Those crazy Japanese

Anyone been to the Japanese Home mall today?

The japanese have worked out a glitch that allows your avatar to climb the railings in the shopping mall; so everyone's dancing on the rails or floating in midair above the pond. There's even people dancing on the billboards!

Presumably this will also work in the europe Home, so I'm trying to find someone who speaks English to tell me how it's done. It looks insane!

they've also worked out how to climb the sofas in the bowling alley - there was a formation of 4 girls all in same outfits doing a dance on one of them, bwahhaa!

pity almost no one speaks English, the Japanese Home plaza and bowling alley are both so much better than our Europeans equivilents..

in other news, they've got darts and we haven't. Plus their cinema has all their videos in HD! and you can sit in the screen with other peeps!

heres how to do the glitch - just into the railings:

some was on the railings on the eu home today aswell, i was wondering how it did it.

How do I get on to the Japanese Home?

Do I have to set up an account, how do you do this because I'd like to download SFII Turbo HD from the US PSN.

On topic, I have seen them dancing on the mall bannisters on the EU one.

As well as the railings glitch, there's one where you can skate along the ground, sit in mid-air, float above the pond, get on top of the globe in the Uncharted game space (only in American Home) and loads more.
I was checking out some YouTube vids on how to do these, I found this user who posts clear videos of the glitches and how to do them here:

YouTube - SonyLivingcom's Channel

I haven't tried them yet but will get round to it soon

I've forwarded you a PM with instructions for a JP account. I have also added info to set up a HK/US account that was kindly sent to me by Jimmy_C.

Getting on them railings is harder to do than I thought it would be!

Had a go last night and just could not get on. Watched the vids on youtube and the guy makes it look so easy!

Anyone else had any success?

I noticed some people just seem to "jump" onto the wall in upper floor of the mall!? How do they do that?! I also saw 2 "women" avatars on the wall, but leaping into the air whilst still on the wall. Jumping - when did that get added?

Probably the best glitch is the "Home server to yourself" one. Have a look at the vid in the link above. Potentially no more queuing for bowling!

I managed to get on the railings first time yesterday!

Took me a few attempts to master the first corner @ the top of the stairs though. Once I had mastered this, I managed to walk all the way around to the waterfall & jump under home on my first attempt

Any tips that you'd like to share on getting onto the railings?

Thanks

I found that impossible, just could not do it.
However, sitting in mid air is easy, and so was skating around

I've not tried any of the other glitches, but I'll have to look into it.

Just look on YouTube - that's how I found out what to do.

AL_B · 12-01-2009, 10:12 AM

Managed to get on in the end and eventually walk all around the top.

You have to wiggle the left stick like mad.

I reproduced the sitting in mid-air near the water falls and falling through the water falls into the "desert" area.

Trying to do these glitches is one of the most challenging parts of HOME, hope they don't fix them - add more Sony!

I finally managed to do the railing glitch today, but I have no idea how to sit in mid air

EDIT: Did that, awesome

EDIT 2: Also managed to reproduce the sofa glitch where you spin the sofa in your apartment to break out and explore the surroundings.
