[Live Free or Die]

Just saw this post on the PS Blog.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/06/05/take-a-virtual-tour-of-playstations-e3-booth-in-ps-home/

Basically if you go to their virtual E3 booth, and pre-register, attend events and complete some quests you get themes, PS+ trial and access to the Killzone: Mercenary Beta later this year.

Virtual PlayStation E3 Booth Opens for Pre-Registration

The biggest video game event of the year, E3, is almost upon us! Following tradition, we’ve taken the actual schematics of this year’s physical PlayStation booth and recreated it in PlayStation Home, right down to the finest details. Few are fortunate enough to attend the real event, but we love sharing the experience with all the PlayStation fans out there. This E3 is shaping up to be an extraordinary one — you don’t want to miss it.
Starting later today, everyone who pre-registers in our virtual E3 booth will earn exclusive rewards, including a Beyond: Two Souls PS3 theme. This is only available for those who pre-register this week!

 

[LQX]

Hmm, will re-download Home for the dynamic themes.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Same here. Looks like I have to redownload Home.

 

[SmokyDave]

Fuck! I have to redownload Home!

That Mercs beta is too good to pass up.

 

[Schobeleth]

Sweet, thanks for the tip!

 

[SniperHunter]

PS Home? lol

how big is the initial download? IS it worth it?

 

[Iacobellis]

Is this the ONLY way to get into the beta?

 

[BizzyBum]

clever way to get people to actually use that crap thing.

Can you believe it's labeled a beta still? lmao

 

[kick51]

Big push for Home at E3 for PS4 incoming!

...still not downloading it

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

Am i the only one surprised this hasnt been quietly killed yet?

 

[Live Free or Die]

PS Home? lol

how big is the initial download? IS it worth it?

I think its like 40MB or something like that. then you just download the places you want to visit.

Is this the ONLY way to get into the beta?

I dont think it is.

Am i the only one surprised this hasnt been quietly killed yet?

No, Home makes Sony LOTS of money.

 

[Franklinator]

Cool, I'll download Home for the first time then. I'm a sucker for cool themes.

 

[maltrain]

Rymdkapsel for free!!!

That's really cool. My PS Vita is happy.

 

[Shadow2222]

It is actually really cool, but I can never stay attached to it for some reason.

 

[zeopower6]

Getting Home right now! All these freebies are pretty awesome.

 

[Carl]

Some of these sound pretty good actually. E3 area is usually good fun

 

[Live Free or Die]

Yeah, I think this is a pretty neat idea.

 

[Var]

Wasn't interested untill I saw the Last of Us. Definitely going to do it now.

 

[aristotle]

Now to find a walkthrough for each of these since it'll be at least a 10 step process much like their past "mysteries" in Home; re: Xi or whatever that was a few years ago.

Spoiler

I'm lazy.

 

[Roto13]

Wonder if those PS+ trials are only for accounts that haven't had Plus before.

 

[Order]

Dammit now I need to go to Home.

 

[DMczaf]

Sony pushing Home again?

It's 2013, right?

 

[Guevara]

PS3 go home?

 

[TheRealTalker]

Sony pushing Home again?

It's 2013, right?

they do it every year at E3 :/... Also Killzone Mercenary beta!!! planning to buy a vita after E3 so I probably am going to try and get that

 

[Sylver]

Oh, I will need to install Home again for that beta.

 

[darkwing]

true

 

[Order]

...It's not up now is it :/

 

[sakipon]

Good point. I need to know this before I bother.

 

[Foshy]

Is this only for US or EU too?

 

[hurzelein]

Killzone and Rymdkapsel: interesting.

But what are these quests, how much time do they need?

 

[VanWinkle]

This is actually pretty interesting. I might have to boot up Home for the first time in probably two or three years.

 

[pelican]

excited for the PS4 Home!!

Spoiler

joke;p

 

[Pachimari]

I don't know where else to ask this, but am I the only one losing hope in seeing Home for PlayStation 4? =(

 

[waypoetic]

Would but i'm in europe.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Is this only for US or EU too?

Looks like US only so far. Here is the EU Home update http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2013...ate-the-kikai-machine-empire-event-continues/ If you have a US account you can login to US Home.

 

[giancarlo123x]

It's been years since I've clicked that home button on purpose, looks like I'm going back in.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Bravo Sony you have made the prospect of going into Home exciting. Should be doing a lot more of this.

If you'll excuse me I need to go reinstall Home.

 

[RelentlessRolento]

Killzone betas are the only betas I drop tons of time into... Unless you count Home

But yeah, worth it

 

[Agent White]

lol i just did this. i had no clue what i was doing in there. when the contents actually up i fear i may need a walkthrough just to get to it

 

[WickedLaharl]

I'm gonna need more incentive in order to suffer HOME

 

[StevePharma]

PLAYSTATION GO HOME.


Alright Sony I'll visit your house again to profit off of you again this year

 

[Live Free or Die]

I agree, they should do more stuff like this.

It's not like it used to be. Home has changed a lot over the years.

 

[SturokBGD]

These games will all be out in the time it would take me to update Home on my PS3.

 

[RelentlessRolento]

Didn't see the free PS Mobile games two I've been meaning to buy. Glad I held off

 

[Pachimari]

Looks like US only so far. Here is the EU Home update http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2013...ate-the-kikai-machine-empire-event-continues/ If you have a US account you can login to US Home.

So no E3 space for Europe?

 

[Live Free or Die]

So no E3 space for Europe?

They usually have an E3 space. I don't know why they havent mentioned anything so far.

 

[Overboost]

IMO the biggest news here is the free 30 days of PS+ just for completing a quest next week in the virtual E3 booth. You get a code even if you're a current PS+ subscriber. That means you get these five games for free, just for checking out Home:

• Deus Ex: Human Revolution (PS3)
• Machinarium (PS3)
• Saints Row: The Third (PS3)
• Gods Eater Burst (PSP, PS Vita Compatible)
• Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward (PS Vita)

That should get a hell of a lot of new people into Home next week.

 

[Wishmaster92]

That's pretty cool, hope to see more stuff like this.

Indeed.. those games -and- the games that are already a part of the IGC which adds up to quite a collection.
