Locust_Star has shared a video today and announced that the London Pub, Limited Assassin's Creed 2 & BioShock 2 Items, Zombieland and MAG events are all hitting PS Home this week.
To quote: This week plays host to yet another deluge of awesome content including an incredible new personal space, some seriously hot events, and super-limited items from some of the best games of 2010. Want to learn more? Then read on, my friends...
First up is http://www.veemee.com/thelondonpub/ personal space. This cozy watering hole is situated on the banks of the river Thames - not far from the Houses of Parliament - and is appropriately outfitted with a multi-player darts game that is sure to attract all the party animals on your friend's list.
Priced at $5.99 (less than a real-world round of beverages for your buddies), the London Pub has all the amenities to ensure that an appropriate party vibe flows freely at all time - from the humorous taps to the ever-kindling fireplace. Peep the pics below for a peek at this hot new personal space.
I don't know about you all, but my calendar has been cleared for quite some time for the release of the Assassin's Creed 2 "Battle of Forli" DLC, dropping this Thursday, January 28 on the PlayStation Network.
In fact, the only thing that has me more stoked than the prospect of seeing the Caterina Sforza storyline play out is the new Ezio costume (available for both your in-game character and AND your in-world avatar), which will be released in PlayStation Home in tandem with the DLC launch this week.
This super-limited costume will only be available for one month and then it will be pulled off the shelves forever. So check out the pics below and then head to the PlayStation Home Mall this Thursday to pick yours up before time runs out.
On that note, those of you that took advantage of the opportunity to pre-order BioShock 2 from http://www.amazon.com/Bioshock-2-Playstation-3/dp/B001NIP3EG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1264618418&sr=8-2 will be able to unlock the Big Daddy costume in PlayStation Home. So rad.
You all are going to be the envy of Central Plaza on February 9 when http://www.bioshock2game.com/ releases and we start playing the game like mad during our Featured Game parties.
Speaking of Featured Games: As you all know, the next level in multi-player shooters - MAG - released on Tuesday, exclusively on the PlayStation 3. And to celebrate this momentous occasion, we are devoting a ridiculous amount of our Featured Game nights in the near future to blasting away on the battlefields of the MAG universe.
In fact, this weekend - Friday the 29th through Sunday the 31st - we are inviting all of you MAG fanatics out the Central Plaza, between the hours of 6:00PM and 10:00PM PT (9:00PM and 1:00AM EST), to http://www.jointheshadowwar.com/- be it the SVER (Friday), Raven (Saturday) or Valor (Sunday) forces.
This is when you decide once and for all which side you are on. So get your butts into PlayStation Home, grab free MAG shirts that represent your soldier style from the Central Plaza, and then slam in a fresh clip and chamber a round, because this is going to be the battle to end all battles.
There's at least one event going on in PlayStation Home literally every day, 365 days a year. And some days there are two, like this Thursday, January 28 and Sunday, January 31, when we continue the on-going http://www.zombieland.com/ event in the PlayStation Home Theater.
The gist of it is this: There is an exclusive film clip from Zombieland playing in Theater #1. Watch the video, and then check out the trivia questions placed on the marquees, posters, and billboards throughout PlayStation Home. The first 25 community members that send an email to mailto:HomeContests@playstation.sony.com with the right answers to all 17 questions will win a copy of Zombieland on Blu-ray.
Be sure to read the official contest rules (linked above) for all of the juicy details.
Last but certainly not least, we'll be releasing a Gargoyle furniture bundle as well as Fantasy and Victorian clothing bundles to complement the Paris Clock Tower personal space.
These bundles contain multiple items grouped together at a greatly reduced price. See the below video for an overview of these awesome new items and then grab the bundles from the PlayStation Home Mall this week.
