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".

1.1 - it coincides with LBP perfectly and bioshock too.
LET firmware 2.5, include voice chat and cross-game invitations.

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 =)

1.7 - Finally
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.

1.8 - I'm in Home Beta..
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 :(

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

11.1 - on that note
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 :(

15 - Since the PS3 Bioshock will have Home Intergration...
...(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.

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!

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.
