PlayStation Home: TGS News And Kasabian Come To Home

On Thursday 15th 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 Tokyo Game Show will be hitting Home this Thursday, featuring footage from this year’s press conference and some free rewards for all who attend. The space will be available on the Navigator until the 29th September and we will be updating the videos within the space throughout that time so be sure to check back!

This coming Monday we will be launching a Kasabian event in PlayStation Home to celebrate the launch of their new album “Velociraptor!”, brought to you by Music Unlimited. Available via What’s New and Home Square the event features some digitally exclusive Kasabian performances and a Q&A session with our very own SCEE Home Community. Check out Music Unlimited under the Music menu on the XMB and sign up for the 30 day free trial to get access to a digitally exclusive Kasabian Live album from 19th -25th September. If enough people sign up to the free trial we’ll give the PlayStation Home community a free reward, check back at the space on 26th September to see if we made it!

Lockwood’s Iron Fusion have an update this week. Here’s what they have to say about it:

“Your galaxy needs you!

A few weeks ago, a bold Abyss Trooper unit were mapping an uncharted sector of space on behalf of Astra Corps. Several days into their mission, their communications with Astra Corps HQ ceased. No distress calls were placed, so Astra Corps remain hopeful that their team have merely strayed into a communications black spot.

The last unit sent to this particular sector also lost communication for several days, before returning to base ahead of schedule unharmed yet disoriented and with little memory of their experiences. Astra Corps are not ruling out the possibility of extra-terrestrial intervention and have therefore embarked upon a major recruitment drive.

Their hardy ground troops, the Solar Fusiliers are looking to swell their ranks by a few thousand. If you think you have the skill and diplomacy to talk your way out of a tight corner, as well as the strength and determination to dig deep on a tough mission, then Astra Corps needs you! Get to Iron Fusion, get your Solar Fusilier Uniform and get in line!”
