Here are some news about the new PS3 service, Home, which has begun last week.

  • Let me share with you an article talking about the PS3 Home service, in its different dimensions, explaining how this world works. (source: Eurogamer)
  • After public release, as expected, it came the problems. The main issue is the registration and login process since it’s almost impossible to enter Home sometimes. According to Sony, this is happening because there are many users trying to enter into Home for the very first time and the servers aren’t answering well to this demand. (source: Eurogamer)
  • Sony’s expectations for Home are high. They want to turn Home into a system seller. Dan Hill, Home service manager for SCEE, talks more about Sony’s expectations. (source: CVG)
