Home Is Where The Heart Is! It's 4 A Good Cause!

Okay, on the "PlayStation Home General Forums" PSN ID: "CRUNKRIS" made a a thread (Which may be located here!) to make home support breast cancer awareness. Here is his post, which we support 100%!

"I love how ps3 users have the ability to help with Folding @Home and partake in something bigger than ourselves. I also like how The Playstation store is doing something in honor of earth day: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/21/sony-to-donate-up-to-10-000-in-celebration-of-earth-day/"

"I Would love to see home utilized to do something good in the world. I know its a long ways away, but I think Sony should sell Pink shirts (just a simple pink shirt) in the mall and give all proceeds to Breast Cancer Awareness. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so they have plenty of time. Anything can help. When you were in high school, they would pass around buckets and promise pizza parties to the class that raised the most money. Well, you might have donated a dollar then, as most students did. Well, I would be more than willing to donate a dollar, especially in exchange for a Home shirt. But we don't have to stop there. Any other ideas are welcome. Like maybe Aids awareness. Would you buy a pink shirt for a dollar? Or maybe $0.49?"

"Yes, i know. But most of us are young & naive enuf to think we can have a real impact on the world. What can i say? Blame my youth. Just not yet willing to abandon the urge."

Since this is about breast cancer awareness and there official color is pink that is what they wrote it in! Support this cause!

E3 Comes To PlayStation Home

In case you haven’t noticed, the almighty Internets have been abuzz with gossip about E3, PlayStation Home, and where the two will meet. Well I’m here to put the rumors to rest once and for all, and confirm what the community has been whispering about in the corners of Home over the last month.

Here’s the deal: We will be showcasing a special taping of Jack Tretton’s E3 Keynote Address in-world come Tuesday evening. We’ll also be bringing you tons of showroom floor footage, developer interviews, sneak peeks, and other cool vids courtesy of our friends over here at the PlayStation.Blog. All you have to do is head over to the Presentation Podium to watch it on the big screen. This special Events space is accessible via the Menu Pad – just press Start > Locations > World Map then select the PlayStation Home World Map chip and press X. This will break out into several other chips; just scroll over to the Presentation Podium chip, press X, and teleport your self to the party.

This shindig is running for the entirety of E3. That’s right – 3 full days. So whether you’re a morning bird or a night owl, you can come into PlayStation Home and check out this hot footage. We’ll also be giving away limited-time, exclusive virtual items. But you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled and make sure that you are in-world all-day, every day if you want to get them all…

BUZZ! Comes To PlayStation Home

Great news BUZZ! fans!

SCEA is going to launch a brand new space in PlayStation Home called BUZZ! HQ, where players can chat and meet up with other trivia fans in a new lobby area or take part in a massive 64-player BUZZ! trivia showdown!

The game works by making you run around the studio on a massive BUZZ! Buzzer to answer questions, all of which are taken from the best content that you’ve created on the MyBuzzQuiz.com website.

Four colored answer buttons are laid out on the floor and you need to make sure you’re standing on the right answer when the time runs out. The winner’s decided over four rounds, and there are a number of exclusive Home prizes up for grabs for the greatest players. We are very excited to be bringing a fantastic new BUZZ! multiplayer game to Home and we know this is going to be a great social experience.

So keep an eye out for the new BUZZ! space, which will go live very soon. In the meantime, check out this virtual tour of the space and let us know what you think



Keep on buzzing!

Resistance Space Unleashed, Game Launching Confirmed!

Whether you are a heroic Sentinel triggerman or a heartless Chimeran killing machine – it’s high time you log into SCEA’s PlayStation Home and join your fellow soldiers as we launch (pun intended) into the next phase of the platform’s evolution.

This Thursday, May 21st, the epic sci-fi shooter franchise Resistance comes blasting into Home with a dedicated game space featuring an awesome turret-style FPS mini-game, reward items, leaderboards and full-on game launching support.



Visit the space early in the day and use the “Four Barrels of Fury” mini-game to trigger your itchy finger. You will be awarded special virtual goods as you further hone your Chimeran ship blasting skills and a nearby global leaderboard will capture and display the highest scores. Then take advantage of your war-torn surroundings and meet up with fellow Resistance fans, old and new, and launch into either co-op or competitive multiplayer matches of the critically-acclaimed apocalyptic shooter, Resistance 2, developed by Insomniac Games.

On launch day, your favorite Community Managers (ahem!) will be on-site to battle with you, and the folks from Insomniac will be dropping in over time to do the same (like next Thursday, from 5:00-6:00pm PT). Best of all, we’ll be designating every Friday night from 6:00pm – 12:00am “Resistance 2: SRPA Siege” nights. We’re inviting you all to show up and contribute to the carnage, whether you are currently fighting the virus or happily succumbing to it.

See you in Home!
