Home…soon? New launch info.

Posted on December 11th, 2008 by Captain

From Sony’s official HOME website – forum:

“Technical updates are progressing and as you have probably seen the 1.03 patch is available for existing users already but the service remains unavailable whilst work is carried out.

Service should be back up everywhere early PM UK time although theres no specific time as theres a long list of actions being worked through in Europe, America, Asia and Japan.

New comers to the service will find the Home icon on their XMB once we activate it. You wont have to look for it, it will be easy to spot and will appear under PlayStation®Network. However, if you are online on your PS3 when we activate it you will need to restart your PS3 for it to appear. Watch these forums for news on when that is. It will work like Folding@Home in that the icon will be there and you’ll download the service when you first select it.

Inside info tells me that it’ll be up around 2pm GMT. Fingers crossed — i’m not out of work before 4 anyway, but I’d like to get people’s first impressions on here.

UPDATE: Nothing yet…..(14.44 GMT)

They’re currently trying to fix some bugs.

Hopefully they’ll get this sorted soon. I’ve no doubt it’ll be up by tonight.
