PSN Home blowout!

Happy holidays Home-people!
We here on the PlayStation Home
team are pleased to announce that we are kicking off the holiday season
in a big way come this Thursday, December 10th. We have quite a few
surprises lined up for you, and I don’t want to give away too much too
soon, but it’s safe to say that this year’s festivities will run for
the remainder of the month and will include some very surprising
developments.
That is, of course, assuming the entire community works together to
solve the puzzles (and collect the rewards) associated with the huge
Festive Tree, coming to Central Plaza
this week. Peep the picture below (smuggled out of the developers’
offices by yours truly) for a sneak peek of what’s in store for you.
And make sure you log in every day throughout the holiday season to
solve puzzles, unlock rewards, and help transform PlayStation Home into the premier party destination for the New Year.


In other holiday-related news: We are releasing a ton of additional
festive items that will help you celebrate the holidays properly in
PlayStation Home, no matter what your personal style may be. Included
in this new batch of items is a free menorah, for all of our community
members that want to celebrate Chanukah in-world (free items for those
of you who want to celebrate Christmas, Xmas, Kwanzaa, and even that
holiday “for the rest of us” are currently available in the Mall).
You’ll also find the Dead Space 2
Miner outfit (for guys and gals) in the Costumes store, along with a
heap of other costumes bundled at prices that simply can’t be beat.
MotorStorm fanatics will find yet another addition to their collection awaiting them in the Estates store this week. The MotorStorm: Pacific Rift
personal space is a perfect retreat for you and your friends after a
day (or night) or racing around the 16 destructible tracks that make up
the off-road mayhem of MotorStorm: Pacific Rift.
Show the world that you are a true road warrior by customizing this
unique beachfront locale with the MotorStorm-themed virtual items
available in the Furniture store, and then invite your friends over to
launch into multiplayer matches of MotorStorm: Pacific Rift. Check out
this hot new personal space in the pics below.


This Friday, December 11th, we will be throwing a scavenger hunt event to celebrate the release of Hudson Entertainment’s Diner Dash.
Those of you that log in between the hours of 12:00pm and 5:00pm PST
(3:00pm and 8:00pm EST) will find segments of a voucher code scattered
throughout PlayStation Home. The first 50 users that assemble and
redeem the code will receive one free download of Diner Dash on the PlayStation Network.
So if you’re reading this now, it’s time you get into PlayStation Home
and start searching high and low. These codes are guaranteed to go fast!
Last but certainly not least, our development team has managed to
resolve the Z(7,-104) error that a small number of users had been
encountering when logging in to PlayStation Home. In order to resolve
this problem we will be rolling back the last reward item received on
all affected accounts. This will fix will be deployed during this
week’s regularly scheduled downtime (please note that due to the extra
work required this week, the maintenance period will be extended).
Once this rollback is complete, users previously affected will once
again be able to log into PlayStation Home with all of their other
rewards and items intact. Of those previously affected, a very small
number of users may find that their rewards have been rolled back
further than the previous item in order to permanently fix this issue.
This was done on a case-by-case basis, to ensure that all of you could
get back into Home.
As always, stay tuned to this blog for more info about the season’s
upcoming content and events (including another chance to win the UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves Fortune Hunter Edition.
There’s so much cool stuff set to release over the coming weeks and
months that we are sure you will keep coming Home time and time again.
