Talking about streams is against the rules here, keep it to yourself please guys.
EDIT: I've just found out that if you sign in on the PS3, go over to the "Users" icon on the far-left and press triangle on the user you're signed in as, you can change the icon. You've got the square-face smilies, round-face smilies, MSN-style silhouettes - all of these in different colours - and you can even import a photo. Did everybody else know that or is it a new feature with the new firmware?

I knew you could change icons, importing a photo must be new. They should allow us to do that with the avatars too.

anyone lucky enough to have gotten a beta invite to home today?
i thought id be in with a chance having been online for a few hours everyday since ... erm ... February and downloading a boat load of dlc but apparently not
SCEE haven't said anything yet...
http://ps3forums.com/showthread.php?t=159413
And there is a thread on the EU.Playstation forums where people have dopwnloaded the beta and are talking about it and sharing info around.
-
There are also people who have posted saying they have their ps3 online 24 hours a day (when they sleep its on folding home) and have spent £150+ on DLC and had nothing and they're pissed off.
So if they're not good enough i have no chance in hell

That sucks, I should get rewarded for buying Trials of Toopq.
EDIT: I've got an email inviting me to the SOCOM beta but I have to fly to the US and pre order the game from GamsStop

The blog said emails would be sent over the next few DAYS so you might still get one.
I'd be lying if i said i didn't want an invite - but to be fair once the end of august comes there are a bunch of games im after and id rather play those 24/7 than beta test HOME which from what ive been reading of is quite limited.
Rough points i picked up on
* Personal home space is limited and most of the features we've been seeing in videos are unavailable - you can do a few things like place images on the walls and walk around but other than that its just a block of useless space.
* Public areas are lifeless and most of the activities are locked/unavailable - when there are groups of people online everyone has fun talking and asking each other if they fancy a game of XXXXXXXX - but other than that there isn't really anything else worth hanging around for.
Another problem ive seen is that people who have been in the betas since the start are either really inactive on the beta or problems that are occurring are being recorded on the sony servers aren't then being submitted in a report to sony so they have no way of finding out what the tester did to cause the problem.
Which is why HOME has been delayed over and over.
-
They should have only opened the beta to actual testers and given them guidelines to follow like you must be active online at least X days a week and submit at least X reports to sony a month containing errors, thoughts positive and negative and reporting anything else of interest that might help the beta.

I think my gaming chair is giving me problems but I'm not sure where exactly the problem is coming from.
Basically it makes a "pop" sound occasionally, it's not at specific times and seems random. If my PS3 is turned on at the time, my display either turns off for a second, or goes snowy.
I'm assuming it's either a problem with the audio input on my chair, or the power supply is dodgy? I'm just confused how the chair "popping" is managing to interfere with my display on the monitor?
Any ideas?

My brother who bought his PS3 a few months after me and hardly ever plays online recieved his HOME Beta invite last night. He's been on BF Bad Company a lot the last 4 weeks but before that he's never played any games online AT ALL because it's an arse dragging the long ethernet cable down the stairs and plugging it in.
Seems like they're picking people at complete random

Did he play using he US account though?
nope - he didn't even have a us account until a few weeks ago and that was just to download some E3 videos.
Just been told by a friend who bought his PS3 2 weeks ago that he had an email invite to home beta last night as well - he just phoned me asking how to get it to work as he has no idea as he's only just bought the console!

What was all that crap about people being selected based on the PSN activity.
Well my brothers bored of it already lol
He loaded it up - spent a while getting everything sorted and loaded - created himself, bought some clothes and items and his house, played pool and bowling and some arcade games and then got bored with it, turned it off and went back to BF Bad Company. He said he'll probably play on it again as bowling and pool were great but the rest isn't interesting to him yet.
Typical they pick dick heads like that to beta test
-
Really pissed me off that he is never online and has refused to plug his PS3 into the router when I've asked him for a game of fifa or warhawk or burnout coming up with stupid excuses like 'nooo im too tired to play' but then ill get a random phone call later from my dad and he'll be talking away and i'll hear him in the background playing.
And then he's only been online for the last few weeks and suddenly he's more qualified for the beta than me who has been online for months every day.
Very strange - i don't understand why SCEE would lie about this - why not just honest and say we'll be picking people at random?
We're they hoping that people would suddenly rush out and start buying DLC to get into home? On the euplaystation forums people have said they've spent £150+ and still not been picked.

Steams talk isn't banned from PM's somehow as well is it?

We can't monitor PMs so you're free to talk about steams or even streams in them.

I've got to the cave and hacked the 'thing' in there but I'm not sure what to do after that.
Area 01
You go up to the top of the first building and do the hack and speak to HQ to unlock some doors - then go out and go right and grapple up to the top of the second building and go in that door...
In the caves
Take the elevator to the bottom - run left - grapple up to the ceiling to shoot those lazer things. - when you get to the gaps (or if you're on easy the 2 large white cubes part) go to the far left one and grapple up and up and up - move right a bit when you get to the large black objects you cant get past - then just grapple to the top and then left and in the door.
