Lambrick  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 8:58 am

time to finally find out what all the commotion is about!

Ftwrthtx  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 8:58 am

Interesting. I’ll have to look into this.

Cruizer8  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 8:58 am

I just read about this on the GAP forums, sounds interesting. Thanks for the heads up, I am gonna have to look into this.

Ackers11  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:00 am

Blkant  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:04 am

Intriguing… This might actually get me into home.

liketoski  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:07 am

XI is that Japanese?
What does it mean?

Jon_Mclane  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:07 am

I’m Confused??!?!

LongTallnUgly  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:09 am

I know I’ll regret it but I guess I’ll have to redownload home and investigate this…later…maybe…

freakyzeeky  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:09 am

Do I just run into it? :/

KazeEternal  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:10 am

Cyd you and L_S rock! =D
Will work on it immediately!
Love having new Home stuff… And this Xi stuff makes me feel like sherlock holmes! =D

CydoniaX replied on March 23, 2009 at 11:29 am

Thanks, and enjoy!

Enforcer_X  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:14 am

I don’t have enough time for present current reality, now alternate reality.
WOW!
I have to check this out!

KazeEternal  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:15 am

BTW this sounds cool, keep it up and Home may actually be worth something.

CydoniaX replied on March 23, 2009 at 11:18 am

This is just the beginning…seriously, if you haven’t checked out Home in awhile, we are now busting out new content regularly. Xi is just a part of this, though an extremely cool part of it. Check it out!

ruffneckc  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:16 am

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When are we getting game launching abilities for every multiplayer game in the PS3 library? Why is it that the most basic of features for both the XMB and HOME get prioritized and delivered before all the extra stuff?

1) XMB - Voice Chat across games
2) XMB - Voice messaging(30 sec clip)
3) HOME - Game Launching for all games

Deliver what the fans want first and foremost then surprise us with all this Xi stuff.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

CydoniaX replied on March 23, 2009 at 12:32 pm

All that stuff is still in development, game launching started with Warhawk and should be supported by all future game spaces now. It takes time, but we haven’t forgotten about all the stuff that our users really want!

CydoniaX replied on March 24, 2009 at 3:47 pm

Guys, some clarification seems to be needed on my above comment, apologies for being misleading. I was talking about voice chat for Home in general being worked on, not specifically about voice chat across games or voice messaging on the XMB. I can see how my quick answer was taken as a confirmation on all 3 items, but this is not the case.

remanutd5  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:21 am

ok i have managed to find the first two pieces of the first puzzle , does anybody know wheres the last one???

LN_MEXWARRIOR  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:23 am

Looks interesting I might check it out and log into HOME… It’s been some time…

LN

JAXX377  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:24 am

Can’t wait till I get Home and check this out, only 3 1/2 hours to go

Sareth  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:26 am

What on earth is an alternate reality game?

I’m so very confused…

Lifewish  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:28 am

i will have to check this out when i get home

Bildo818  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:30 am

I hope this is as good as the LOST alternate reality games!

If anyone hasn’t participated in ARG’s, you might be disappointed. But to those of us who have, let the games begin!

ytcracka  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:34 am

Home is pretty uselss…I’ll pass

Fersis  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:34 am

I will ty it today.
Looks fun

Sekoku  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:35 am

>> The world’s first console-based Alternate Reality Game starts today in PlayStation Home.

Bleh, ARG’s are lame. More Gamespaces.

inveigle  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:35 am

I’m intrigued. :)

spunnups  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:35 am

More stuff like this will keep me logging into HOME. Make it fun tough.

SirFleetALot  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:37 am

Very intriguing. I will check it out!

Seiven  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:39 am

FINALLY some REAL events planned for Home…I will be checking this out as soon as I get home.

HanSolo  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:41 am

i stopped using home because it always has to load at the start up and it takes a long time, it also has to load every time i switch places, i cant take it, it takes tooo long, why? why not install the whole thing instead of dl all the time?

Thunderstorm025  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:45 am

I would love to have a look at this, but sadly i am not old enough to access home…

czakhary  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:45 am

This does sound interesting. I hope it is good!

Methusalah  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:50 am

Sounds cool. I’ll give it a chance.

and for all those asking:

jayrockslife  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:50 am

Hmm.. is this a ploy to get more people to use Home? I haven’t been on it in a while. Too busy gaming.

Wollan  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:52 am

I finished all today’s missions (’expeditions’).
I’m having a lot of fun.

Thumbs up to the developers.

Very well executed.

Delriach  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:54 am

It’s pretty interesting.

NiavlysUS  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:55 am

I was curious about what an ARG is and found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_reality_game
Good reading!

MK24ever  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 9:55 am

HOME really needs some fresh things.

shystie1  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 10:03 am

Thanks for the post Cyd. So have you had any time for donuts today?

CydoniaX replied on March 23, 2009 at 3:40 pm

Sadly, no. Way too busy playing Xi!

Neil  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 10:07 am

Sounds interesting - like Lost in Home.

jimmy903  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 10:08 am

Awesome!

TakiFuGu  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 10:08 am

OOOOOOhhh kay! You guys really need to figure out which direction PS Home is going. Whatever happened to the trophy room?

nuness1988  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 10:11 am

I’ll check it out. I haven’t enjoyed home yet but maybe this will help.

JKC31  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 10:12 am

Home is the Developers Graveyard.

StalkingSilence  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 10:13 am

so weird

MrMcdoobie  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 10:15 am

Very intriguing. I’m liking it :)

DonnyG  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 10:15 am

Looks like I’ll be going into Home today.

u_nick  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 10:18 am

Interesting, and fairly fun. My connection was laggy today, and I got kicked out of the hub a bunch. But overall, decent.

acerazer1  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 10:22 am

Sounds really interesting, I’ll have to check it out. I haven’t been in Home in forever.

SOOPERGOOMAN187  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 10:24 am

Socom and warhawk vouchers please, been waiting a month now. Where is it Locust* and cydoniaX? WHERE?!?!!!

Jewdo  |  March 23rd, 2009 at 10:25 am
