Not against Groove Armada or anything (i like a couple of their tunes) but i don’t think this piece of news should have been put high on a pedestal for everyone to get excited about when pop/dance music fans are only gonna cover about half the people at most. All rock fans are gonna be disappointed i reckon…. oh hum….

Hi AdyColclough,
This won’t be the last music gig in Home
(though even if the music’s not your taste, you can still check out the gig venue and play the new mini-game in the space

Seems that the new 3.10 firmware update has broken the ability to see videos on the Blog when viewing via a PS3 seems to work ok from PC

Hey all, Ben from VidZone here.
Just a heads up to say a MASSIVE thanks to all the guys at home for making this possible. We are loving working with different PlayStation 3 services and hope this isn’t the last time us and Home hook up for some ever exciting stuff for all of you guys!
You really shouldn’t miss out on this… It’s gonna be SPECIAL!!!

Hey Ben,
Tight update man
How do you guys handle requests for content for VidZone?
Because I’d really love to see more metal on VidZone. I noticed Lordi from Finland and couldn’t help to wonder why you haven’t picked one of the more popular metal bands from Finland like Ensiferum. So my metal-band for VidZone request is:
Opeth
Eluveitie
and Ensiferum
^_^
Best regards,
– Freelanzer

Really enjoying vidzone and setting up my playlists from the ever expanding library.
But having a problem! How can i play a playlist in random order?
Cant find a setting to achieve this, if it isnt available could we have this functionality in a new update. It is a major hassle moving videos about in the playlists at present.
Please leave a reply – then i know someone from Vidzone is aware
Thanks

great, we get a new space, for a couple of weeks will it be this time?
while we still don’t get spaces like the stage set, the ghostbusters firehouse and features like the picture frames.
and why bother making new games for these spaces if you’re just going to take them away a couple of weeks later and they’ll never be seen again.
yes i know, you’re not going to answer, you’ve been ignoring this question for weeks and i don’t expect anything will change any time soon.
there room under that rock with jem? how is he by the way?

haven’t been in home for months and spent too much cash in there on stupid outfits that i didnt even like (no example on your character when buying sux hard..)
i hate how its based mainly on social activities and these stupid ‘quick mini-games’..i’ve been thinking for a while now to throw it off my ps3 but im afraid i might lose my content for which i paid quite some euro’s (same for lbp, bought most the outfits and i’m afraid i might lose them when deleating game data..so that’s all stuff that takes up place even when i hardly play it anymore..especially home is a huge waste of space imo, i kinda liked it in the beginning but it keeps on focussing on all this social crap..i mean there’s chat’s for that..)
