I used my SG one. I already got the invitation dude, downloading it now.

I'm just wondering can use my US account to log in or not only.

regarding that issue, i think some already stated that the HOME Invitation code can only be linked to 1 PSN id only, and in this case your SG PSN id


other than that id is futile

Ok thanks.

Then I'll see you inside Home I guess....

why does it take awesomely long to download the maps. :
beh tahan man

Not really. It only took me a min at most to download each of the map.

What really is gruesomely long though, is the videos. 5-10 mins to stream? Damnnn....
They better improve this when the entire beta goes online to public later on this year.

wah ssjben u use what isp? less than a minute is a miracle for streamyx subscribers! home square took me half an hour!

I think he means the loading from location to location...not the downloading of the location file. Still the loading from location to location takes me more than a min....quite annoying

anyone know how to get the stamp in namco? I only get 8 of 16.

congrats... im wont get in cuz didnt shopping anything.. LOL.. enjoy!

At the time of downloading, was using 60.53.xxx.xxx.

I downloaded the Home Square map in about a minute, the others was roughly the same. "Downloading" the videos on the theatre screens is a whole different matter though. Its actually longer than 10 minutes, for whatever the damn reason is. These sort of trailers, the file size are less than 50mb. And if I can download a 35mb map in a minute, it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes for the videos to stream.

SSJBen: dont you just love screamit

Ahh ok. It took me about 10 mins to download the maps and about the same to load those videos

hmm actually i just downloaded the maps earlier on and it took pretty fast. i wonder why. maybe cause i turned off my torrents!
and loading to each location is pretty quick.
just spent some time in Home.. sapu all the summer home and summer furniture lol.
and played bowling with 2 other guys. malaysian and filipino. lol
quite some fun!

Gone around in Home for quite a bit already.
My impressions thus far:

Home currently IMO, is nothing more than a social network service which of course its main purpose is. However, Sony hypes this up more than just being a social network MMO, they go on about saying the amount of other activities you can do in Home. Be it playing casual games like pool or bowling, its nice definitely but it comes out as rather shallow.

Sony even says Home will replace your XMB granted that you have an online connection. I don't nessasarily think that this is the case though. Especially when the biggest problem of Home being the amount of loading, a tad bit sluggish interface, and just overall an annoyance to just launch your games from the XMB or do whatever you want from ther instead.

The potential certainly is there for Home, but first and the bloody foremost, Sony NEEDS and MUST fix these excessive load time nonsense. I can't belief the fact that each map is so small and everytime we go to a different space it takes a damn nice 15-20 secs to load.

Why can't Home just have no load times is beyond me, can't the game just take 30 secs to load from the very begining and then after that everything is seamless?

This brings me to next issue, the video trailers shown on the theatres. I have no bloody idea if its the problem with service or just downright that screamyx is sucks.

How ironic is it when I can download the Summer Home map in 1 min and 12 secs(yea I timed it) and it takes me 19 minutes and 48 seconds to stream the damn Hakuna Matata vid in the Marketplace?! I am very, very sure that the filesize of that video is no larger than 60mb. Its not even 720p for god's sake.

There are many kinks to work out in Home and I can tell so far, it isn't ready for the public yet. Sony's decision to release it later this year as a "Beta" is a good choice to hide themselves behind the "Its still a beta!" excuse.

Conclusion, Home doesn't quite live up to the hype. Atleast not yet when theres still too little people around using it.

Long Loading blows. And furnishing your home space is a bit tedious too!
I can't be too arsed about streaming video and whatnot tbh.
Games are fun, but yes after awhile.. think it's like a fad really.
Ho-hum.
