PlayStation Home Loses Voice Chat, Gains Beards
by Chris Faylor, Dec 18, 2008 10:08am PSTThe latest update to Sony's PS3 "3D social gaming community" PlayStation Home removes voice chat, but adds new customization options, such as beards.
The v1.04 patch follows a few hours of system maintenance, which, according to the official PlayStation.Blog, should "ease the difficulty some people are having accessing PlayStation Home due to the high demand for the service."
No explanation was given for the temporary suspension of voice chat, though users were reminded that they can still communicate via text through the in-game keyboard or a keyboard connected to the console via USB or Bluetooth.
Oddly, Sony made no mention of the new customization options in the post, leading Kotaku to break the news that the oft-requested beards have been implemented.

It's like those call-centres where when you're waiting in a queue to speak to a human being you are always told that today they have an exceptional level of calls and will get to you as quickly as they can. Exceptional just like every single other time you call them. :-)
I've tried to get into Home for a look twice but even a week after its release it still wouldn't even let me connect. It's the train-wreck that keeps on screechin'!

"Man, this is a sausage fest. Where the bitches at?"
"This is boring. I'm gonna go look for a chick."
"You're cute. How old are you?"
It's like bar-creeps anonymous.
