Hmm, I guess that’d tie in with the rewards the ISE takes then. I didnt think of that stuff, good point Gary. My knowledge of what the ISE gives is pretty sketchy at best coz, well, I’ve never used it!

But when it involves rewards from paid-for games I suppose thats a lot more like theft.

The hack can give you rewards from paid games like sodium 1, so from another point it is like stealing a free gift from a magazine.

You might laugh at this Rainbow but the ISE hack (or cheat) only gives you access to all the free, winnable items and rewards in Home. So rather than put in any effort to win stuff, ISE just puts all rewards from nearly every region into your inventories.

Some may argue that because the items cost nothing, they’re not actually “stealing”.

I use the Loot camera and I hope this doesn’t effect saving stuff on the cross bar. That’s my only concern. I’m sure it will work just fine. In the end we have no control over changes Sony makes, but I doubt they will try to make us angry on purpose. Great Article Ted!

If I have a tidal wave warning I will seek higher ground. You can wait with your umbrella.

I don’t understand all the technology with clouds and servers and how it all works, but I think what Sony is doing is a positive thing. If they are putting all our info on their servers than I think it could mean that Home will continue on for a long time and be available on the PS4 when it comes out. I agree, wait and see -- until the 1.75 update happens, we don’t know what to expect. People can speculate and not be happy with what is going on but in my opinion I think it will be a good thing.

I also have no clue what an ISE Hack is and honestly don’t want to know. But come on everyone knows stealing isn’t good. What’s the point? Sure the stuff on Home can get costly after a while, but what’s the purpose of stealing something virtual? If you get caught, can’t you get in trouble?

Just remember, Home is a virtual game. A place you can escape from every day life and stress. I am sure whatever Sony is doing will be a positive change. Let’s “wait and see”! Good article Ted!

If this update means having home on the ps4 this is a good thing.

The ISE thing is becoming like a trophy. You get items from Japan and wear them on your US account. It’s like look at me!

Unfortunately Ted, there’s a very easy work-around to the new saving system that hasn’t even been implemented yet -- I mean for those who use the ISE hack. The migration of the data won’t really give us much back in way of HDD space either; MB’s at best. Home files really dont use much space.

The idea of readying our Home experience for PS4 is great and I welcome that, but I don’t understand why Sony feels that taking more control from the user is an okay thing to do here. It’s very possible for them to change the way the servers read the data from our HDDs that they could detect stolen and un-paid-for content without taking away the user’s ability to safeguard their own data.

The whole wait-and-see thing just doesn’t sit well with me.

“Daddy, Daddy! Is that a tidal wave headed for us!?”

“I’m not sure son, let’s just sit here and wait n’ see; Kay Saraa Saraa…”

Theres a healthy number of users that I think would like to see home fail because they can say I told you so. After core update Wednesday there wont be millions of users logging to do update, as I mentioned in other article it took Aurora a year to get 1 million unique visitors and Lockwood gift machine even longer to get 1 million unique customers, so dont think all of a sudden Homes going to have a million users uploading saves. This update actually brings home inline with imvu which has 64 million unique accounts the last time they released a figure they had loads more accounts than any of the social networks, but as a point only has 100,000 users on there regularly .it has unique feature for VIP users, new home update has unique features for psn plus users, imvu is saved to its own servers so you can access it where ever you are, new home update does same. Some would say home is more complex and they would be right but the sheer large numbers of imvu dwarf homes numbers. user accounts just to use imvu 64 million, unlike psn where theres more users but not just for home, 1.5 million articles for men, 5.5 million articles for women, 500,000 private spaces, 350,000 public spaces, 2 million furniture articles, 25000 different types of avatar, 65000 poses, 25000 companions, unlimited wardrobe outfit saves. Them sorts of numbers can create a slower load time depending how complex public space is, how many users are there and what they are wearing. But if anyone thinks it cant be done, look outside home, it can be, dont expect the worst just wait and see.
