sometimes it's 10 to 15 minutes but then sometimes it's WAAAY longer ... if there are free items in X7, I leave them there, as verifying purchases there can take 30 minutes
on a good day it takes me 25 minutes. On a bad day it takes about 45 minutes. And does it effect me for buying stuff. . Well yeah it does.. I like the free stuff and even does I dont download because it takes to long. I can better use that time to chat with people. For example I was at the granzella burger apartment. Owned by a friend. And I noticed all the free yummys.. But I refused to get them because of the time it takes.
thanks,i am still waiting for one of the techs (joystick-warrior) to return my request for help with regaining access into home.waiting for about 5 days now for their response on what i am to do. PS. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION!
well it has already been 4 weeks without home now so i have lots to catch up on and even more to buy! i am sad that i missed out on lots of sales but i have more than enough items and clothes.I JUST CANT STOP SPENDING ON HOME!
for 4 weeks.. thats really a lot.. I hope you dont suffer from some nasty detox side effects.. I know I would get crazy.. awww it really sucks I am gasping for words but I cant find them -_-
It was faster for me I brought the new dance pack from Atomic Republic in EU Region. Took a lot less time between 5 to 10 minutes to validate my purchases this time around so I would say it is a bit faster.
This is how long it "Should" take, note this is on a total new account with no items or rewards. Yet my main account that's like 5 and half years old with over 200 personal spaces and loads of other content and rewards takes at best 12 min, So basically my main account is being punished for supporting Home and being active on it. Also to go from XMB to Personal space on the clean ID was 1 min 17 Sec, where as my main account was 4 min 11 Sec
Unreal. If only they had given us the option ages ago (like we've been asking for since forever) to delete all the t-shirts and other garbage, it would vastly improve our load and purchase times.
I have had no difference still over 20 mins its starting to put me of purchasing or even getting freebies
Hi G-G, You still probs have it,, does not always show in your inventory immediately. Some items even appear first after your next log in. Had a weird lag yesterday also (around midnight my time).. Could not load any of my saved avatars on my NA account .. got stuck in the Please Wait - WWW spinning -loop indef. After like 2h of try and error it finally let me load one and got free from my secret bunny looks.
Just got a free item from the store and it took exactly 5:58 from inside my personal space. From public spaces, I think it takes a bit longer.
And Karen in msg #52 above, said she took 5:58 in her NA apartment, too. Remember what I said about one of the previous Home client updates adding a flat 6 minutes to my store download time? Pretty weird coincidence there, isn't it? At any rate, my wife timed her recent store purchases as 7:30 for '5' items (the Lady Eventide's Bundle (3) and a U-Love-Green shoes(1))... last week 7:30 for 3 items (Tarantula and the JAM Easter Egg Heads)... today But she's had her share of 16 minute Home store snoozefests, too. Factor in that weird 6 minute delay and her store purchase time is still the 1:30 we measured back in 2012. But c'mon guys any sale transaction requiring over 35 seconds is still WAY TOO LOOOONG! WTH is Sony doing with their verification protocol?? What on earth is Sony thinking, do they actually want to conserve server endspace or something by killing all consumer impulse purchase opportunities ?!???!! By way of comparison, buying the 99¢ PSN flash sale deals (Tokyo Jungle, Tales of Monkey Island, Sam & Max Devil's Playhouse) this weekend took about 7 seconds for 13 items. My basic quibble there is that it takes longer to log into the PSN store system than it does to make a purchase, so there's some inefficient processing going on there, as well.
I agree with you and Satuli. Why isn't Sony generating a better hash value checksum to quickly reference the entirety of everything we've bought in the past? Are they using some sort of lame linear search algorithm to do data validation, or what? If fully secure crypto transactions are problematic in Home scripting, why aren't they spawning the heavy-duty redundancy checks to work offline, in the background on a separate server?
