  • how long will the halloween stuff be in the store before its taken out?

  • Will u guys bring the disgaea 4 space to america soon u keep ignoring me man

  • Any News on the HUB???

  • OMG!!! wat are you guys doin behind fda scene??? this is the …… 5th weak/whack update in a row!!! i havent enjoyed home since the week of the tycoon penthouse!!!! i actually stayed up while da network was down for that 1 …… but guess i’ll be on battlefield 3 til you guess do something exciting on home again… add me 4 battlefield 3… thanks for saving me money tho….

  • when will the hub be open

  • will the reward bug be fixed? I read on the EU blog that the Lockwood showcase will have additional rewards this week, are we getting those too?

    • Yes – you are getting the Showcase and new items in the Gift Machine. Which means I can now use this as an opportunity to post the blurb I originally wrote for this blog post…excuse me while I make some more bad jokes:

      The Lockwood Publishing Showcase has been updated for Halloween, adorned with diabolical décor perfect for gathering with your friends for a poltergeist-filled photoshoot. Go to the Showcase starting this Thursday, October 27th to pick up six sinister, limited time rewards – you’ll have to visit each day to collect them all! And if your friends are short on costumes this Halloween, you can put them up on a meat hook in your apartment…I mean, meet up with them in your apartment and hook them up with up to 10 ghastly gifts from the Lockwood Gift Machine!

  • please open the hub next week

  • Haunted personal space looks cool! looking forward to the Halloween festivities!
    Disgea 4 update? no thanks, would rather see the cap com sky lounge!!!!

  • Looking forward to all this sweet Home stuff. Do you know if with Aurora 1.3 they added more levels after 99?

    • I’m not sure, actually – I haven’t had a chance to play the updated version yet. There are definitely some updates to OrbRunner though – I know that much.

  • Granzella Items? :( Estate? Edo Lounge?

  • Hey Locust:

    I have quick two questions about the update.

    As for the new personal space, are the rewards available for visitors/guests or just for owner?
    And will there be any free Halloween rewards tomorrow when we go the the Plaza?

    Thanks!
    Shinra

  • Is there a way to tell Granzella Inc that their Southern Island Hideaway is a total Fail, firstable a lot of people hate it or dont like that place entirely, i invite any of you to go there and see how much it LAGS, just to say a complete sentence like, hello, how are you ? takes about 2 to 3 mins to pop on screen, this place needs to be remove from the Home list and be redone , it needs serious improvements, if they were pretending to make a better SEASIDE they failed, make this BEACH – SAND part a lot wider.
    As for the new Halloween stuff i hope i dont pay for them and dont get anything like last week, which i bought the Witch costume at 10 am and didnt get it til after 8 pm , and not until i got 4 new rewards and made the Witch costume to pop in Storage . Get rid of Public Places people dont visit anymore and improve the ones that people like , then maybe , there will be less lags among the public places and rewards.

  • Infamous event????? Scream 4 Costume?

    • No to both of these. We are getting the DoubleSix All Zombies Must Die heads though (and a few extra surprises – but you’ll have to log in tomorrow to find out what they are)!

  • @8 What u mean no! If u play d4 and saw the home space for it in japan, the space is base on hades base. It looks hot and i hope we get more NIS clothes for home too!

  • Get rid of public spaces?!?! stop spewing such filth Erika, how about we cut of one of your arms instead!

  • i’m not too much in a rush for the new hub. Home is already full of bugs and glitches, i rather they take their time and make sure the load times are fast as possible and that they rid the hub of as many bugs as possible.

    i mean i hope we get it before December, but i rather they make sure the Hub is playable and bug free.

    the outrage the would ensure if they bring the Hub out with slow load times, glitches and bugs.

    i’m looking forward to the Cutteridge Estate. i’m not much into parties, but other than that seems like a decent update this week in my opinion.

  • FOR…the rest of my life..hahah..Magnus..That was hilarious!!..Man,I am in the spirit now..A new haunted space you say?..WoOW..I will see you all in the plaza …MuAhhHhHhH,…

    TY Home team..You freakin rock!!!

  • Home is getting boring there isn’t anything to do anymore. They need to release the hub because the public spaces thatt they have have been around to long and are just played out. Also what must you do to get into closed beta I’ve spent 3000 dollars on home and nothing. I even have plus on my dream_eyes737 account and nothing

  • Best Halloween Ever in America Home! :D

  • Nice update. I hope I can get those halloween costumes and the awesome-but-creepy looking Cutteridge Estate. Thanks again.

  • Cool…!!!!

  • Are you ever going to make a Personal space that friends can change clothes without leaving ? The clubhouse has that feauture, whats stopping you from making a personal space with the same feauture as the Clubhouse ?
    Im with Erickafollie about the Southern Island Hideaway , it lags a lot and when you try to leave , you freeze, therefore you have to Restart the PS3 and it sucks .
    I remember SWAG_SKOOL_101 talking about a Private section (V.I.P) for us big spenders, where not just anybody has access to it , i say if you have spent $ 750.00 dollars and up , you get a V.I.P PASS to this exclusive area, that way us the Adults , wont have to deal with kids being annoying and trying to recruit us for their pointless Families, among other things , like the lack of communication skills or knowledge about whats going on in the world, we need this V.I.P section for the adults right away .

  • Everything looks great! Thank you Home team ;) It’s really good to see that you guys really do listen to Home community. Not only delivering a Halloween event, but also a haunted house personal space just in time for the holiday! Looking forward to this week’s update =)

  • @ stevev363 YES get rid of public spaces people dont visit or hardly visit anymore, or are you gonna tell me you go to any of these places every single day BUZZ :HQ public space , Backstage with Guitar Hero , Hot Shots Golf , iNFamous abandoned docks , Magic : The Gathering , Namco Arcade Center ,Namco Theater ,PixelJunk Exhibition , Resistance station ,and these are just to name a few . Unlike you , i go to many of these places on regular bases and i always see 2 to 3 people the most, at any given time . that way in place of all these old places we get new ones with less bugs and more feautures to enjoy .
    And next time , Dont make a threat , unlike you , i wasnt raise by thugs or violent people , Get Help .

  • WOW…awsome stuff,alot of halloween gear love it,cant wait to play in this stuff,thank you!…gunna be an epic halloween in home this yr,WOOT!..

  • I also agree with ericka & Ra_the_sun_king! I have been complaining about the southern island since it came out. I even spent money on a jet ski. I wont go there anymore & mayb they should do away with sum of these older unused places on home & fix popular newer places. But sum times I wonder y I bother complaining. It gets me No where. Just same **** different day!! But I enjoy home & love this weeks update! I just love halloween!!! I will always b a kid at heart but @22, you got the right idea 4 sure! I have spent thousands on home between myself & bf & my 2 kids!! A V.I.P Room for adults that have spent large amounts of money is a wonderful idea.
    As far as the hub, I have a really good feeling about it. I almost think that due to the lack of attention that sum of these spaces require but dont recieve is due to the Hub. Sony has everyone working on the hub so why bother to fix the old when your creating something new.. I can understand that I really can but I just wish that someone would take it off the explore menu. We cant enjoy it or explore it, so why is it there?

    Good job to the Home team management on this weeks update & special events! I cant wait to spend another 20 bucks this week! Thanks guys!

  • Very Spooktacular Awesome update, I’m looking forward to everything featured in this one :D
    Just one other thing I wanna know about…
    – Is that Theater 10 Reward bug going to be fixed in this update? and are you going to have to
    reintroduce the coat?

    Thanks for the update L_S & PSHome Team
    Happy Halloween!

    -Cage

  • YAY! You guys got me into the Halloween spirit!

  • I love the Home commercials there funny and offer prices that are affordable. I will check out Home this later week . I am waiting for any NISA costumes or spaces to come to the US. At least I want a Prinny Costume to come all we have are the Prinnies for our spaces and T-Shirts for Disgaea and Prinny and the Evil Academy but, no costumes. That’s what I want the most.

  • Locust? The one Picture shows the Frankenstein Costume? Is USA Home Getting that Costume now?

    I been waiting years now for that one. Say were getting it tomarrow?

    Why is it not mentioned in the Blog Details? But shown in that Picture?

    Let us know whats the deal with that Frankenstein?

    By: DCS

    • Frankenstein costume will be available tomorrow. The Jack-O-Lantern is the reward that will be found in the Community Theater.

  • And it says goto the Community Theater to get a NEW Reward Tomarrow? So did they fix this Theater now?

    I hope they REMOVED all past Rewwards here and added the NEW Reward ONLY so we do indeed get the NEW Reward and not that BUG again!

    Let us know?

    By: DCS

  • Thank you for answering my questions Locust!!!

  • What home needs is improvement of the existing areas so they at least work. There have been many buggy places. More importantly home needs better security against lunatics like stevev. I mean his “commantary” can best be described as absurd. Complaining about massive lag isn’t “spewing filth” and threatening to cut someones arms off isn’t tolerable in the real world or online period. In fact doing so in real would result in a less than friendly visit from the local police.

  • Locust_Star please answer this question!!!! Why hasnt there been any MK costumes in Home????

  • I saw Europe is getting a Scre4m official movie costume for avitars. Is that the ghostface costume shown in the tombstone chair photo? If so, are we gonna get it in NA? If not, why? The Scream franchise is still a pretty huge seller in the U.S.

    Pleeeeeeeeeeease?! I really want it!!

  • YESSS!! I’ve been anticipating what would come for this Halloween. Definitely gonna be running around Home tomorrow. Although I missed the last Lockwood Showcase items due to traffic and freezing on a daily basis, I’m determined to get in there for this event. As far as the personal space goes, that’s a crazy-awesome-lookin’ place! Can’t wait for tommorow and Monday when the costume party will be held. You guys rock!

    Also, Locust, I have just one question:
    By now, most of us who have been using Home for quite awhile have tons beyond tons of items in our wardrobe and inventory for personal spaces. For the items we really don’t want to keep, is there any plans on giving us the option to just delete them completely? I mean, I know that’s why we have the storage section (at least, that’s what I use it for.). Anyway, if you could answer this question, I’d greatly appreciate it. :)

    That aside, I’m really diggin’ this update! Keep up the good work, guys! :)

  • @Locust for the lockwood showcase is it going to change for the rewards like for the last 5 rewards there

  • the look of the lockwood showcase space

  • Wait..Ps Home in Europe is getting a real scream outfit?…How in the world do we always lose out on stuff like that? That’s pretty depressing Locust..Really man.

  • Yeah, a bit misleading to show the Scream (ghostface) outfit if we are not actually getting it… 8/
    Well…… I was excited….

  • Nice

  • WE DON’T GET THE SCREAM OUTFIT…WTH…AND EU..GETTING IT I C…FROM THEIR BLOG..WHATS GOING ON WITH U S HOME….???????????????????/ REALLY…WE LIKE GETTING COOL STUFF TOO…DAM….NOT COOL U S HOME MANAGERS..!!!!!!!.

  • Please someone reply to me. I am a happy Sony costumer since the good ol PS1 and bought all consoles first day. But I really Need some In Flames music for my Rock Band Collection. It Fits the Halloween theme perfectly. Swedish Death Metal. And a song like Zombie Inc.? Kinda sounds like its more zombie goodness. And any news on Dead Island Add on? My Plat is looking lonely without my 100 percent.

  • P.S. YES IM A WATERMELON

  • P.S.S. ANYONE WITH ROCK BAND 2 OR 3 ADD ME IM REALLY GOOD. Through The Fire And Flames Expert Hyper Speed Guitar? Done. Yes. A Watermelon went through the fire and flames.

  • I agree completely. Please add some In Flames. IN FLAMES WE TRUST. PLEASE.

  • I need In Flames on Rock Band. I would pay five dollars for every song they had. IT IS AN AMAZING BAND. Please dont ignore this like most things. Love your costumers. In Flames we Trust Sweden.
