For just $4.99 you can live like a celebrity in a two-story mansion perched atop the Hollywood Hills. Invite up to 11 friends at a time into one of your two home theaters and watch clips from some of your favorite movies, trailers, Minisodes and exclusive content from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Sony Pictures Releasing and Crackle. Throw a party by the sprawling infinity pool, lounge in the Jacuzzi, and take in the million-dollar views – all in the Hollywood Hills House, available this Thursday from the Estates Store in PlayStation Home.

Music lovers rejoice! This Thursday the London Pub Radio (LPR) takes to the airwaves – a free update to all London Pub owners. Every month LPR will be pumping tunes courtesy of a hand-selected group of featured artists into a radio placed in the London Pub personal space (first up from LPR are four tracks from RedderStare – an up and coming four-piece band from London, UK).

That’s not all – LPR is also launching a website where independent musicians from our community will be able to submit original music for a chance to have their tracks broadcast into London Pubs all around PlayStation Home. Head to www.veemee.com/thelondonpub/radio to upload tracks and learn more about this exciting new program!

  • We got some Video on home!!!!!!!!!

  • the new hollywood personal space looks kool. you should post a video tour of the property so buyers have a better idea of what the house is like. :)

  • i am curious what the TV’s will actually play and what is the selection they will have to play and where it comes from. is it just adds or vids off the psn store like for games.

  • Can Sony stream a Sony movie every week for free in the space?

  • Wow! Exciting times. I’m glad it’s finally here!

  • my locoroco island has a tv

  • While it`s cool to see working TVs in personal spaces, it`s useless to me. I can`t watch anything at the mall or theatre cos it buffers so much that all I get is an extremely slow slideshow instead of a vid, most of the time its just frozen saying its buffering. After buying a broken mummy costume I don`t want to spend $5 on a space with a theatre that won`t work either.

    Love VeeMee for adding more things to their cool London Pub Space, and I`m really excited about their new LPR. I love the UK, even though I`m Canadian, and I`m glad I`ll get to listen to their music in my space. Besides the Alien costume from AVP, best $5 I spent on Home, and probably the last. I won`t buy anything above 1.99 anymore UNLESS it`s really cool, cos it`s just too much for a virtual item. LBP doesn`t even go above 1.99 unless its a big bundle pack, and those are usually $5.99. Compared to Home`s bundles which costs $15-$20…

  • ok , i like to come here to find out about updates but i get really sick of people whining , get an Xpox . Home rocks !

  • Awsome Apartment, makes me feel like a celeberty in there and I know I can’t watch hdd videos in that apartment. So when will we get a virtual tv to watch hdd videos from PS3 in our apartments?

  • WOULD LOVE FOR OUR OWN STUFF TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO !!!!!!

  • Why has home fallen so low. What happened to the features that we were told about. What’s with all the useless junk in home. When I’m looking for stuff I find nothing but junk. It’s halloween 24/7 on home. What happened to the shrink potion? Home is a failure don’t support it.

  • can u watch movies that u have in ur PS3? n if so what about Netflix?

  • im not sure where to post this but there is a furniture set ive seen a few times tht is realy nice but was takin outa the mall befor i join ps home an would realy like it if it became available again im refering to the villains lair furniture i would realy like to be able to get it plzz an thx for ur time

  • @57 Time to upgrade your internet speed aye? lol

  • @4

    It’s actually not the first time video was made available to be streamed in a personal space.

    The Batman Arkham Asylum personal space had streaming video trailers a year ago.

    Missed it by *that* much. :p

  • @Locust_Star yo it’s Doc! I love you like a fat kid loves Cake!!!!!

  • @46 “LordRaoh”

    maybe if u woulda read further you woulda saw that the $4.99 is the price they’re selling the new Personal Space for… Personal Spaces have ALWAYS cost $$$, idk why this is news to you… get with the program dude, and stop assuming stuff before u have the whole story

  • @Kanedas_Bike Yo its Speed duh You need to come to my new apartment and get Sony to allow podcasts in personal spaces… he he he Replay would be nice in TV with other friends.

    @Locust_Star You need to crack the whip on the Home Dev’s to work faster. Christmas is coming sooner than you can think and presents would be a good thing in Home.

    I am glad to see this step with streaming content into Personal Spaces now some form of multiple audio in public spaces needs to come out to.

  • A pool? Kadzuks are you crazy man? I can’t swim. If I could I’de break a hip or worse. And with this TV Fry and Bender will never do any work. Hermes get those papers ready!

  • NOTE: there is 1 and 1 reason only the virtual tv streams only sony advertising. Home is exclusively an advertising medium NOTHING else!! this is also the reason sony & lithium refuse to ban the obvious pedophiles or do anything that approaches proper moderation. More eyeballs on the adverts = more revenue for them, even when they know it means 90% of those eyes belong to stalkers & perverts.

  • Nice job on the update guys, I can’t wait to hear what people put up on LPR, in fact I’m in the middle of a track just for LPR right now :) And the new Hollywood space <3 it is so choice.
    BUT
    I want to play music LIVE from my music studio in my real house to the people in my clubhouse or personal spaces using ONLY Home.
    Using other internet services to BB my audio while we are all on Home is such a pain..
    Can't we just do this the easy way?

  • Hey, most people can ignore this comment, this is just for some of you who don’t understand the following terminology:
    1)Broadcast;2)Personal use;3)Ownership;4)Intellectual property;5)Distribution Rights;6)Copyright;7)ASCAP;8)Public presentation
    If any one of these 8 terms is unclear, or unfamiliar to you, I suggest you will improve your appreciation for Playstation Home by looking each one up.
    I love PS Home. Great job everyone! Stay cool! and from the bottom of my heart, Thank you!

  • I must say its really a good start to where this is going but there’s something still missing. the fact that you sit down in a seat and can not zoom into the screen is just unfair. Sony will you be able to fix that in the movie theater and also the new HHH apartment so I can sit and zoom in to the screen?

  • Hello Locust and Glasswalls, im very happy about the new personal space, specially the TV`s/ Home Theater, i am sooooo Hoping there is a way you can provide us a way to buy full length movies, i dont care if i have to pay 14.99 or more per movie, i want to be able to sit with my friends and watch an entire movie, not just trailers, i mean is nice but it gets tired FAST, give us a store where we can purchase movies i can watch in my Hollywood Hills Home Theaters…Pleaseeeeee

  • @Locust_Star

    I love the new hollywood hills apartment. The only thing I ask is that you integrate Crackle.com into it more. Let us access Crackle.com through the tv’s where we can select full length movies and episodes to watch with friends. That would be the greatest thing to have on home.

  • QUESTION

    About the London Pub update:

    Those advertisements for new items and clothing in the pub bathrooms, will we get those too? The tiger looks awesome.

    I`d like to see more animal costumes PLEASE. I`ve asked months ago…My fave costumes are still the cats and dogs you brought over from the EU Home.

  • at the HHH apartment the videos were working fine now i’m not able to view anything on the screens just gives me an error is there anyway of fixing that problem if this happens again?

  • Greetings friends.

    Is Grande to see video in a personal space. Would be Grander if the Sony Video Store rentals was available in this space…just think of it….have your very own Rocky Horror Picture Show in Home! Or Mystery Science Theater 3000!

    Another Grande suggestion…make one of the theaters actually play movies, on a schedule, like a real cinema. With tickets to buy, like the Midway, for admittance. The Glory of going to the movies on Home with your friends!

    Just my 2 Fluidic coins worth…

  • The idea of watching videos in a personal space with friends is awesome, but the problem is videos are always out of sync between Home users. There’s no sense of watching together (and commenting in real time) if you’re watching one part of the video and your friend is watching another. There should be a way to pre-cache and watch it in sync with another person, so that you can comment on the video in real time.

  • ”and catch an interview with the team behind Lair.”

    Makes me wish there was a trophy patch for that game =/

  • Should have a Netflix Streaming feature, sort of like the XBL Netflix Party. where you can stream netflix content with another person. ever since theyve added netflix to my Xbox in canada ive been having a great time watching netflix content with friends in america. and i would love to see this feature on PS3. be it home or just an updated feature in netflix itself. It would be really neat to see it in home though.
