Many PlayStation Home users are reporting that they are finding strange messages on their Home PDAs.  Some of the messages appear to be coding, yet others seem to be something more.

One of the more disturbing messages follows:

  2. Rictor says:

    Saw it last week. Think it’s code for a new game content. I was thinking Killzone.

  3. Sentry says:

    Who knows, really weird. :S Some people think it has to do with the rumored 2.7 FW update, but they might just bee looking way to into it lol: http://thegamingowl.blogspot.com/2009/02/is-sony-trying-to-tell-us-something.html

  4. Trexman says:

  5. Sakura_Senpai says:

    Isaac……hey maybe it is exclusive dead space content, i mean it seartently sounds like it….for some odd reason…maybe i just love the game who knows.

  12. Ben says:

  13. ZXcorr says:

    Whoa… Those are scary! I wonder what happened…?

  14. adrian says:

    its all going dark dave.

  15. Dom6390 says:

    I saw a different one but didn’t have a camera to see it! it said something about and unexplained drop in water pressure and to have someone go check it out. weird aye but unless Sony are actually using dynamic virtual pumps in the areas that have water that must have been planned, and must mean something. I read it while in the summer house btw maybe its still there I don’t know

  16. Gil says:

    attempt at viral marketing.

  17. It’s definitely not code leaked, so it’s either
    1) Viral Marketing by Sony
    2) Hacked by someone who wants to mess with people

    Either way, this is the greek symbol for Xi:

  18. [...] What is going on with PlayStation Home? [...]

  19. Dom6390 says:

    hey I just noticed something else. in the EU home square on the screen that’s showing red bull after the advert finishes it cuts onto something else. There’s about 5 seconds of it and it makes a high pitched bleep sound then shows what looks like a conveyor belt carrying something then zooms out to something else it all looks very industrial. However this thing appears to have eyes :S I did think it was Kilzone but it resembles something like wall-E but darker
    Check it out see what you think

  20. cube says:

    OMG! Above poster is correct!
    It’s in-home. Briefly in the few seconds you can tell it’s in the home square… OMG, are they opening the doors?… and I mean THE doors?

  21. Javier says:

    What really surprises me is that you guys are still inside home… what are you doing in there? Last time I was there it look more like a ghost town.
    There is nothing to do.
    Please let me know if there is something new that I should know about.
    Thanks

  22. xBiG_BoSS-911x says:

    We over at the Official Forums are trying to figure it out.

    Hey Sev, can you tell me/us when the redesign is going to be done (PM me on PS forums if you want to tell me lol).

  23. Traxxer911 says:

    I love stuff like this, assuming it’s not a bug lol. Can’t wait to see how this develops.

  24. Ratchet1848 says:

    I just looked in mine and it says on the Latest update page….
    –Open Alpha Test Space–
    if s==”AlphaZone3″ then
    OpenDoors(AlphaSpace[8])
    end

    That’s coding and i have the second picture you gave sev….that seems like a note to the programmer that someone can’t get a cpu to work, not sure why we are seeing it.

  25. ZemaOner says:

    Yep. I got that first message last week.

  26. Some friends of ours at the PS Forums have set up a site for those of you interested – http://sites.google.com/site/pshomemsg/

  27. Latest Update: function Xi_S93() { MemCpy(&Stapler,&35623,sz); for ctr=1,MAX_EXP do SecureWrite(exp[ctr]} end Wipe(&Stapler); }

  28. Three weeks ago there was a significant drop in water pressure – too large to be explained by any leak. Yesterday, another drop in pressure was noticed.

  29. –Home maintenance Aqua – 3/cs:1 svalve=GetWarningSource(); if sValue==’FEC819′ then –Home Square CallEngineer(t1); elseif sValue==’A76bC1′ then –Central Plaza CallEngineer(t2); else –Apartments NotifyMaintenanceControl(); end Return 0;

  30. Visual recognition confirmed. Security barrier now open.

  31. r = Validate(cSecurityAvatar[g->MAINTENANCE_DATABASE]); if (r) then bBarrierOpen=true; Trigger(AudioSecurityOpen); else –Transmit(AlertSecutity) //jess :smileyhappy: Trigger(AudioSecurityFailed); end

  32. Space– if s==”Alphazone3″ then OpenDoors(Alphaspace[8]) end

  33. David Macphail says:

    This is obviously some kind of viral marketing. It could be a publicity stunt for Resident Evil 5.

  34. Sakura_Senpai says:

    I think you all got it wrong!

    Sony is probably cleaning the fish pond in the square, i mean home has been out now for 3months and those fish dont keep their crap inside you know, but one would guess the pumps or one of them failed to open, thus the engineers are tryieng all sort of tricks to open that valve, phew fineally i could meditate at the pond again without suffocating, man those algy were driving me crazy!

    hehehe……………………….its coming soon.

    It’s probably one of those internet things. That will lead to something bigger!! Like F.E.A.R 2 Game, which they send out packages to a couple of youtubers. (Free Promotion) And they had to wait for the pass code. Maybe they are going to unravel a new PSH patch that will have a secret room were you go into a virtual reality world or something I don’t know. Lol, VR within VR.

  38. LukaX23 says:

    Lol, yo used my pictures from my phone >.< Lol, ya I’ll admit. I did over react and come to the conclusion that this is more game-related than FW related.

  39. [...] of this mystery is spreading, but the primary sources of player sleuthing are at the Playstation forums for Europe [...]
