    NGP Connectivity? What is that exactly? Are they talking about Next Generation Portable (PSP) connectivity?

    Yep, NGP is the new PSP that is coming out later this year. Interesting how HOME is going to have NGP integration. Looking forward to it.

    What I'm thinking they mean by NGP connectivity is 1 of 3 things, maybe even all 3:
    1)Direct control using the NGP in the same way we use the PS3 controller
    2)The NGP can replace our pda allowing us to change settings using the NGP itself, maybe even being able to change clothes whilst still seeing whats happening around you on your tv
    3) Home rewards unlocked through NGP game saves

    Also It's good to see there's going to be more focus on co-op and multiplayer games, It could possibly make it feel more like a game will be worth the cost when it's pay to play.

    I'm confused about one thing. What is a "hub"? They say accessing it will be much smoother and faster. Is that the PDA? Or the name of the new core CP space?

    Thanks Jo for the excellent news!

    btw, this version has new physics engine so I guess I should get as much glitching done as possible tonight!

    I'm guessing they just mean home's loading times will be faster and smoother as is the case with every core update :p I believe they're just referring to home itself as the hub... maybe the navigator is being renamed 'the hub'?
