Ok, out of curiosity I e-mailed Sony about why PSN home not available to Malaysia. Their reply:

Makes me wonder tho. What is it that is so offensive in PS Home that makes them think MCMC will go after them if they launch it?

Edit: Just sent second e-mail asking them for details. Very interested in seeing what's so offensive.

Curious about the fun of PSN Home though, what's so great bout it? I just gotten my PS3 and using it in SG, the PSN Home for S'pore is entirely empty - wondering what's the point of having it.

It's banned probably because Streamyx is so slow here and it takes ages to download any new item in Home. smile.gif

I could only imagine that it would be exploited for political trolls and sh*t.

instead of making assumption, how about asking sony what exactly "certain laws and policies in Malaysia" prevent them from add this feature ? just to make sure they dont spoonfeed us with their BS 'excuse'

Already did. I e-mailed them again shortly after I made the post. Will keep you guys informed when they reply.

My US friend decided to not buy a PS3 for now because of the blah reviews FFXIII is getting :/ He's a FF/KH fan and was originally also going to get a PS3 for FFXIII. I want to create an account and use his address. He gave me permission to use it first, but I feel it's not polite to use it until he gets his PS3.

And they still allow all the other similar-if-not-identical virtual stuff (Second Life, Habbo Hotel, etc)? rclxub.gif

Makes sense. Sony probably need MMORPG operator license to operate Home in Malaysia if they're planning to segregate by country instead make whole of Asia use HK server.

thanks...keep us inform.


it's a mistake to make HOME a country-based services. it should be made as region-based. at least it will not be deserted like HOME SG. but then again, it's Sony call
