This Thursday, December 8th, we will release the latest update to the PlayStation Home client. PlayStation Home version 1.60 delivers a wealth of improvements and updates to the core client, not the least of which is a doubling of the item placement limit in personal spaces! Here’s a look at what’s coming to you as part of PlayStation Home v1.60:

How to Apply the v1.60 Patch

If you are upgrading from an old version of Home (v1.40 or earlier) then when you attempt to apply the v1.60 patch please wait for the orange “hard drive activity” light to stop flashing on your PS3 before commencing the patching process.

NEW FEATURES

Furniture Placement Limit

We have doubled the furniture placement limit in personal spaces and clubhouses from 50 to 100 items.

Standard and active furniture limits have been merged into the same system. Currently all actives take up 22 furniture slots in the new system. Thus you can now place a variety of different combinations:

100 standard furniture items or…

78 standard furniture items and 1 active or…

56 standard furniture items and 2 actives or…

34 standard furniture items and 3 actives or…

12 standard furniture items and 4 actives.

GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS

Targeting in Personal Spaces

Targeting in personal spaces has been improved.

This means you shouldn’t accidentally target furniture items through floors or ceilings any more.

Although we have made exceptions for wall hangings and lights as these tend to be placed quite high up.

If you find any items of furniture in places you can’t reach then you can always remove them through the furniture browser and place them somewhere else.

Portable Items and Companions

We have changed the way that companion portables work so they will now automatically re-activate after you enter and leave a game or relocate between spaces. No more having to put your companion away and take them out again when you do this!

Help System

There is a new help system to aid new users as they explore PlayStation Home for the first time.

Arcade Games

Arcade games are no longer subject to the 3 minute inactivity timeout when placed as furniture in Personal Spaces or Clubhouses.

CHANGES

Menu Pad

We have removed the “Community” section of the Menu Pad. The information that used to be contained in here is now communicated via the Message of the Day pop-up at login and the new loading screens.

The PlayStation Home Community Theater is updated this week with new content from Gamer Indepth—ShoutOuts, episode 20 and Luge Control, episode 3. In ShoutOuts, the team covers recent holiday community events, and showcases some of the spooky content releases, and Luge returns covering her first experiences in Home’s newest game RC Rally.

Of course, there are plenty more bug fixes and enhancements that are part of v1.60 as well which will help improve your day-to-day experience in the wide world of PlayStation Home. There are also additional tools for developers that will enable them to make better games than ever before possible on the platform are coming as part of this massive update. We’re excited to bring you a bigger, better PlayStation Home just in time for the holidays. Log in this Thursday to check out this upgrade and, as always, please give us your feedback at the official PlayStation Home forums.

In other news, it appears that ol’ Granny Lockwood’s been hard at work again, and this time she’s taken her inspiration from the chilly extremes of the planet the North and South Poles! Pumpkin Pie the Polar Bear and Popsicle the Penguin can’t wait to play with you. They both love to do tricks – be patient and they’re sure to show you what they can do (Granny Lockwood also knitted them some cousins just for the Gift Machine – look out for them – they’re only available for a limited time!)

Midwinter Angel or Burning Desire? This Winter Medusa line brings you the latest hairstyles, perfect for relaxing on a frosty afternoon or heading out to a glitzy evening party. Men have the choice of a new short, mid-length, or long look. The Troy is a side-parted, clean-cut look with just enough tousling to ensure it won’t look out of place with smart or casual attire. For those with angelic tendencies, there’s the wavy mid-length Gabriel, and for those who want a more casual look, The Tropical Dreamer is a long dreadlocked style.

Ladies can opt for up, down, or somewhere in-between. Up is The Burning Desire, an exquisitely complex do incorporating pinned waves and plaits, while down is The Eve, with gloriously long waves. The Midwinter Angel offers the best of both worlds, with pinned back sides and long loose locks. If you’re not sure which look to go for, the Medusa’s Winter Hairstyles Packs are available for both Male and Female – mix it up for each party!

Those of you that visit the new PlayStation Home Mall this week will also find awesome new items like VEEMEE’s “Devilrobots” companions and “Smug” furniture line alongside Mass Media’s latest additions to their Weird Wear series and various other items including new animated emoticons, companions (who doesn’t want a peacock?), new items in Threads (such as the Hollywood Celebrity line) and furniture (like the Star Projector)! Log in this Thursday to add these items to your collections! I hear there are going to be some freebies scattered throughout many of the shelves in the Mall this week as well…

Lastly, our friends over at nDreams are excited to give you a sneak peek of their new War Room Clubhouse, coming soon to PlayStation Home. Check out this early screen shot from nDreams:

For those who may not know, PlayStation Home Clubhouses are unique private spaces where users can invite dozens of their friends to be members of the club, and anyone on the members list can come and go from the space, even when the owner is not present. These are excellent for building and sustaining gaming groups, clans, brotherhoods, sisterhoods, etc. because of this very flexibility and access as an invite-only space.

In addition to all the standard features you’ve come to expect from PlayStation Home Clubhouses, the War Room has a very unique social feature that helps club owners or team leaders get their message across during club meetings or discussions. It also includes a special access point allowing users to teleport from the War Room to other set locations. We’ll have more info regarding this awesome new Clubhouse soon – keep your eyes on this Blog to stay in the loop!

See you in Home!

Our first podcast is now up! Listen in at http:/http://thechivalricfamily.webs.com/apps/podcast/

and let us know what you think, and post any questions and concerns you might have, we'd be more than happy to take them into consideration!

Hello members of The Chivalric Family! I've discovered a medium thorugh which we might be able to more effectively get out the news of our meetings, events, and anything relevant! I'll be starting a Podcast on our website, and testing to see if I can upload the same files to my PS3 which I will in turn be able to send out via the PSN messaging system to everyone, whether they have a computer or not!

I feel like we'll be able to communicate much better if I simply take notes during the meetings, form them into a podcast, and send them to everyone so they have their own records of all our happnenings!  I'll be sending out the update soon as to whether or not this will be sucsessful, look for updates regarding this soon! 

Regards,

Firdausai 

This week's Topic - New Employees

This week I was astonished at 10AM to find something that is almost extinct in fast food. A young, white girl walked into the counter area, and started taking orders. Little did I know that we had a new employee that had started working since Tuesday (since I only work weekendss) named Savanah. Now I knew nothing about this girl, but it took all of her first 9 words spoken about an hour after we silently worked together for me to instantly like her more than anyone else currently working at Jack In The Box. After having some trouble with the passing trains and being frustrated by my inability to hear the customers, Savanah walks up to me and asks, "Want me to take the headset for a bit?" I have not had the pleasure of someone asking me this question in months, no one seems to care if I stay in my 5'x3' area taking orders and passing them out (by myself) for about 6-8 hours (excluding my half hour break), but this girl did. I think its safe to say I've found my new favorite co-worker. 

That being said, we go through the same process all new people do when they arrive in my familiar third home, a million and a half questions that I'm left to answer (not that I mind, having been there myself). Its around this time that people begin to have much less patience than they usually do, using the new guy or girl as a punching bag for their own personal problems; its always easy to pick on the person who's forced to deal with unpleasant people for $8 an hour. A man walks up and insists that he hasn't gotten a sandwich, a relatively easy problem to fix, just make the sandwich and send him on his way with a free antenna ball. However knowing that this girl is new, the man insists further to antagonize her by insulting her work ethic, and asking to speak to the manager about her indolence. 

Consequently, flustered by the situation, Savanah (like anyone in her shoes) starts making mistakes because of the stress something like that will cause. And of course, before handing the fine genteleman his sandwich and apologizing for the incident, I made sure to leave him a surprise or two in his food. 

Needless to say, other than that one indicent Savanah knew full well what she was doing, despite being new. Lesson here? Don't mess with the people who handle your food, and don't underestimate the new guy/girl. 

I had worked until the last minute at an expo in Dallas so dressed very professionally in a business skirt suit I rushed to the DFW airport. As I stood at the ticket counter, I looked beside me and Tim McGraw was checking in on the flight. At that moment, Mr. McGraw looked at me and smiled. Did I mention I'm a huge fan of Tim McGraw? Well, when he laid that beautiful, sexy smile on me, I was so smitten that I took a step backwards and bumped into my suitcase. I fell backwards over my suitcase, heels thrown like ninja knives in different direction and legs flying akimbo giving Mr. McGraw a bird's eye view of my unmentionables. I was horrified. I lay on the airport floor, spread eagle, praying that death would come swiftly. I opened my eyes to find Mr. McGraw standing over me, wicked grin on his face, offering his assistance. Funny thing he didn't seem to mind at all! As soon as he spoke I realized, this was not Tim McGraw. He looked just like Tim McGraw but he didn't sound like Tim McGraw.
After we talked for a minute and I made a bad attempt at explaining that he looked like Tim McGraw, he told me that he got that often and that since he was slightly older that Tim McGraw looked like him. He was a complete gentleman with the very embarrassing encounter which did make be feel a little better.
