I mean how many times have we done this? And then nothing comes up.

Still, here is to hoping.

Its not the freakin beta. We do this same thing every month when Sony does their routine PSN maintenance. Oh they're releasing Home today wow. No.

The public beta will start when Sony says it will start. You can bet that for something as important as this, Sony will make sure that we all know the exact day we can get our hands on it.

I don't think it's home open beta '

I think you may check the blog when it's time for beta. THey usually put big news there the day before.

...it's not the Home open beta. It's the Home closed beta extension. I don't know if this maintenance is related to it but Sony said that the beta extension WILL be at the end of August. Everybody knows the open beta is coming this fall. Right now we're talking about the closed beta.

If Sony brought Home out now because u guys want it so bad and u can't wait then it would be buggy to hell and you guys would complain and say it is crap so just wait until it is ready to come out with out any bugs this is something that Sony which Sony wants to be perfect with out any bugs so who ever does a review on it wont take the piss out of it.
so just wait.

Jinxstar - 480 days 14 hours ago

I agree. I really don't mind all that much though. It will be nice but I have enough to do in one life to worry about whats going on in a 2nd one =P. Still though it will be fun to play chess in the park with my brother who lives on the other side of the country... Or walk around his house and see pics of his family and stuff... I am looking forward to life with PS more honestly for myself. I watch the news in the AM but if I can get weather traffic and news on my PS3... Great.

There will probably be servers. 100's of servers. You can jump to different ones at anytime to hang out with your friends and such otherwise it will probably just default you to a local one. VOIP is probably either a Range thing(Within say 8 feet to hear kind like real life) or a "Do you wish to hear Jinxstar talk?" and you click "Yes" or "No" unless you are in Jinxstar's house then you get to hear him period.... or something like that... You can probably initiate a conversation via voip by a simple hit of the L2 or something. or just use the new keypad, your own keyboard, quick text or the standard slow msngr we all seem to use =P

@ Bleow.

Yeah thats how servers work... you house X amount of people on A and X on B and X on C and allow people to jump around in them to meet up with friends. Usually servers don't allow transfers like that but I'm sure with a good network it could work fairly well =D

Also it's been said before that each area will be limited to something like 100 users at once so will have to be duplicated many times over to accomodate so many people.

If your worried about it... I mean Sony is really good about replacing stuff... How much is it going to cost you for a "just in case" and can you afford it?

Edit: REally there is a lot of factors besides money. Do you have kids? Would it cover that(i.e. spills)? Do you plan on using it mainly for gaming or movies(Movies wear out the drive faster due to constant spinning)?Really what all is there to say. I mean if it's 20$ your not gonna miss then by all means if it's 60$ you will miss... keep it away from kids and food and take care of it...

play_b3yond - 480 days 14 hours ago

It costs like $118 for 3 years, and I can afford it. I just want to know if it is needed or not. I have never had a consol before. Use to be a pc gamer but I don't like it anymore and since the 360 sucks monkey balls, and the PS3 impressed me more with their 2008-2009 line up, I bought the PS3.

Edit: Actully I don't have kids since I am 17. I won't be watching movies, just games. I am also really good in keeping stuff. So do you think I should get the Warranty or not.

Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report

Jinxstar - 480 days 14 hours ago

Well really it's too hard to give you good advice. I'll tell you though I didn't do the warranty. I mean I went through 2 PS2's because they wear out over time but much more then 3 years apart. I PC and Console game still. honestly though bud I would say don't but I feel like that would be jinxing you =D So I won't say nothing but I can tell you most people on here didn't. Probably 90% or more.

If you take care of it it's not needed. The console has a less then 1% fail rate and those that fail do so early on in their life(mostly. Due to faulty wiring, Static or something of that nature) and would be covered under manufacturers warranty. I think it's a waste but I know there is someone out there thanking his stars he got it too...

LoVeRSaMa - 480 days 14 hours ago

No the PS3 has a very low PHAIL rate unlike "Competitors".

even if by chance your PS3 breaks, and your warenty is out, sony will replace it free of charge =]

play_b3yond - 480 days 14 hours ago

So I guess I am joining that %90. Thanks for the advise.

EDIT: You are joking about Sony replacing my PS3 if it breaks after the warranty is out, right?

Agree(0) | Disagree(0) | Report

mfwahwah - 479 days 18 hours ago

Yeah, don't listen to that lol. They charge either $100 or $150, something like that, if warranty is expired. Fail rate is very low on PS3 though, so I don't think you'll really need the warranty.
