Playstation Home Update 1.55

Have you been to the Playstation Home space recently? No, didn’t think so and this update won’t likely change that, but it does add some new features worth noting. Last Thursday Sony released the latest update for their virtual world, version 1.55. It mostly consists of stability and efficiency updates, but I personally found that those issues are what kept me away from the space. after the break are all the new features.

NEW FEATURES

Start-Up

• Improved the layout, design, color scheme and text of the start-up flow.
• The start-up flow will now display a variety of information depending on how recently you last visited PlayStation Home.

Wardrobe and Furniture Browser

• When you are browsing through a category of items in the wardrobe or furniture browser we now display the name of the object you have highlighted.
• There is an option in the Menu Pad under “Options > Settings > Personal > Clothing / Furniture Names” to change this behavior:

• Off: Switches the display of names off.
• Selected: Displays the name of the selected object only (default).

• Name.
• Description.
• Image.
• Whether it is a purchase, reward or part of the default inventory.
• Date of acquisition (if relevant).
