Hey yall! This is Trisha aka TBaby. I have been a member of Club Incognito just
a little over a year now. Those of you who are members of Club Incognito are
familiar with our unique and fun events on Home. If you are not a member yet,
then what are you waiting for? LOL
In getting to know many of the members
of Club Incognito, it is always interesting to find out what we are doing in our
real lives as well as our virtual ones. I myself have been a promotional model
in Dallas for the past 8 years and currently finishing up my MBA at SMU. I’m 27
years old, the mother of a beautiful 4 year old daughter, love video games, and
of course PS Home. Some of you may already know, but I have entered Maxim’s
Gamer Girl contest. The winner of the competition will be featured in the
magazine and have the chance to be a spokes model for Virgin Gaming. Needless to
say, I thought this was a great opportunity for me.
As a member of the PS
Home Community, I am asking for your votes and support as I am trying to
represent the Home Community in the competion. As far as I have seen, there are
no other contestants representing PS Home or any organization therein. I know
that some of you have already started to vote for me and support me and I wanted
to thank you for that. I have recently reached enough votes to stay on the Top
Girls page, i.e. the 1st page of girls with the most votes. But the contest is
far from over. This is just the 1st round as Maxim will be picking the top girls
to advance to the next round from which an overall winner will be selected by
judges. So I really need your vote to get to the top 3 contestants for round
2.
I sincerely promise to do my best to represent PS Home to the best of
my ability. I am thankful for for all the support that I have received from the
PS Home Community thus far and I am asking for your vote for me to be Maxim’s
1st Gamer Girl. Click here to vote!
It
functions in a very similar way to the old Menu Pad but we have made many
improvements to its speed and ease of use.
It starts
faster and responds better making it quicker and more satisfying to navigate
around.
There is an
updated graphical design.
And a much
better layout.
Key options
are more readily accessible.
All options
are in more logical places and easier to find.
Everything
is clearer because there is room to lay things out properly when using the full
size of the screen.
Options to
globally disable voice or text chat have been removed from the Menu Screen as
these already exist in the Home Safe Screen (accessed with
[SELECT]).
Browsing
your inventory from the Menu Screen now uses the same system as the Wardrobe and
Furniture Browser. This means:
It is much
quicker to open and view your inventory.
You can
sort and filter your items.
You can
move Portable items, such as companions, that you do not use very often into
Portable item Storage.
This will
allow much faster access to your favorite Portables.
If you
can’t find a particular Portable check in Storage
first.
Furniture
slots
Each
apartment or clubhouse can hold up to 100 items of furniture measured in slots.
Prior to patch 1.65 a Normal Furniture Item always took up 1 slot and an Active
Furniture Item always took up 22 slots.
With patch
1.65 developers will now be able to create Normal and Active Furniture Items of
different slot sizes. Therefore Active Furniture Items can be created that take
up fewer slots and you will be able to place as many Active Furniture Items in
your personal space as will fit.
Please note
that all existing furniture items created prior to patch 1.65 will still be
either 1 or 22 slots in size.
To make it
easier to organize, the furniture placement menus now display a new bar that
provides a visual representation of the furniture slots in use.
This shows
the number of slots used, the number of slots free and how many slots the
currently selected item of furniture uses.
It warns
you if placing the selected item would exceed the capacity of your Personal
Space.
It shows
how the slot usage will change if you remove multiple items.
The
furniture detail menu (accessed by clicking the left stick [L3]) shows how many
furniture slots a specific item occupies.
How many
slots a piece of furniture will use is also displayed on the detail page of each
item when you are viewing it in the store.
Personal Voice Chat
The new
Personal Voice Chat system replaces the old Telephone Call system.
A Personal
Voice Chat behaves in a similar manner to a Telephone call and can be initiated
in the same way (from the Friends list, from the Chat Log or by targeting
someone).
The major
benefit of this new system is that a Personal Voice Chat is treated as another
voice channel by the chat log.
This means
all communication is now managed from one place: the Chat Log.
You can
switch between voice channels while remaining in a Personal Voice Chat without
having to end the conversation.
Alerts
Alerts have
been integrated into a new, third tab in the Chat Log.
The Alerts
that pop up on screen have a new graphical design.
Pressing
[START] with an alert on screen now opens the Alert tab in the Chat Log.
And when
you are viewing the Alerts tab pressing [START] opens the Menu Screen regardless
of any Alerts that might be arriving at the time.
Much like
the original Alerts menu you can view a list of active Alerts and interact with
them from this tab.
The tab
also indicates how many Alerts are available to view.
Shop from the Wardrobe
There is a new option to shop for clothing directly from the Wardrobe.
Extra “Shopping” chips have been added to the Wardrobe overview as well as each category of clothing.
These chips take you to shops offering more clothing choices.
Cross game invite to
group
The cross
game invite system has been expanded and now allows you to invite friends
outside PlayStation Home directly into your group.
When you
are in a group you can access this new type of cross game invite from the Groups
area of the Menu Screen.
Standard
cross game invites are still available but will not put your friend into your
group.
Grief
Reporting
The Grief
Reporting interface has been updated.
The process
of submitting a report is a lot simpler and requires fewer button
presses.
The whole
system is a lot more robust.
More
feedback is provided if there is a problem.
A new
graphical design brings the interface more in line with the rest of PlayStation
Home including reflecting your chosen pop-up color.
Improvements
Video screen
interface
The
interface on all of the video screens around PlayStation Home has been improved.
This includes:
An updated
graphical design when loading videos.
More
information about what is happening.
General
Improved
the stability of real time games making it more likely that you will be able to
consistently and reliably join one.
Optimized
the start up flow by combining some of the configuration files into a single
download. This may reduce the log in time by a small amount and will help reduce
the chance of an error during log in.
Changed the
general download system that PlayStation Home uses to increase responsiveness
and potentially provide a small improvement to download speeds.
Made some
general improvements to networking that should increase reliability.
Smoothed
out the loading of images for display on either side of the message of the
day.
