PlayStation Home: The Chimera Invade PS Home To Celebrate The Launch Of Resistance 3

On Thursday 8th September from 8AM BST PlayStation Home will be briefly offline for scheduled maintenance. Here are some details on what to expect after the update.

The Chimeran invasion sweeps PS Home this week to celebrate the launch of Resistance 3. Step into the stark world of Resistance 3, dodge feral Chimera and the ever-present threat of the Chimeran death squads and scavenge everything you will need to survive. Available via What’s New on the XMB, the PlayStation Home Navigator and Home Square.

This week Lockwood Publishing is thrilled to present a variety of exciting new upgrades for your Velocity Racer. To start with, there’s the first in a series of 21st century flag designs for your Sodium2 craft – Union Jackson, Star Spangled and Hinomaru Racer. These are accompanied by complimentary designs in Sodium2 Track Gear and are available through the Sodium2 Garage and commerce point. If that wasn’t enough to whet your appetite, we’re also adding a powerful new type of Rocket Booster: the mighty Turbulence DX.

Medusa’s stylists always have their fingers on the fashion pulse and after a few weeks carefully honing their scissor skills, they’re now ready to present their latest looks to the world!

Guys, if there’s a punk inside of you, just waiting to get out, but you’re worried a full-fledged Mohawk would ruin your good looks, ask for the Neo Punk – an edgy style with a modern twist. More traditional fellows should opt for the Thomas, a mid-length, smooth style for the sophisticated gent.

Female patrons also have the choice of an edgier or softer look. Girls with attitude should go for the Biker Maiden – this long look even includes a bandana with a skull or a floral pattern. Girly girls can ask their stylist for The Lizzie, cute bunches with a choice of ribbon colours. Can’t decide on your ribbons or bandana? The ladies styles come in a value pack so you don’t have to choose!

Head down to the salon and let the stylists work their magic.
