Suggestions for questions you folks can ask Phil about:
- Was architects and decorators hired for the design of the Home utopia?
- Is there a day/night cycle?
- Any plans for seasonal periods for the outdoor environment in the future?
- Any firm details about the PS3 firmware update coming next week?
- Since Home is relatively small install, are there any plans to have it pre-installed on the PS3 HDD in the future?
- Is there any restrictions against having a bar with virtual alcoholic beverage in Home?
- What’s the policy for cross console marketing in the various game publisher spaces?

^What Wollan said. I’m also interested in knowning when the new firmware is coming for the US that is supposed to be released prior to the 3/23 launch in Europe. Is it going to be this Thursday or the next? What features are going to be included? When will we get DVD upscaling and access to XMB while in game? What about all games using XMB buddy list instead of having to add them, or the ones that have none at all (Motorstorm)?

What time zone?

- When is the US and JPN March PS3 firmware update going to be available, and will the features be the same as what was talked about in December ‘06? Multitasking, etc. More details please.

From what I can tell, the 1.6 firmware will be available for the European launch with a whole host of features and should be available to the US and Japanese machines at the same time.
It was another great time last night, big thanks to the ThreeSpeech folks and to Phil for giving us the “up close and personal” demos of Home and LittleBigPlanet.

It certainly was a great evening. Exciting to see the demo of Home & LittleBigPlanet as well. Can’t wait for these to made public.
Thanks to everyone who put last night together.
