"Home will live or die on the strength of its content." It was good to hear these words coming from Daniel Hill, Sony Europe's Director of Home, at a media day event in London.

---------------------------------------------------
I'm just going to give a rundown of the content mentioned:

  • Motorstorm apartment, based on the PR island, with a view to the festival. Will probably be distributed in a contest or event.
  • PSP-3000 treasure hunt in the event room
  • "Design your own T-shirt" which will be set for sale in the Home space.
  • "Motorstorm VIP" event, with interaction from the developers
  • Red Bull area, mini game where you fly the Red Bull plane through rings to gain points, and place yourself on the leaderboard
  • Buzz! area, with a minigame called "Buzz! Runaround" where people have to run around on the buttons of a giant Buzz! controller to answer questions and rack up points for the leaderboard
  • Motorstorm area concept shown. Will have mini game called "MotorKartStorm" and merchandise counters for buying Motorstorm branded clothing
  • Resistance 2 area concept shown, should look something like the Main Plaza, but invaded by the chimera. Might contain a team based mini game, where you will fight off chimera.
  • Content partners that were confirmed include Sega, Activision, Midway, Atari, Eidos, Ubisoft, EA Sports, Diesel and Audi
  • Trophy room is alive, but on hold at the moment. Will come in the future.
  • Home will read what trophies you have and unlock stuff in Home accordingly
  • Home will have its own trophies, though it is unknown exactly how that will work
  • Future games will have the option of giving you a message after you aquired a trophy, of what that trophy unlocked in Home
  • Greater PS Store integration is being worked, as an example: Approaching a poster for a game in Home, and being able to download the demo of the game from the poster alone
  • Cross-game invites will happen through Home, and will be made available in the future
  • Bigger clubs, cross-Home game invites and extended profiles are being worked on already
  • New updates "fairly regularly".

-----------------------------------------

Okay, this has got me really excited actually! Home might just turn out to be something I would spend time in after all (I want that Motorstorm appartment SO BADLY!)

EDIT: God damn it, I made an error in the name of the topic -_- oh well...
