PS3 - Home - Beware of the Home Beta Injector scam PS3fanboy reports:

We want to nip this one before it becomes a widespread problem. A program calling itself the "Home Beta Injector" will supposedly generate a redemption code for the Home beta by simply inputting a valid PSN e-mail address and password.

Sound too good to be true? Of course it is. The PlayStation team will NEVER ask for your password. Your password isn't used to generate codes for use on the PLAYSTATION Store. Instead, giving up your password means you're granting a stranger total access to your account, personal information and credit card. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM.

If you've already given away your information, we recommend you contact PlayStation support. SCEA Legal is already trying to make sure this scam doesn't spread any further.

PS3 - Home - No Sharing of Music Or Movies In Home Yet GameXtract writes "A recent interview with a representative of Home was caught on tape, and lets just say that we will add this to our hard to watch videos. The audio, and video quality might hurt your eyes, and ears so we will cut to the chase with the information on the interview, and allow your eyes to see for an additional month, and allow your ears to last you for at least another couple of years. If you start watching at 4:30 they start talking about Home spaces, and at around 5:30 the representative mentions that you will in-fact not be able to play music or movies with Home, and share them with your friends..yet. He goes on to mention that their are more important features that the developers are working on, and that they would like to cover those first before moving onto sharing media content with friends. This can be a big let down in several ways, but lets hope that they can get around to it before a public release of the service. If you are willing to watch the video you can view it after the jump!"

PS3 - Home - Heavy Rain Home support confirmed Videogamer writes: "David Cage, writer and director of massively anticipated PS3 exclusive Heavy Rain, has confirmed that the game will support PlayStation Home, Sony's much delayed online virtual world.

Cage, founder and CEO of Quantic Dream, the French developer of 2005's critically acclaimed Fahrenheit, was speaking this morning during a live hands-on demo in Sony's behind closed door booth at Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany. He did not, however, offer any details how Home will be incorporated into the game.

Heavy Rain wowed gamers during Sony's Leipzig press conference where for the first time we got a taste of how the mysterious adventure game will actually work."

PS3 - Home - SCE director hints at new Home details for Leipzig SCE's UK Managing Director Ray Maguire has given a few insights concerning Sony's plans for the Leipzig Game Convention later this month as well as post-mortem thoughts on E3.

First off, Maguire stated that Sony will most likely hold off on showing anything new on God of War III, MAG, and inFamous.

"I've seen them, but I don't think we'll even show them at the Games Convention in Leipzig," he said.

However, for those looking forward to more news on PlayStation Home and its prospective launch date, Maguire hinted that they may have something in store for people at the convention.

PS3 - Home - echochrome Coming To PlayStation Home In Two Dimensions Tatsuya Suzuki and Jun Fujiki, lead developers on the PSP and PlayStation 3 puzzler echochrome, announced that a 2D version of the game is coming to PlayStation Home at an unspecified date. Instead of tapping into the PS3's 4D capabilities, the Japan Studios team is going in the other direction, presumably adhering to their gameplay credo of "getting people to play with rules and laws."

According to a report from Develop, the two had little else to say about the next version of echochrome (obviously not pictured), focusing on the development of the first, 3D title. Yup, that's all we got. How about those Cubs?
