The moment I realised the true potential of PlayStation Home was when I visited the Sodium One game space

I urge anyone who's still got negative impressions of Sony's virtual world to visit Lockwood's meta-game space and pick-up the gear you need to access the full game. Sodium One is a complete experience tied into the PlayStation Home engine — there are multiple mini-games, a complete arena..

Sony's detailed a stonking PlayStation Home update on the PlayStation Blog this week

In aid of celebrating The Empire Strikes Back's 30th anniversary, PlayStation Home will be kitted out with a new public space based on the Mos Eisley Cantina. Star Wars nuts will know that the location first appeared in the original Star Wars movie, A New Hope. Despite skipping Empire Strikes Back, the location..

This week wasn't supposed to be like this

I had a whole other series prepared for this week's There's No Place Like Home. I was going to do my best Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and make-over my Personal Space. But in my quest for fancy neon lamps, this happened [see photographic evidence above]. As I clicked the shutter of my PlayStation Home camera, I was photobombed. Allow me to relay; as part of my..

PlayStation Home has grown so much since it launched

We get it now. It's truly time for everyone to give it a second-chance. The service has found its identity, its beginning to fulfill its potential. And that potential is basically meta-games within a bigger world. You may have checked out our report on Home's Carnival space — a brilliant sub-game within the overarching Home universe. This is..

We've never been to a carnival

Not a real carnival like you see in the movies anyway. We've been to fairs, fetes and gatherings. But never a carnival. PlayStation Home's new Midway Carnival space is the kind you never see in real-life — its set at night time in a vast opening. There's a gothic feel to the place, it's almost like stepping into the opening of a Goosebumps novel (remember those?)..

The only people still hating on PlayStation Home these days are those who haven't given it a second chance

To be fair, a service shouldn't take two chances to win people over, but Home's vision has taken a while to realise. In our opinion, it's finally got there. While we understand why the service might not be for everyone, it's definitely come on leaps and bounds. You can't possibly complain..

British retailer GAME's PlayStation Home presence just got a bit more noticeable with the launch of its "Moon Base" space's second mini-game, Lunar Duel

The press release notes: "With the ultimate aim being to battle one-on-one against your opponent until their force field has been reduced to zero, Lunar Duel is a tense game where planning your attacks and using your skill and judgement to..

As announced during Sony's E3 press conference, those unable to visit E3 for real were able to enjoy a meticulous recreation of the Sony booth via Sony's digital world, PlayStation Home

Turns out, that was quite a successful move. As much as people like to rag on Sony's totally free online service, it's got quite a following. In fact, according to the PlayStation Blog, quarter-of-a-million people..

Two years after the services launch, Sony's ambitious virtual world, Playstation Home, will finally leave beta

Veemee's Kirk Ewing - whose company working on the Audi space - confirmed as much at an event in Dundee last weekend. “Home is due to come out of its beta-testing phase in December of this year.” “One in three PS3 owners use Home. There are 1.7 million repeat users each using Home..

TheSixthAxis are speculating that Playstation Home is about to get a new Home Square that will allow players from varying regions to meet up and communicate

Users of Home will know that as of right now you can only meet people from the same region in Sony's digital world. All rumour and speculation for now though, innit.

Playstation Home can often be a stange and unusual place

A typical day in Sony's virtual world will offer some extraordinary sights. Boys dressed as girls. Weird snowmen doing the robot in their underwear. People actually playing chess. If Lewis Carroll dreamt it all up, we reckon he'd be pretty proud. So when we heard Aliens vs Predator was coming to Playstation Home, we instantly figured the..

Is Twisted Metal coming? Is Twisted Metal coming

.. Of course it's coming. What better hint could you have than an awesome Sweet Tooth costume rocking its way as part of this week's US Playstation Home update. There's a bollock load of stuff in this week's update, including inFamous and Resistance stuff, a music themed personal space, and more. Hit up the Playstation Blog for more.

How strange

GAME, the UK's largest video game retailer, has announced they are to debut in Playstation Home - albeit on the moon. Yep, as we thought, it sound even weirder when typed. But it's true. The new Playstation Home space will feature video screens, billboards, Internet browser stations and free astronaut costumes. Could this be any better? Honestly?

Playstation Home's usership has grown to a whopping 12million, according to director Jack Buser

He announced the figure as part of a panel at last week's GDC, emphasising that the population of the virtual world had grown by 2million since December 2009. Sony also stated that these figures on based on "one-off" visits; according to their data 85 percent of users who create a Playstation..

Sony's announced via the Playstation Blog that they will upgrade the Playstation Home client to version 1

35 tomorrow - binning the old World Map navigation tool and replacing it with a new interface. The Navigator will help you to find your friends and "Featured Spaces" much quicker, and looks to resemble Sony's XMB interface. Aswell as the client upgrade, there'll also be a host of..

Square Enix has announced a host of new Playstation Home content set to release this Thursday 11th March in order to tie in with Final Fantasy XIII's release today

Hustle Kings has officially hit Playstation Home, occupying the Playstation Events Space

Players will be transported to a huge pool table where they'll have to live life on the edge, avoiding multiple shots from all over the table. Survive ten shots and you'll earn yourself a cape for your avatar. Top the leaderboards and you'll earn a crown too. In other Playstation Home news, SEGA's announced..

Playstation Home is actually a pretty busy service considering

Sure, when the Home open beta launched what seems like an eternity ago, it was pretty sparse. But since then the space has grown quite a lot, still not quite delivering on its potential, but still giving users plenty to do. Sadly, according to Brand Week the service isn't quite attracting the level of advertising expected. That's..

.. Finally our wish has come true, as SCEA and LucasArts has announced a bunch of Star Wars themed content is coming to Playstation Home. In fact, you won't just be getting Star Wars content, LucasArts has also pledged Indiana Jones goodies via a new themed store front in the Home mall. There are a ton of screens over at Kotaku. Check them out if this takes your fancy.
