New Home Beta News

Will this every come out? We may be a little closer the the open beta of PlayStation Home. If you haven't slit your wrist yet here are the details that were given about the new 1.0 version of Home.

1. The version 1.0 Patch Notes will be published in the closed beta forum so they know what to expect and to help plan testing.

2. A couple of days later Version 1.0 will be released into the Closed beta. That will not happen this week.

3. SCEE will be inviting a large number of extra testers into the closed beta to load test and that process will start within a day or so of v1.0 going live. We wont invite them all straight away, we'll ramp it up over a a period of time. We will be inviting non-English speaking testers for the first time. Languages covered will be English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. Please remember these are languages, not countries, so more than the immediately obvious countries will be included to a degree. The lists have been chosen already, dont try changing your language to get included!

4. Once we start inviting people in to the Closed Beta the public SCEE Home forums will become the Home beta test forums.

5. The date of Open Beta start will be announced in advance

6. Open Beta starts and that will be just as it implies, Open to all

Capcom Store goes live

This week, along with the demos and the PSN add-ons and the themes and the trailers, the PlayStation Store update will offer you something a little different. It'll offer you a whole 'nother store. Previously announced a few weeks back, this week will see the launch of the Capcom-branded PSN store, which will offer naught but Capcom's wares. Handy if you're a Capcomaholic, less handy if you're still hanging out for the less-likely Atlus or Midway stores.

Wanna Play The Boss? PAY ME!!!

In an effort to limit the profit of used game retailers like Gamestop some publishers are starting to take a new approach to get consumers to buy new retail copies of games. By offering DLC and other incentives to games that buy the new product.

In an interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Epic Games president Mike Capps said, "I've talked to some developers who are saying, 'If you want to fight the final boss, go online and pay $20. But if you buy the retail version of the game, you get it for free.'"

This may not be good for froogle gamers that are looking to save a buck on used games. This could be one of the gaming industries growing pains as it figures out how to make money and at the same time meet the demands of the consumer.

Half Of PSP That Log Into PSN Have CFW

According to Sceners.org almost half of the PSP's that connect to the PSN are using custom firmwares. Some may say that the PSN is looking a little to closely to your PSP and may be invading your privacy. On the other hand you are using a service that aggreed to the terms of service.

No matter what you think this is a good sign that custom firmwares are very popular and are not going anywhere anytime soon.
