This Week in PlayStation Home: Gran Turismo 5 + My Chemical Romance, Dragon’s Lair & More!

76 10

One of this year’s most anticipated games and eagerly awaited albums pair up in PlayStation Home this week for a special giveaway. Beginning tomorrow, Thursday, November 18th, visitors to PlayStation Home’s Central Plaza or Theater will be able to pick up an exclusive Gran Turismo 5 costume designed by the platinum-selling rock band, My Chemical Romance. The band’s single “Planetary (Go!)” from the upcoming Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, is the main song in GT5’s opening cinematic sequence. This special racing suit will only be available for a limited time, so be sure to log in to PlayStation Home Thursday and pick yours up while you can!

Miles from civilization, hidden deep in a gorge that once housed a secret government facility, lies the long-lost Dam personal space, the perfect location for each and every aspiring arch nemesis that simply needs a proper hideout from which to formulate plans for world domination. Pick yours up Thursday from the Estates store in the PlayStation Home Mall and then commence becoming the evil overlord you always wished you could be (just don’t make the common N00B mistake of falling into the built-in piranha pool…)

In other news, the PlayStation Home Community Theater will air episode 5 of GamerIndepth’s “ShoutOuts” this Thursday. In the newest installment of this popular videocast, the GI staff sits down with Amped from the first season of the PlayStation Network original reality show “The Tester” to talk about the new season (and the new contestants). On that note, we’re pleased to announce that Episode 3 of “The Tester 2” is now live in PlayStation Home as well. So be sure to head to the PlayStation Home Theater this week to watch the newest episode of “The Tester” and pick up a limited edition t-shirt reward!

The PlayStation Home Mall gets an enormous update this week with standee furniture items appearing in the LOOT store from Top Cow’s famed Witchblade comic book series (including standees of The Magdalena, Sara Pezzini, and Danielle Baptiste), Dirk the Daring and Princess Daphne outfits from the classic Dragon’s Lair franchise, and new additions to the Sodium store.

In celebration of the impending holiday, we’re bringing the popular Turkey Chase game back to Central Plaza! To play, simply approach the giant stone turkey, proclaim your allegiance to the almighty Meleagris Gallopavo by stating “gobble gobble,” and then proceed to chase down legions of wily turkeys while unlocking some truly hilarious rewards. It’s not only ridiculous(ly fun), it’s the most festive way to pass the hours and days leading up to Thanksgiving. Check out this video for a sneak peek at what we have in store for you Thursday.

See you in Home!

  • @ MOMO

    Omg I didn`t even know about the club attire costume had a diff walk, for real? I didn`t even get to see it :(

    LOCUST AND GLASS!! Speaking of broken costumes, the girls Mummy one from Codeglue is broken. I`ve mentioned this several times and even messaged you guys on Home about it. No one can see girls do the Extra Mummy Dance feature. While we can see ourselves dance on our own screens, it just shows us standing still to everyone else.

  • i can’t believe that it took a full year to come up with 45 megs of code for the home update

  • Playstation Home is only getting better and better! Thanks, Sony!

  • This update looks great! I wonder do you get to do anything at the pool in the dragons lair? or is it decoration?

  • Too bad on returning last year’s event, a new reward would’ve been nice for those of us that attended this same event last year. PlayStation Plus Burn Zombie Burn item is still missing, any updates when we can expect?

  • BOOO TO RECYCLED TURKEY!!! WAY TO CHEAPEN THE COSTUME EVERYONE GOT LAST YEAR!!! ARE THOSE SCIONS? NO THEY’RE TURKEYS. I LOVE HOME BUT THE RECYCLED TURKEY GAME IS FAIL.

  • I am very dissapointed at the lack of creativity when in comes to Personal Spaces, A LONG LOST DAM ? REALLY ? Last week you gave us girls, a dress that looks similar to what a stripper wears outside the club, while waiting for a cab, and now an unnecessary personal space, i have spent close to 1,600 dollars in HOME and i expect a lot more than a LONG LOST DAM, get someone with some creativity, give us FANTASY,give us OUT OF THIS WORLD, maybe a Personal space on a asteroid overlooking other planets, i dont know but STOP giving us these type of PERSONAL SPACES, that have no relevance and it is not interesting.

  • I am very dissapointed at the Lack of Creativity when it comes to Personal Spaces,last week you gave us girls a dress an exotic dancer would wear while waiting for a cab, outside the club and now A LONG LOST DAM ? REALLY ? i mean cmon guys,give us FANTASY, give us OUT OF SPACE, give us SAFARI,i dont know, just stop MAKING these UNNECESSARY personal spaces that hardly anyone wants to get,the creative team needs to step up their game.
    Also, the chat log needs to be changed back to what it was before, with individual colors not all GRAY/WHITE is very confussing when people are talking at the same time .FIX THIS!!

  • Dragons Lair in HOME? Thats just the coolest thing I’
    ve seen in Home so far. Well, that and the Siren place.

  • Also, i would like to see a TRADE IN program, in which we get rid of horrible personal spaces that were sold to us with deceiving descriptions, making them sound soo glorious, and then turned out to be crap, like the MOTORSTORM BEACH PLACE, when i got it, i went by the description,which made it sound GOOD, but when you actually see it , it has rusted crap all over the place.Im sure they are a lot of people that feel the same way when i say that our AVATARS need to be more animated and do more GESTURES,be able to at least Hold Hands, its been too long.
    The wardrobe changes are great, had a lot of stuff to put away .

  • there needs to be a grand gran turismo public space.

  • @53

    Can you understand a single word this MOMO guy is saying? Wow…

  • I’m sorry, but that GT5 costume is one of the ugliest things I’ve ever seen. It kind of looks like an effeminate Super Dave. And how do stars and stripes fit in with a Japanese game?

    Tell the band not to quit their day job.

  • How about a Disneyland Public Space, and personal Moon Base, Yacht (in the Harbor), Honolulu, New York, and San Francisco Hotel rooms, Star Trek Enterprise Space…

  • sony using reusable content from last year? is this going to happen alot?

  • Can we get a new central plaza? It’s just plain out horrible and old. It doesn’t fit with everything else. The Gamer cafe or whatever it’s called now isn’t even in the central plaza. The mall doesn’t match the inside from the outside. Look at EU, they got a whole shopping center with two areas full of stores and it’s all organized, unlike our mall. We need a new shopping area that will make shopping easier by going to a specific store instead of just looking through one store trying to find something you can’t because there are too many categories in one store to find anything easily.

  • Another week of total fail. Updates that come too late & take too long. Report still doesnt work. Vendetta still doesn’t work. Homes public spaces still lag far too much to be usable. Mods are still not present on home. Victims harrasment are still being banned for trying to report while the pedophiles still run free. SCEA is still trying to fob off low end virtual garbage on us at foolishly high prices.

    SCEA you fail again!

  • I agree I would like to have the Mall more easier to shop at & personal spaces should be more interesting. The update is ok but they should switch back to color coded chat bc it is hard to keep up with conversations. it also would be nice if we could swim in the beach and anywhere it has a pool. A cool game that i would love to see happen is laser tag, that would be cool where you can get a team of avatars and play a game of laser tag. Midway can use introduce a new game or 2 that would be great . But I have to admit I enjoy HOME :D

  • Hi Locust. I am new to the PS home world and recently played the turkey chase game in the central plaza. i won several items but the hands and legs never showed up in my wardrobe, but the navigator says i have won them. not sure if its a glitch or really bad lag or some bug but is there any way to resolve this? i have tried logging out then in but no fix :(

  • aaarrghhh is the GT5 MCR racing suit alrady gone? is it a day event only? is there any other way to get it under the GT5 event?

  • play call of duty black ops it’s the best

  • I like cake. I don’t like recycled events. I would like my lost items back. I would like personal space upgrade packs. I would pay 3.99 to have 4 active items & 100 furniture items. I would pay 3.99 per space.
    3.99 x 10= $
    I would like a media streaming device (netflix/Sony BGM).

    <3 Varucca Salt
    P.S. I want a pony

  • I have not been able to log into Playstation Home for over a week now. What’s the deal??? Ever since that last update was installed ive had nothing but trouble on PSH. Is there anything that can be done to get me back to my friends?
