PlayStation Home Launches Dec. 11, In-game Advertising Includes Clothes and Furniture
by Chris Faylor, Dec 10, 2008 7:38am PSTAfter more than a year and a half of closed public beta testing, Sony has announced that it is finally ready to open the floodgates and launch PlayStation Home tomorrow.
Available as a free download from the online PlayStation Store, the long-promised PS3 social interaction software will be classified as "open beta."
The announcement also detailed a number of "respected lifestyle brands" that will appear within Home, including Diesel clothing, Ligne Roset furniture, a Red Bull-specific mini-game, and video from Paramount, Hexust TV, and Eurogamer.
Prices on in-game Diesel clothing will range from free to 1.50 euro (roughly $2).
Though it will be available "around the world," Sony cautioned that "PlayStation Home will not be available in some regions." No further details were provided on the subject.

do people live in the apartments across the way? do the lights in the windows actually represent someone else playing Home with the lights on in their place? or does everyone in the game have a rooftop penthouse with a deck and the rest of it is just bullshit? can you look over the edge of the balcony and see people walking the streets?

The stuff I checked out in the beta: bowling, pool, arcade machines, chess, night club area, movie area, buying stuff for apartment, and fucking around with friends.
All in all, pretty damn cool for free, and much better than xbox/wii's free offerings. It's the kinda thing you just toy with once in a while when its updated and that's about it though
