  • hmmm….since I downloaded this new update today I can’t seem to load Home.:\ Nice! Love it when you update the site and we can’t even log in! And the errors oh my gosh please keep them coming!>:(

  • I purchased a [VEEMEE – Kitchen Sink $1.49], but am found nowhere. :-(

  • These items seem cool and I like the retro diner a lot. I’m having a hard time buying anything else in home. here are some issues I have.

    1.) not enough connectivity with the overall PS3 experience( the Killzone3 preorder was a step in the right direction) some games give thing in home with trophies more of those would be nice and in game items for in Home games. And that trophy room would be a good start.
    2.) A better inventory solution. The storage is a nice idea but maybe we could get descriptions of merchandise or separate rewards from purchases.
    3.) A buy back or credit program for things you may want to sell back in home. I for one was Kind of disappointed in a few spaces I bought that I wish I could sell back or get credit toward a new space instead. (the Mansion for just an example was sold as a connected space but really was 5 different spaces.)
    4.) something at all for Clubhouses its been years ……
    5.) some type of personal media playback in personal spaces music movies netflix even an internet radio option.
    6.) some type of in home issue and status space for error status and problems.

  • what does the updated software do? 1.52. Also when will we be able to fit more in our personal spaces 2 active items is sort of ridiculous now and 50 total has too low for even longer. I know this isn’t the most optimal place to voice the issue but you are trying to sell items to us. If I can’t put but 2 active items per space for the foreseeable future there is little reason to buy any more of those.

  • I agree, I only buy new items or active items when they will replace currently in-use items. I’m also more careful due to the complete lack of consideration for broken space “Waterfall terrace”.

    Go read the forum on that. Been broke for some since 2009. Just use the link provided by Glasswalls to confirm my statement.

  • @glasswalls , can you explain to me why Sony charges real money for play station home virtual items please reply

  • i wish i could attend this event with all you guys but my ps3 still has the YLOD but im still a loyal pa3 fan I will be sending it in :) i cant believe it YLOD’D 5 minutes after the network came back

  • @ dwilliams11346 what do you mean real money? the last time i logged on home everything was bought with psn cash or credit card if its using real money you probably have a credit card active on your account

  • Hey I just saw the Winter Vacation Villa on YouTube and it looks awesome. Is it going to be for US Home as well?? Please say yes….. Lol

  • Mace! Mace! In the FACE!! Other than that, I got nothing. :D

  • I wish those Damn AXE angels gave you things for the girls avi’s to wear!!!

  • okay in the Virtual item’s showcase the female avi that is holding the Animated Ice Mace/Flail. She is wearing a top that I’ve never seen before is this a peak into future content or a item that’s old news???

  • an issue i wanted to discuss is the qriocity music unlimited service.why is canada the only country that doesnt get it?i checked on my psp and there wasnt a canada flag in the options.now i find this very sad.there are A LOT of ps3 users in canada,i can guarantee you that sony.so please fix this issue,i was even considering paying for the service.

  • How about putting some Trophies in HOME?? I think that would make more visited :D Instead of having trophies like (gold, silver, bronze) you can have gem trophies like ruby, emerald, diamond XD.

  • OMG WHAT HAPPEN TO THE INFAMOUS 2 CLOTHES I BEING LOOKING AFTER EVERY UPDATE SENCE PSN CAME BACK ONLINE :(
