HOME Beta Updated: HOME Square, Backgammon, Chess, and DivX?

[nekon]

It seems the HOME beta has been updated and ready for download by current testers. With this update the HOME Square that was shown at E3 has finally been made available to testers. From what I understand many changes have been made to the HOME beta and they're very well received by beta participants. One of the changes I was informed of is that they've broken locations down to optional downloads. For example if you didn't desire to visit the theater you didn't have to download it. It make for a much smaller core download and allows users to define their own experiences. Anyhow less talk and more screenshots, enjoy!























I bet you were wondering why I mentioned DivX.. Is there DivX support in the PS3's future? You be the judge.



Please do no submit any screenshots or video as doing so violates your beta NDA agreement. If you are found doing so it could lead to the termination of your HOME beta participation.

No doubt, and I shouldn't I didn't take them. I just can't believe how well it's turning out. It's nice to see an update before the open beta. People were starting to wonder if they'd forgotten about the US beta testers.

It doesn't matter if you took the pictures or not. You are posting them in public, and that alone should get you banned from the beta trial, IF you are a trialist.

I really hope you didn't join these forums just to make that post.. I was given the links in an IRC chat. Neither Console-Exploits or myself are hosting these pictures. Neither Console-Exploits or myself took these pictures. We're reporting the news here just like anyone else. I'm surprised they weren't posted somewhere else first as I saw them hours before I posted it as I've had a very long morning. I included the warning at the bottom as I personally don't condone people violating the NDA. I've been in a number of betas and GAP for over 4 years and never once violated an NDA.

Dammit, i got porked in the butt yet again.....
