Entertainment=Gaming


PS3 Home

I saw this game the other day on Youtube and it was fun.This game is like the Sims,But this game can go online and meet other Sims.But in PS Home they don't call the character we're using a Sim,They called it an avatar.(I'm just using The Sims as a reference)

It is available directly from the Playstation 3 XrossMediaBar.The membership is free and only requires a PSN account.But the best thing of this game is of it high graphic detail.Furthermore,we can design our own avatar according to our own liking.User can decorate their own personal apartment with default,bought or won items.

Your room:

We can also travel to many kind of public places that you can go in PS Home.

The Central Plaza:
This is where avatars usually start then chat and hang out before they go to other places.The Central Plaza in some places is not the same.Maybe the one in Japan and Asia is not the same in the picture above.This one maybe in North America.

Movie Theater:

This is a virtual cinema where viewers can see latest movie trailer movie,films, and even full length TV shows.Videos are displayed in the 3D environment on virtual video screens which can be viewed full screen.Users can go into the cinema and take a seat.The dynamic video content is reduced to standard definition to reduce loading time.The Asian and Japan Home Theater have two lobbies and 4 cinemas.While the European and North American have 4 lobbies and 10 cinemas.North Americas also features a shop where users can buy movie related items such movie T-shirt and few others.In Japan theater from time to time, has a kiosk of a sort set up for events that are occurring.

Bowling Alley




This is the place for those who wants to play bowling with their online friends.This place also got a variety of arcade games.Prizes are awarded for those who beat the arcade machine games.There are many types of arcade games such as Pac-Man,Dig Dug,Galaga,Dragon Spirit and many more.

The Shopping Centre
It is called the Mall at North America.The Shopping Mall at Japan and Asia.This where all purchases made.You can purchase clothes for our avatar or furniture for our room.Purchases can be made by using Playstation Network Wallet fund. Similar purchasing at the Playstation Store.There is also Diesel clothes and Lignet Rose furniture sold here.


The Gamer's Lounge or The Home Cafe

This where users meet up and chat.This place has a water feature,a wine gallery and chairs.Which is slowly becoming an event space for developers talks and parties.

Communication

How do we communicate in PS Home? Easy.We can chat by on screen keyboard using you PS 3 joystick or we can make calls to specific person.But now I saw that Sony is also selling the PS3 wireless keyboards.

That is all from me.Please leave a comment.
