PlayStation Home: Welcome The Year Of The Dragon

PlayStation Home is offline from 8AM GMT on Wednesday 18th January for routine maintenance. Here is what to expect after the update…
Celebrate the Chinese New Year in style in the brand new Mahjong apartment. Invite your friends to play Mahjong Attack, our version of this very popular Chinese game.
It’s the year of the Dragon, so we’re giving away a free Chinese Dragon! Known for his wisdom and loyalty, this dragon is a worthy companion to have at your side. Just visit Home Square to pick up this reward, absolutely free.

Everyone loves cute ponies, right? If you say no, you’re clearly kidding yourself. The latest herd of Stitchkins have come cantering into PlayStation Home and they are some seriously adorable equines. Starshine and Aurora are big-eyed unicorns who stamp their little hooves to get your attention. If you wouldn’t be seen dead with a pink pony, then maybe Nimbus and Storm are more your style. Longer limbed Pegasus, these winged miniature horses never give up trying to fly, even if their stubby little wings aren’t big enough to lift them. Whichever you choose, their antics are sure to brighten up your day!

Also this week, Granzella bring us ‘Great Edo of Nippon’ – a Japanese Edo period themed space.
Along the shop-lined streets of this space, townspeople and merchants can be seen going about various occupations such as cargo delivery, running food stands, and samurai duties as well.

In the local clothing store, among many other Japanese costumes, you’ll find stylish kimono, samurai outfits, and even swords to complete the look. Change into a samurai outfit or kimono and experience the traditional Japanese culture of the Edo period.
Upon entering the city you can try your hand at the Goldfish Scoop and the Shooting Gallery mini-games. However, there’s a strange rumour going around the city recently…
Apparently, people say something is haunting the city!

Konami bring us some new additions to their Urban Camo range – try sneaking up on your friends in a variety of elaborate disguises, such as a treasure chest or arcade cabinet.
The PlayStation Home January Sale continues, and you can now pick up a great value bundle containing all of the Winter Villa furniture for just £2.99 / €3.59.
That wraps it up for this week. See you in Home!
