PlayStation Home naar versie 1.60

Sony heeft alvast bekendgemaakt wat er allemaal geüpdatet wordt in de aankomende update van PlayStation Home. Later vandaag gaat de service live in zijn nieuwe jasje. Grootste verandering: je kunt nu honderd spullen kwijt op je persoonlijke plekje.

Wanneer je van plan bent om deze update binnen te halen en je draait nog de 1.40-versie (of lager), dan moet je even wachten tot het oranje lampje is gestopt met knipperen voordat je heel de update doorvoert. Buiten de onderstaande lijst heeft Sony nog veel meer aangepast.

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.
