Home Manager says firmware 2.50, Home 1.00 set for October

PS3Fanboy writes: "A tipster from the Home beta took a snapshot of this recent thread in the beta message board. A bug affecting Home users got a response from the Home Manager, "TedtheDog." The bug currently freezes PS3 systems running the beta and also gives users sporadic Network errors. He says that the bug will be fixed in an upcoming system software update. "2.5 is what we're waiting for and 'October' is what I've heard, later October is my guess".

[nbsmatambo]

finaly lol

[chaosatom]

LET firmware 2.5, include voice chat and cross-game invitations.

[Ben1054]

forget that screen capture thing in during all games

[INehalemEXI]

Screen Capturing feature would be reaaal nice.

[Fishy Fingers]

Argh... less CAPS please.

[StephanieBBB]

But srsly folks he has a valid point, don't get your hopes up too high because they might get crushed for the 3rd? time? I haven't kept the count.

But speculating does not hurt so carry on =)

[SullyDrake]

After Home graces us, PSN will finally be the best online console service around.

And launching in the same month as LBP is absolutely brilliant. I wouldn't be surprised if they delayed it so much just to launch with LBP.

The PS3 reclaims the place that the PSX and PS2 formerly reigned as the best, most fully-featured, most interactive, and most fun gaming console around.

[NipGrip]

And I will say it will not disappoint the majority of PS3 owners. Die-hard nitpickers, perhaps, can't please everyone. But overall the delays are very much worth it when compared to early shots and videos. The beta gives a very good idea of the foundation within and what can be done.

I want the US beta to get the NAMCO arcade like the Japanese version has :(

[BlackRaven85]

Told everyone.

[Final_Rpg]

dude, if they added those features I would be 100% satisfied by the software present in PS3. Or at least until they add new features that contain flaws for me to criticize.

[skynidas]

Awesome

[Johnny Cullen]

It would be awesome if...

- FW 2.50 came out with in-game voice chat, cross game invites plus more
- Home came out
- LittleBigPlanet came out
- Bioshock came out

All on the same day! And considering Bioshock and LBP have dates in the UK, thats October 24th! You think Firmware 2.40 was a changing point in the console's direction, if what I just mentioned would have happened, it would be probably be the best single day in the console's history so far.

[skynidas]

THAT would be awesome

[Drekken]

I've been saying open beta will come out with LBP - BELIEVE!

[StephanieBBB]

That would be awesomeness overload. People would die from it...

[King_many_layers]

cross game chat and invites are as high on my list as LBP and HOME, if they got those 2 features in 2.5 I would then be completely happy and would applaud Sony for taking notice.

[Final_Rpg]

It would only make sense for it to come out simultaneously or before Bioshock and LBP as they both contain features that are used in Home. If it isn't out by then you will have a game that claims features that it doesn't possess as of yet. You know what that's called? Lying.

For that reason I think that we will be seeing home by next month, DEFINITELY.

[Zip]

thats very lickly since its a friday, so we migth get it the thursday

[aiphanes]

Home 1.0, LBP, Bioshock, Socom, Fallout 3...firmware 2.50....

[heyheyhey]

i know what you mean man, October is set to be a killer month

[skynidas]

Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Farcry 2, Midnight Club, FIFA 09....October will be huge

[Beast_Master]

Is it sad that I have Fracture and NBA: The Inside on my list for October as well?

[King_many_layers]

I don't think it's sad, I don't think I'd buy either of them personally, but hey everybody has different tastes. The sooner people can realise this the better.
It's a shame that many will go through their entier lifes without realising this.

[juuken]

FINALLY!

[karlostomy]

FINALLY!

[Pain]

what ever shale they say then??

its ok bots with global warming and cheap toasters for heat maybe being Homeless for winter till M$ copies Home in XbOX 3 in 09/10 wont be so bad...

[juuken]

...-___-

[Sergeant Osiris]

vietbot gorillas?

all they do is knock the king of the hill when their own offering doesn't even make it halfway up. Go get a console that doesn't die, go get games that don't look liked polished xbox1 games and then come knock the one company that actually EXCITES any of us when it comes to next gen.

MS and their platoons of bots are the worst thing that has ever happened to gaming. Stop worrying about PS3 sales and worry more about why no one wants your boring console anymore. You better hope MS never takes over console gaming cause that will be the day more than half its market disappears and the rest move on to something else.

[CyberSentinel]

....should be condemned.

Blind Lemmings, The War Is Over, You Fail.

[TheHater]

I would love to get my hopes up, but I am not. But I so hope it true, because I can't wait to be in HOME

[whoelse]

It's a bit risky putting a lot of confidence into this but if it does come out next month, then that's awesome.

[MrNegativity]

LETS NOT FORGET THE PROMISE MADE TO US LAST YEAR AND HOW CLOSE IT WAS TO RELEASE TIME AND THEY JUST DELAYED IT. WAIT A MINUTE, AROUND THE SAME TIME TOO.... HMMM...... WELL WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE.

[Neuromancer]

YES !!!!!!!!

[rawd]

Toooooooo Human

[KiddyBrownTurd]

Halo. Gears of War.

[LinuxGuru]

I've learned to take any "news" about Home with a grain of salt....so I'll wait for confirmation to believe this.

[Hellsvacancy]

No1 can fault the Ps3 and how far it has come,

Im feelin really proud to be a Ps3 owner,

[TheColbertinator]

About Effin Time! Rejoice gamers,the time of waiting has come to a close

[BLUR111]

firmwarestation 3 finaly gets it's long A W A I T 3 D firmware boost!!

[Drekken]

Better than twice a year. I will take new features and improvements anyday. NEXT -

[juuken]

And you idiots wonder WHY I curse at you so much.
Get a life.

[Drekken]

juuken, its been a long day today and I am winding down by readin N4G news and I am more aggravated then before. I lose brain cells on this site.

[pixelsword]

...still waiting for that to go away.

See, anyone can be an @$$hole, too.

[BLuKhaos]

at least it's fixable unlike the RRODbox

[BLUR111]

damn simple minded trolls.

[Sergeant Osiris]

"damn simple minded trolls"

says the simple minded troll, when any idiot can throw around the very labels created to identify THEM, you know this whole thing has become a big joke.

[xcroptic]

wiiiiiii :D im happpy

[SL1M DADDY]

I remember a day when that would have been spelled...

WEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!111

Boy how Nintendo has changed us. lol

[Fruit Loops]

is hope....

[xxsnowmanxx]

that the new firmware will add the new PS bluetooth headset compatibility/interface.

[SlyGuy]

I wish they added support for more than 1 headset!

Most times I am playing Warhawk with my brother (split-screen) and it sucks that we can only use one headset.

Guess too many peeps do not want this feature :(

[Ryangp]

i cannot wait for october but i cant believe that home will come out ive heard this too many times but lpb tho :D!

[PSWe60]

....(goes back to work)

[REPLOID24]

PS3!

[JD_Shadow]

...(at least last time I heard about it), then Home being open in some way would have to be out before Bioshock came out to take advantage of the Home stuff.

Yeah, this rumor seems to be more than just a rumor. This has some mustard to it.

[Parapraxis]

SOCOM an Warhawk also wll have Home integration and they are already owt. Not trying to be a downer, I sure hope they'll be out around the same time too!

[JD_Shadow]

Well, concerning that, too, it will be out around this time, and alot of signs are suddenly pointing in the direction that this rumor is saying it will go.

Fingers are crossed. Alot of things are validating that.

I'll be VERY surprised (dismayed, too, just to say that THAT emotion will be there, as well, but with shocked being the dominant emotion) if this thing is delayed any further, because with how well the extended beta is going, I can't see them needing that much more work on it.

Oh, and I'm curious (I sincerely don't know this, not trying to be a smart ass in asking this), but is it already included yet, or will they have to patch it first? Because I think with Bioshock, the integration will be able out of the box, which if SOCOM and Warhawk wasn't, it could further my suspicions.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

There are so many people that think the final version of Home won't be out this year. We will see if they're correct with their assumptions.

[Nitrowolf2]

possible release when Socom comes out mybe?
think about it, an update comes out next month for the new Bluetooth Headset. So is it possible they will release Home at that time?

[waznotwaz]

Sony have been pushing Little Big Planet.Sony have been pushing Home.It makes sense to me that they would attempt to release them both at the same time.LBP is something you do with your friends.Home is meant to be something you do with your friends.Without Home LBP with still be a great game.Release LBP with Home and ... WOW.

[Nitrowolf2]

Well also if you look at the comments posted on PS blog, it seems that the director of HOME Jack Buser have said it a couple times that HOME open beta will start very soon, sometime in Autumn

[Naked-Snake]

...

[KiddyBrownTurd]

that boring, eh?

[Naked-Snake]

If cross game invites,in-game chat and Home come out all at once in October then all I can say is R . I . P XBL.

[dj_funky]

i say treat! october is awesome for ps3 owners =)

[Nitrowolf2]

Think about what sony could do for the public when HOME is released. I mean we might be getting better contents right after its been released. Im not saying the stuff we get now is bad, but im just saying that sony can then focus on other and possible bigger projects for the PS3.

[TheExecutive]

Seriously, Ted is the only dude giving us any information on the beta (I am in the beta) and this is what he gets? Seriously, we are gonna be left all alone in HOME if people dont knock this sh*t off.

[2 cents]

my birthday is on 24 october!! Man what a treat for my birthday

[dkgshiz]

Just like when people say live is so much better than psn. what does it have that PSN doesn't? I can play online, I can download movies and games, I can chat with friends. I mean it has everything Live has. Plus PSN is free. So thats even better. Also, PS3 has much better games. MGS4 alone could kill any 360 game.

[KiddyBrownTurd]

1 movie. whoops. I mean game. wow. too bad you said GAMES with an S. try again. poooor uneducated droid.

[UnwanteDreamz]

"1 movie." is a fragment (consider revising) Just revise the whole thing because the your post does not have a single true sentence in it. Lets not start this petty crap k.

[nqabassist26]

October is gonna be a freakin sweet month

[DARKTRINITYxxx]

Cant wait. Noticed not many XBOX360 trouble posts in this thread. Why ? because they are all banging thier heads against a wall shouting why oh why did i buy a XBOX360 lol.

[CallMeMilenko601]

Home has been hyped and delayed for almost 2 years and I'm just not as interested as I once was anymore.

[CallMeMilenko601]

1 year, 1 1/2 years, 2, 3, 4, 34, idk cos I'm not sure anymore. It's just been so long.

[soccerboyy93]

I hope this guy is telling the truth and I hope what he says about the Firware 2.50 is True also, I can't wait!!!!

[Pika-pie]

October is going to be a crazy month

[Final_Rpg]

OMFG, so damn close... Home I can almost touch you! But not yet, just a little longer.

[Ryangp]

your all going to be dissapointed i bet so dont get too exited.

[Ryangp]

Lol weird i was listening to come home by one republic and only just noticed a minute ago hopefully its fate it means that it will come out october

[J@D]

The capture screen is the features that I'm looking and the one that I'm exciting for and looking forward along with the voice chat and cross-game invitation. Coincidence with the release of LBP, Bioshock =P

[thewolf5]

my b-day's oct. 12, i hope to god i can get enuf b-day money to cover all my expenses for such an insanely awesome month, LPB+Home=awesome fun w/ my friends

[StephanieBBB]

You don't need money for free first class entertainment! =)

[NanoGeekTech]

I am wondering how big would firmware update 3.0 be.....

[azmanmanz]

Ps3 owner got home
Xbot owner homeless

[leeger]

i think Home won't come until Dec of this year

[PureGamer]

Home has never excited me id rather play games on my games machine so if it comes out on the same day as LBP its not going to get downloaded till a couple of days after. Also why are some fanboys mentioning xbl?
