Lockwood – Dream Hideaway, Iron Fusion Wraiths + Screen Sirens

Dream Hideaway

The latest addition to the Gift Machine is something special. The Dream Hideaway incorporates all the high quality fixtures and fittings you’ve come to expect from a Dream apartment, but in a rather different setting. Sequestered in a tranquil, twilit forest, the Hideaway’s sleek interior and peaceful exterior provides your friends the perfect location for rest and relaxation.

14 hidden rewards provides them with everything they need to furnish this halcyon bolthole, from an avante-garde egg chair to a futuristic fridge.

Iron Fusion Wraiths

Request assistance from all IFL Mech Units for deciphering radio recordings previously dismissed as static, now believed to be extraterrestrial declarations of aggression. High Alert Status granted. Move to Severe Alert Status pending. Wraiths have been unleashed in PlayStation Home!

The Screen Siren

She’s got the va-va-voom curves and is just as happy draped across a piano singing her heart out as she is basking in the light of paparazzi camera flashes. Now you can steal her style with the Screen Siren dress and hairstyle from Lockwood.

The daring cut of the dress and tantalising sweep of the hair are not for shy wallflowers. Be ready to be the centre of attention.

Everyone wants a jetpack to fly around wherever they want, right? nDreams are bringing you two styles of jetpack in their Bladestream Corp Range.

  • OMG! Those poncho outfits are a must.

    Are they available atm?

  • O-two said they were releasing peakvox labs today on Twitter…are they still coming today? I hope they aren’t being delayed..I am prepared to spend a fortune on the labs O_O

  • This update is looking nice.! The New features are a Plus (^_-) Wink.!

    a 11 out of 10. THE FAZEONES LOUNGE.!

  • Is there someone I could E-Mail about a question I have regarding playstation home?

    It has to do with a very important issue involving the community directly, however I feel it would be more appropriately addressed privately.

    Any response that points me in the right direction is very much appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • Why no mention of the 1.75 or the fact that home is down for maintenance right now?

    • The Home 1.75 platform update and the weekly content update together takes longer than the usual. We expect Home to be fully online again today very shortly.

  • I got a message about Home updating to v. 1.75. The description was in English but the pictures were in some other language. Now that i see this update, I’m guessing we’re not getting it? Cause I literally got extremely excited to play Home later on. All of the great features that were listed. Can you follow up on that at all, Cade?

    • No worries—Home 1.75 is going to arrive today and I expect everything to be online and ready for your enjoyment soon.

  • Love the update But did not see anything about the Home Update 1.75? Still in the works or is it going to be an surprise update. Also Will we be getting any Cars to drive around in? I would love to be able to drive around in a car, i liked the motorcycle but a car would be epic :). One more question/ suggestion, i know we have gold fish but can we have a Cat/ Dog we have to care for as well :D Now that Will win me over in a second hahaha. Thanks And Great. Awesome, Spectacular Update!!!!!!!!!

  • The heteronormativity is strong in the VIS video showing the boyfriend/girlfriend companions. :P Though I don’t think companions are gender-linked anyway. They better not be!

    Also, the one night I’m actually fired up to come Home again rather than play Skyrim, and it goes down an hour early (effectively) and stays down for maintenance seemingly longer than usual. ¬_¬ Any word on when it’ll be available?

  • @5 That’s why its down.

    The 1.75 update was announced weeks ago, originally was to come out Jan 30,2013. But was delayed due to issues and it should be out today (Feb 13, 2013)

  • @9 yes I am very aware of these things, this is not what I was asking nor was I asking you.

    I’m asking Cade why, in this blog post, was there no mention of 1.75 update coming out today. Is it because there is going to be a seperate blog post in regards to the update? Are they just assuming people will check the forums for more info on the 1.75 update as it becomes available?

    Why get everyone interested in todays content update, but fail to mention home is down for maintenance right now? Just weird to post this now instead of after home is back up.

  • as always I look forward to the updates on home I was laughing so hard at the fact for valentines day home now has A.I. boyfriend/girlfriends now

  • How do you legally get away with ripping off other peoples intellectual property, the pulp fiction dances, Jessica Rabbit up there and a lot of other items in home, like the unicycle that was developed by a fellow Canadian? Do you pay any royalties for stealing peoples hard work or do you just do that, steal it, without thought? Really some of the things you guys do are just down right ILLEGAL.

  • 1.75 is delayed as well and as usual, no mention of it.

  • btw how much for atomic republic companions ? cool I’ve already dl the 1.75 update just waiting for home re open

  • Will Home be back online before Valentine’s Day has ended? So far, there has been no evidence nor word to suggest that it will be. Even a “no” is better than utter silence.

    At least before this, we still had 1.7 available.

  • LMAO hi here’s an update for Home but guess what, YOU can’t log in…FAIL

  • ok here is a song recomendation for the flash mob. have you heard ‘Marvin and Chardonnay’? that’s from Big Sean & Kanye West.

  • the 1,75 can be downloaded right now. If you want to learn about it, go to http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-Home/INFO-Home-1-75-Patch-Notes/m-p/39367397 and read up.

    Today’s update has been previously described as being very big. Thus it’s taking longer than usual.

  • WOW any one know how may days we will be down this time or as all ways gess lol

  • Those ponchos are great!

  • Thank you Cade for the update. Appreciated

    • You’re welcome. It’s certainly a busy day in PlayStation Home, and I’m here, monitoring everything while keeping information flowing to you as I get it.

      Home is now open and online. Enjoy!

  • one thing i would love to see happen . let us be able to block pm,s from nonfriends, i think that would make life in home so much better!!!! and stop a lot of problems. AND MAIN THING STOP THE PERVERTS DEAD IN THEIR TRACKS! i think every gril in home would be very happy to see sony finaly take positve steps to stop all the sexul hrassment. and yes ignor is great but after pm sent it just realy to late. i realy hope some one will take a real steps to change one of the biggest problems in home that cases so many fights and reports being sent in every5 sec,s . all we can hope for positive change.

  • win is PSH going be up

  • Looking forward to signing in on Home to experience all this great content and update soon!
    Thank you for all the dedication and work put on Home.

  • hi cade i would like to know everything about this up date 1.75 & how it help’s all us out in ps home so can you tell me what it dose in ps home to help out all us home user’s & what affects it has for the future of home it self because this up date 1.75 was held back OK thank you cade

  • Home should be up now, I was able to sign in…thanks peoples

  • Great Update, Love the Peruvian Ponchos .
    I have a question, Does Magnus ever change clothes ? im just wondering thats all …………LOL
    anyways, waiting anxiously for Home to Open .
    Thank you Home Manager .

    • Hmmmm, I think he has a couple times, but he’s obviously partial to his Diamond Suit. He loves bling like no one else.

  • It’s up now! And looks like no more typing lockdown after accessing the Wardrobe. For that alone, this is a big win!

    Largely counterbalanced by the “neener neener, you don’t have PS Plus” crap, though. Such things only breed resentment. I don’t spend money on such things, where I might have otherwise.

  • Wow Cade, did you really just call the new Lockwood Dream Hideaway a “halcyon bolthole”? You should watch your language – we are censored on Home for saying such things. LOL. On a more serious note, I wish your crew and all the users of Home much success with the new 1.75 update.

    • LOL! “Halcyon bolthole” might sound naughty, I suppose, but it really means a peaceful and idyllic place to retreat—a personal sanctuary, of sorts.

      Thanks! So far, the launch seems to be going smoothly and people are enjoying it quite a bit. I hope you will join in the fun when you get a chance.

  • Great, im trying to look at all the new items using Navigator and it says Download Failed and it just gave me an M10 error code , after trying 3 times to get into Home , its not working .

  • Awesome update even for Plus members, I love all the stuff coming out these days.
    I just wondering if u can answer me a question Cade.
    Will PSHome still being avaliable in the future on next-gen?

  • I’ve had that same issue, so I used my fat ps3.
    Still having some problems? Cuz I’m in on my fat, hehe.
    Having tremendous difficulty doing anything with the 60Gb fat, lack of RAM maybe?
    The PS4 Needs at least 2Gb of Ram just for the online portion of it and needs 8Gb minimum DDR3/DDR4, whatever is compatible.

    Would also suggest going for Intel core processor since they last longer and often offer more stability.
    Graphics are less generic too.

  • I downloaded infamous2 and I was wondering if I could buy the festival of blood downloadable content

  • quick question to Glasswall what happen to the valentine day quest that was suppose to be on the activiy broad today

  • @35 No idea. YourPSHome.net might have something.

    @34 Infamous 2 doesn’t come with dlc as I recall and I did download it over Plus awhile back.

    @33 Maybe. What is your PS Home cache set to? 3GB is the default, while 12GB is the max.

    @32 Maybe. It might be cross compatible with ps4 & ps3.

  • Looks like someone forgot the other half of the bold tag LOL

  • wheres the valentines day quest its not in any of the activity boards

  • Very awesome thanks Sony!

    So, now that my system saves are obsolete I assume they can be deleted, but how does that affect the cache size option now? Does it make a difference whether its 3 gig or 12 gig? Is there a post somewhere that discusses this? I read the patch release notes discussing the features but it didn’t have any info that would answer my question. Also thanks for the new plus perks they rock.

  • Lucky fountain is glitchy for me. I got the pop-up that I won the reward, but not the new item notification, and the bra doesn’t show as awarded in the info booth.
