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.
