RaceVW14 GTP_TheMoose for GT5P
Who needs a xbox? I gotta PS3!
The latest update to Home has a game launch feature where it looks like you can make a private room but it won't do anything with just 1 person so I need someone else to try this out & see if we can get a private race going.
It would also help if you had a headset to make it easier to coordinate things.

I have a weird work schedule so it doesn't necessarily have to be me that does it, any group that has the Home beta & GT5P can try this.
I'd just like to know if this is going to work or not.

I certainly don't. Do you?
Can you describe the "game launch feature" interface?
What does it look like?
What options does it present?

Yes I do.
There is 2 options, create a game where you can add people & chose how many people will be allowed & how many private slots there will be & there is an option to launch a game.
It does let me create & launch a game with the latest update (v0.8.3) that's why I was wondering if anyone else had GT5p & the Home Beta so I could see if they could join me & we could have a private race.

That vid was made with the November update the latest update was yesterday.

I guess I'll try creating a game while I'm in a public space & see if anyone joins me.

Recommend me (PSN: GTP_Mars) for the Home Beta trial and I'll join you :P

Shame I have no internet at the moment :ouch:

(Seriously, plenty of GTPers would happily join the beta trial if they were invited by the guys over at the Playstation forums - I know that Scaff (PSN: ScaffUK) is a member over there too, so maybe he'd be a good recommendation? 💡 )

I'd recomend you if I could!!:)
I'm just one of the people that happened to get picked, I got no juice with the powers that be!
I am happy this is in Home so whenever the open beta starts we can have private races with good clean driving!

Do you have any information on when the open beta will start by chance? I've got GT5p, and a headset........but no home :guilty:

All I've heard is rumors, pick a date & chances are someone thinks that is the date the open beta starts!
 
Even though this feature (create, join friends games) has been added, it has not been fully implemented yet. However, if you do create a game for Prologue, you will enter the game as if you launched from XMB. When you exit the game from My Page via PS, you will go back to Home.

Apparently Sony decided to skip the open beta and go strait to release so no beta unfortunately.. They realize they are so behind now they need to release it whilst people are still interested (its a big PS3 selling point!).
 
I wonder if it possibly to share it, like some people have done with the GT5P demo? Or was it maybe downloaded a different way?

I am that member as well, but I never ask for the beta version of home. :dopey:

it's not like you ask. you have to be invited. it's hard for them to invite someone who just about never posts there, so i understand.

I don't usually post that often, even in here. i read a lot tho. you can tell by the 0.37 posts/day thing on my profile. --edit- oh dear, 666 posts. lol.
 
Nothing yet but from what others are saying you can start a game in Home (which I have confirmed) but not a private game (which I have not confirmed).
 
I would like to try this tonight, if anyone is interested. Send me a friend invite if you have home. PM me if you would like to try to start a gt5p game tonight from home. Maybe it will put us in the same race somehow.
 
I would love to try tonight as well. But I wont be able to get to my PS3 until tomorrow! :(

Launching GT5 from home will only launch the game not pair us up in a race
