I have never been a huge Home user, but I have to admit that this deal from Sony to receive 100 free virtual Home items is pretty cool. This morning I managed to download many of the items from the Central Plaza kiosk, including the Dragon’s Lair space, which is pretty neat.
I was not able to get all of the ‘free’ virtual items due to (just a guess) high volume, resulting in frequent server error messages. I also had one of the ‘free’ items (some Egyptian sandals I think) show up for $0.49. Uh, no thanks Sony.
I may be such an infrequent Home user that I do not know WTF I am doing, but I really don’t understand why Sony does not offer a straight up ‘download all this welcome back free stuff’ package. Instead I had to load a few items, often hitting retry due to server errors, wait for a ‘your cart is full’ message, download, and start again. Rather tedious.
With E3 just hours away, I may try to be a frequent Home visitor, just so see if there are any freebies being given away for visiting different places and watching videos in the Theaters. Maybe; it is actually easier to just watch G4 and look for content online.
i dont use home much anymore; but when i was unemployed was a regular user – at least 5 hours a day on there – during E3 we got around 10 shirts for free- cant remember what year that was but i think it was 2009
It looks like Sony keeps adding more and more interesting stuff (games, spaces, etc) to Home, but I do not have a keyboard or headset, which probably limits Home’s usefulness to me. Besides, it is not like I have a ton of friends that are gamers … most have long since abandon gaming goodness.
