‘Tis the month to be trick or treated, and Lockwood’s getting a head start this week releasing a range of new Halloween items. Those looking for their Halloween costume should drop into the Lockwood store and check out the two variations of skeleton suit. Choose from the Eerie Bones suit or the Glow Bones suit, depending on your taste. Also available from Lockwood this week is the perfect item to cook up something special: The Cauldron of the Sunless Kingdom. Mix ingredients to create special effects, and with the right mix the Cauldron may reward you.
For the Street Fighter 4 fans who have been waiting patiently for the alternate costumes, we have good news today. The alternate costumes will release tomorrow, completing the collection of Street Fighter 4 content for Europe. (Note: Abel alternate will not be released for technical reasons.)
Looking for something a bit different? Alter Ego will be taking delivery of a new range of costumes and outfits. Those who yearn for the 8-bit halcyon days of gaming should check out the new 8-bit costumes (2 male, 1 female). Also available are the Pencil Sketch body suits for both genders, Goth costume for males, and Club Chic bodysuit.
Finally, keep an eye out in coming weeks for further news of tricks and treats as we build up for Halloween! (Hey MusterBuster, can I borrow your pumpkin?)

Wow, lots of snark here. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that YOU DELAYED GT5.
Posted on 13 October, 2010 at 6:27 pm by Alex Weekes
It wasn’t me!
I’m looking forward to GT5 as well, so understand the frustration!

yet more virtual overpriced tat i see, when are we gonna see some features that are long overdue that was some 6 months for those pictures frames update whats that been now nearly 1 year since you said that alex lmao. home is gonna be a distant memory soon enough
Posted on 13 October, 2010 at 6:31 pm by Alex Weekes
I said *at least* 6 months. Unfortunately we’re still waiting on some essential updates. Once those updates are available we’ll re-evaluate. In the interim there have been a lot of preset picture frames released covering a range of content, so there’s a lot of options for hanging things on your walls.

Hello Alex, any news on the Paris apartment and the other apartment that the US got the other week
Thanks
Posted on 13 October, 2010 at 6:33 pm by Alex Weekes
I’ve not got any time frames at the moment. Paris apartment is being worked on, however resource to localise all of the content that ios associated with the space is limited and it’s taking a bit of time.

Ah, Playstation Home. Anyone remember way back when it was going to be a 3d avatar world that you could form parties with your friends and launch any game from?
If I wanted to dress like a tit and hand around with lots of other anti-socialites dressed like tits I’d play World Of Warcraft. At least I could go and kill boars and wolves when I was bored.
Please add a ‘Ray Mears Murders Wildlife’ area to home.
*goes back to playing WoW*

I’m in the middle of putting together a little 5 minute video piece about Home. I’ll only be featuring 2 spaces. Do I need permission to publish it to a website. Get in touch if I do.

Why not bury this beta home abomination and start using the resources to some more useful stuff like cross game chat.

3. and finally the game time crisis razing storm are unlocked reward when he arrives?
Posted on 14 October, 2010 at 10:09 am by Alex Weekes
1. No set date yet.
2. These are planned for SCEE as well.
3. I’ve not heard anything, but I often don’t until the last few days.
Posted on 15 October, 2010 at 10:24 am by Alex Weekes
Update on number 3: there will be unlockable Home reward items.

Oh my dear Sony, you still have not realized what a waste this Home thing is. I giggle every time I see a Home update; I wonder who actually visits Home regularly. I deleted it from my hdd a long time ago. By now it is pretty clear this thing has not succeeded and it would be better to focus your efforts on something more useful like for example cloud saved games, a better XMB UI, better message and voice communication, you know, the things the system really needs. I have been a PlayStation customer for more than 10 years, but you are slowly losing me. I hope you will turn this boat around. Best regards.

More lies from sony?
We all know sony stands for nothing but lies.

33
Posted on 14 October, 2010 at 9:44 am by mitran
@31 I was like you sony where slowly loosing me, but now the finalal nail in the coffin will come. GT5 wont release 2010 mark my word it wll perhaps release christmas 2011 if that, but i will no longer support sony’s lies.

Oh no Alex, you’ve gone and picqued my interest viz. those new 8 bit and pencil costumes, tho a walking talking pencil would foot the bill very nicely…yes…as for Hallowe’en, well we in the EU & the occidental lands do not celebrate the thing. The first celebration was probably curtailed as ‘popish nonsense’ during the reformation, and the latter silly horror festival juxtaposed with children knocking on doors asking for lollies has become politically incorrect, well the idea of its being done here is anyway thank Kratos. But um are those skulls seperatable, they might look good with a tutu on? Glad to hear Paris is coming along. I want that Classical carpet. peace…
