
I just checked my portable ID and It doesn’t have my Shatter trophies even though my “My trophies” list on the site is up to date.
In order for my Portable ID to have an updated trophy count, I need to manually click “Update” in the “My Portable ID” section of my profile on Playstation.co.uk.
Months later they still do not update on their own. Even once a day would be enough. Why havn’t you fixed this yet?

Streaming content. That is the way to go. This thing of videos loading all the time is a poor way to do it. I gave up on watching trailers in the theatre because it was always loading and therefore wasting my time. Same goes for Home in general, the downloads and loading times are too long.
Video should either be streaming or on a loop, with a time counter showing when the next screening will be.

Putting Motorstorm stuff in the spaces still isn’t going to make me use Home. I’m sure it’s better since launch, but I’d prefer to spend my time playing the games themselves.
Don’t see why so many people get more enjoyment out of Home then the respective games? Bit odd, but everyone’s different.

couple of comments/ suggestions.
1. When making a video trailer for home, why not mix motorstorm:PR footage with the home footage,do some free publicity for both products?
2. Also why not put more than 1 person in the space, rocking it out to the music? The trailers seem to suggest home is a sterile space, which clearly it’s not (even though most of the time I find myself in a room full of germans who don’t talk english)
3. Is the batman home space coming? it looks freaking awesome.

Yet again another home update that beats the playstation store update to a pulp. Well done on that home team. Just a quick question. Will we see any free apartments in the upcoming months?

There are some problems with the Pressentation Podium.
1. There is to much buffering when using the video every 10. second there’s a 2 second buffering/downloading.
2. And the mini-game “SHAPE BLAST” is freezing the PS3 every time I use canon 6(I’ve tried 3 times), you have to restart the PS3 to use it again.

I was just playing the Presentation Podium shooting minigame and Home crashed when changing camera to show my shot at the third hoop away from the big screen.

I also got the crasher bug, it seems to happen randomly with two of the cannons. I hope this get fixed, because between me missing and it hanging the system its getting quite annoying.

Is there an ETA on a fix for this?

Great Job SCEE!!
I love the minigames in all the home’s spaces, what about a minigame in the motorstorm space?
And about the Presentation Podium.. what are you going to show on the “little” screen at the bottom? (the one that right now only show the home logo over and over)
PS: sorry for my english, i’m trying xD
