Sony continues to show support for loyal Home users. In the next update of Home, one feature that has been talked about for ages will finally be a reality; universal game launching. By inserting a game and following on screen instructions, you will go directly from Home to the Start Menu of the game you launched.
Another big update will give every user a camera that will allow for pictures to be taken in first and third person view. All pictures snapped inside Home will save to the the Photo section of you XMB, which can then be uploaded to the picture frames hanging in your virtual space. In addition to these two items being added in v1.3 of Home, here's a list of smaller things:
- All store items from clothing to furniture will now be able to be previewed in 3D
- A "My Purchases" item has been added to the menu pad to keep track of things bought easier
- More objects like the bubble machine will be made available to the community
- You can manually hide any portable object you encounter
- Your avatar will have some new emotes, including a "coin flip" and "pick a number between 1 and 100"
- New avatar poses to go along with the camera addition
- The targeting system has been optimized
- You can choose your Home cache size to make navigation easier (3, 5, 8, and 12 GB)
- SingStar game space will launch right around when v1.3 will be available
These are just a few of the new things expected from the v1.3 Home update, expect the full list of what will be included when we get closer to the launch date.
