O Hai PS Home, how ya do....FREEZE
Mushman | 9:07 AM on 10.08.2009 14 comments


So, after waking up and deciding to take a dump for half-hour, whilst playing Phoenix Wright (I wanted to get up but my arse kept shouting OBJECTION!!! and making me sit back down, eating lots of meat makes for huge poopies) I decided to play on the PS3. I had free time and thought, why not take a quick spin of PS Home,

'What, are you that desperate and stupid, go fuck a donkey and /wrist yourself', might be the very thing running through your head at this moment in time. It's partially true to the is situation, I didn't want to have intercourse with a donkey, but I did want to /wrist myself after what happened next.



I booted up Home from the XMB bar and noticed it needed a update, oh cool I thought, maybe it's the one with the shrinking potion, and the game launching feature that makes Home dangerously close to being relevant. So after 30 seconds or so, the update was downloaded and I looked forward to shrinking my digital self, oh man, I was wrong.

Just after the press start screen, it froze on initialising, not even the XMB button worked, so a reset was in order. ‘Ok, just a minor hitch, let’s try that again’, went through my mind.

Initialising again………………………………. bam, froze, same gig, had to reset it.


I wanted to shoot demons with my boomstick at this point.

But, the third time, that was a doozy. The reset button didn’t work, even after a minute of putting my finger on top of it. Needless to say I was pretty worried, and thought I kinda bricked my PS3, but I had to turn it off and boot it back up. Luckily all my stuff was safe. At this point I decided pulling out my own eyeballs, cooking and then eating them were far more preferable to loading up Home and running the risk of wiping out my hardrive.

I have a 40 gig PS3, so maybe this issue is to do with the mode, or the crappy servers PS Home is on, regardless, be wary of installing the new update for it, I certainly don’t want other people putting up with the dire possiblilty of damaging your PS3 over Home.

Maybe you had the same problem, I dunno, but thanks for reading this heads up, now a song for y’all to enjoy:

Delete Home.
CelicaCrazed's Destructoid Blog
I too enjoy booting up Home every once and awhile and just wasting time in there. The movie theater is pretty cool now and there's tons of free items in the mall if you look hard enough. I heard that there was freezing problems with the new update but I thought they would have fixed it by now. Thanks for the warning, last thing I need is a broken PS3.

Also, love that song :)

@Mag

As in delete Home permanently?? I've tried that, yet go back to it from time to time, I think I have a perverse obsession with changing the look of my dude on it, like a I'll-never-be-as-cool-looking-as-the-handsome-brown-guy-I-created state of mind. *sadface*

Nah, jk. I'll try that out, cheers!!

Also, wtf, you ain't on my Dtoid friend's list, I'm sure I added you ages ago, I'll quickly remedy that..

@Celicacrazed

Yup, Home is decent, I never firgured out all the hate against it, yes it can much better, but it's free I can't fathom why people crap on free stuff. Poeple often say that Sony could've put more the people who worked on it towards a new game, but don't realise the people who worked on Home specialised in this type of area, they ere not game designers by trade. Oh and the movie
theatre is cool.

Franz Ferdinand is teh awesum. :)
Magnalon's Destructoid Blog
Added you, again!

I used to mess around in Home, but then realized it was always 5 minutes tops. The Red Bull game, ESPN, etc. It started taking up a lot of HDD space, so I just gave it up.
Stevil's Destructoid Blog
Can someone remind me what the initial point of Home was? It's become such a joke that I forgot the real meaning to it!

I mean, wasn't going to be one big advertising/social gathering 'thing'? But now it looks like some half finished shopping mall that got hit by the recession and full of desperate Gap wearers looking for a bargain. Utterly pointless, but Sony can't quit on it for admitting face value failure. I don't think we'll see Home for the next system but it's not going away anytime soon.

Also, I was listening to the first Franz Ferdinand album the other day. Jesus, it's fuggin' dated. There's an albums that are timeless and then there are some that are of their time. This is one of the latter.

Nothin new, got an older 60 gig, with a spruced up HD..... and i am having the same prob.... not going on till i hear about it getting updated again.

shame.... i only drop in so often... see whats new.... but now i aint really sure its getting any better.
Palidi's Destructoid Blog
I guess I shouldn't ask if this was that update that adds the game launching and shrinking potions then.

Well, I hope they put out a fix for you sometime. Try reinstalling Home though. That may work.
RonBurgandy2010's Destructoid Blog
Fuck Home, I don't like things that aren't fun.
Takeshi's Destructoid Blog
Haha, I was going to check the Dethklok merch in Home not to buy it, just wanted a look. Froze. Bye bye Home.
Mushman's Destructoid Blog
@Stevil

I prefer their new album much more, you can tell the sound has matured and has much longer lasting value. The first one was definitely a byproduct of the time.

@Majid, Shipero

Ah, so I'm not the only one, thanks for filling me in! :)

@Ron

Hush, that's how you were conceived, through fun, just ask your dad sometime. :P
pedrovay2003's Destructoid Blog
I hated Home until I got Comcast. Now I only mildly dislike it.
MkShiranui's Destructoid Blog
Um ... Mushman? You there?

You told me if I was having problems on the site I should contact you, but I'm not certain this is the place for it. I have a forum account (same name as on c-blogs) and if you want to discuss it there I'd be glad to. I hate to bother you, but you're the only one who's actually offered this service and I could really use some help.

 about me

FANBOYS/GIRLS please do not flame or start a mini-war here, OK?

Ah, yes the sidebar, I'm a 19 year old muslim gamer from the eternal place of sunshine(yeah,right) Manchester, England. I've been gaming since I was six and probably spent more hours gaming than doing anything else my enitre life, being the proud owner of a launch day playstation. Though owning only a PS3, I love my mate's 360 and if XBL ever becomes free, I'll pick a 360 up, until then, I'm doing fine with my PS3. Despite the hardcore gaming, I work out, eat healthily and have a thing for fashion and believe a man should always look good, stay clean, and stay in shape. So I'm most definitely not your stereotypical gamer. I try to be as chilled, nice and laid back as possible, I'm up for serious discussion, but not of 'TEH C0NS0LE WARZ, YO!!' type. There are much more important things in life than humping a piece of technology, or hating someone, hating anything, anyone without just reasoning, just fucking sucks in my opinion, seeing as I'm an optimist.

I'm also a film-lover of all genres, all languages. I love to read and listen to most types of music, whatever makes me feel happy. Be it Alternative, Hip-Hop, Rap, R 'N' B, Dance, House, Techno, Acid Jazz, Jazz, Electronica, J-Pop, J-Rock, Punk, Funk, or the phenomenal, ageless soundtrack of Tekken 3, I'll listen to the songs over and over again. Finally, I'm currently studying Television and Radio Production at Salford university and making firm steps to, hopefully, become one of the best film directors in the world, srsly. Thanks for reading this, and have a kick-ass day.
