PlayStation Home patch 1.10 coming soon [Update]

Update: The patch has been delayed. "A problem with the patch was discovered at the last minute so although the maintenance window went ahead the patch will not be available today. Once we have a date for this we'll let you know." [Thanks, Bearskopff!]

PlayStation Home will experience some down time starting at 3AM EST on Thursday, February 5th. Afterwards, patch 1.10 will be available for all users of Home. The patch will fix a number of bugs and promises to make the experience much more enjoyable. Avatar loading is promised to be faster, something we'd love to see in action. Here are the notes from the PlayStation Forums:

New features

  • We have added a new "Remove Player" function that allows the creator to remove people from a Game Launching session. This is complemented by the Block Player function, accessible via the Safe Screen, which can be used to stop people rejoining.
Changes and Improvements
  • The speed of the initial log-on process has been improved and a progress bar has been added to provide you with more information about what is happening.
  • Items that you have already purchased will now be loaded when you first log-in, reducing the loading time when you enter stores in the Mall.
  • Other players' avatars will now load faster when you enter a space.
