Rick, if your not Japanese or at least live there I'm afraid you probably wasted your time. The Home betas are region locked.

Click that for more details. Seems like once you download the theme you give yourself a chance to participate in the beta? I don't know. You need a Japan account to download it.

i think this is a test for the closed beta, so the japanese public can see how its like and is it good enough to be released

[pp]

japanese people want like home because the people in home don't have big round eyes

swede, was hoping someone may be able to paraphrase rather than the 50% google or babelfish translations.

your name reminds me of "be kind rewind" have you seen that? this topic has officially been "sweded"

[Dir_en_grey]

Just download the thing and you are entered in the drawings.
They'll let you know if you've won after the drawings by letting you know in the mail you've set up in your Japanese PSN account.

Plain and simple, no need for wordy translations =)

[MrSwede]

@NewScratch, I'm gonna see "Be kind Rewind" as soon as it gets here :-)

I just thought you hadn't tried Google translator yet, that's why I threw it out there.

[Jim Hawking]

When it says (the wood) it means moko or Thursday. When it says (month) it means getsu, or Monday. F.Y.I. if anyone was confused.

[Omega]

Hope they keep their promise when the open beta is released for the fall.

[jay2]

I've got a feeling this is region locked.

[Solid_Snake666]

how would they know you dont live in japan??

[Skerj]

Your IP would be one.

[whoelse]

ip address.

[NoxiousD]

A lot of the members on the official playstation forums are guessing, there may be an IP check to see if you are really in Japan. But, I for one, doubt they waste time doing that, i just hope when you chat it is not all in kanji and hiranga.

[Solid_Snake666]

true but lets hope they don't do that and let us try home

[Dirty J]

I'm just glad that something is finally happening about HOME.

[jay2]

yeah IP checks, plus if I remember this right you have to provide an address when creating an account, plus Sony have said

'Sony's Playstation 3 Home service – which has been constantly beset with delays since launch – is going to be 'region-locked' according to a Sony rep at E3.

While users will be able to visit any of their online friend's private apartment areas in Home, all the public zones in the virtual world are to be restricted by the geographical area you live 'IRL' (in real life).

It's another blow to PlayStation fans who were hoping that the service would be finally rolled out this year, which is also looking increasingly unlikely.

If you want to meet up with your pals from abroad, then you'll be able to invite them into your apartment, but warping into the game space to bowl or play chess is not possible.

This is allegedly to make sure that each region receives an 'experience most suited to their tastes' as well as, no doubt, to keep advertisers happy.'

So the Jap Home BETA being region locked seems to be all but confirmed. Plus, fellow EU gammers, remember the Uncharted Demo....

[spandexxking]

uncharted demo?

edit: oh right it being region locked

[JAKESPLACE_]
