Beginning on Thursday, January 27th the American Central Plaza will be transformed into the last remaining ISA stronghold when Killzone 3 Invades PlayStation Home. Join the remaining members of the ISA as they defend Home against the relentless Helghast assault. European combatants can join the battle by visiting the ISA dropship in Home Square to be transported to the Central Plaza.
The Central Plaza Defender is a first-person shooter that pits you against wave after wave of Helghast forces. Fire at the approaching enemy forces to shoot down Helghast air units, infantry units, and dropships. Alternatively, assist gunners by collecting and delivering ammunition and first aid. Complete challenges to be granted exclusive PlayStation Home rewards. Furthermore, completing all three levels will grant you three Unlock Points, which can be redeemed for new weapons and abilities in Killzone 3 multiplayer.
The enemy is well-armed, resilient, and fuelled by Visari’s martyrdom. Your success will require both a strong sustained offensive and support from your unit. Be sure to log in to PlayStation Home this Thursday to play this exclusive game and assist in the defence of Home from the Helghast invasion forces.
Please note that all recruits must be 18 years or older.

you guys should really try get the core update team to allow people to see were your m8s are exactly in home similar to what playtv update has just done with allowing people to see what you are watching , e.g
joe bloggs
playstation home – in london pub playing darts something like that as it would really make it for more like a community feature
Posted on 25 January, 2011 at 2:57 pm by Alex Weekes
You can already see where your friends are in Home from the Navigator.

THIS is cool. I LOVE Home how it is, but more of this type of stuff would be fantastic – stuff that lets us unlock things for the full game. Brilliant job, Home team

Just to clear things up, EU users will get the US Plaza but only “Killzoned”.
Correct?
And nice job btw!
Posted on 25 January, 2011 at 2:58 pm by Alex Weekes
An EU-hosted “Killzoned” version of the Central Plaza. Correct

I LOVE how you guys are transforming the plaza for each event! It’s freaking sweet!

Posted on 25 January, 2011 at 9:25 am by Skookie30
who says about going to other region stores because of this event, you gotta be jokeing it won’t happen YET.
it‘s like asking me to go run up town naked that won’t happen
it‘s Sony Old 3/4 region system again to not allow EU Meet SCEE home folk can’t buy across all stores i loath the system.
here a other reason i loath it i had a message from a friend saying he got a EU version of LBP2 i got the UK version, he says he can’t join any UK PPL only EU.
Bravo Sony & MM you made a great game into a FAIL.

firstly, congrats! this is exactly the kind of promotion that home should be used for… I’d love to see more stuff like this in the future!
Secondly, where can I order the special edition of Killzone 3? it’s getting close to launch now and noone seems to have any idea on how to get the sexy collectors edition!

cant wait for this (kz3)it looks and plays awsome lucky enough to be part of the 10,000 beta users. i am upset though that the co op single player is not online which i think is a silly mistake the though of me and my mate playing and earning the trophys at the same time as finishing the game together now itll look all wrong half a screen each thats soooo 90′s guys come on sort it out. there saved hundreds of pounds of therapy thanks ps blog lol

Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 2:49 am by Stonesthrow

Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 4:22 am by p1nkm15t
Probably a silly question, but would it be possible to get timezones on dates?
This looks like it could be interesting. Got my ISA uniform all ready to go!!

Posted on 26 January, 2011 at 11:26 am by twistedintoform
i don’t have any part of home at all currently installed, so how much would i need to download/install in order to use this?.
32
Posted on 28 January, 2011 at 4:05 pm by Ante_SWE
The code i got when i did all the challenges does not work:( It says that it’s not valid.
33
Posted on 29 January, 2011 at 12:36 pm by Martyness
Same issue here, went to redeem the code and it says its not valid. From what I can find it seems to only be with us lot in the EU as USA gamers can redeem it no problems at all. Lets hope this gets fixed
34
Posted on 29 January, 2011 at 11:45 pm by RagingAvatar
I also just completed all the Killzone 3 Home challenges and was given a code to be redeemed in the XMB.. only to find that it claims it to be invalid.
Any idea where we can expect this to work guys?

Posted on 30 January, 2011 at 1:51 pm by DeboDaPro

37
Posted on 3 February, 2011 at 1:50 pm by Dylan-3850
Hello, I have some questions for the EU-version.
1. Will we be able to pre-order through home later on?
2. Will we be able to Redeem our codes because we can’t now it says “Invalid Code”.
Thx

Posted on 11 February, 2011 at 3:36 pm by Milesmile_
