PlayStation Home 25-minute walkthrough

Sony's much anticipated service for the PlayStation 3 with PlayStation Portable integration won't be available until 2008, and it's almost disheartening how constant delays pushed its release window to next year. Fortunately, this means hard work is being invested to make PlayStation Home worth having. As of now, there are already many things you can do in Sony's virtual world, and you can see what exactly those are in the 25-minute video below.

Everything from character customization, creating homes, doing emotes, to playing the arcade and other games remain intact since we first saw them. Even if you're skeptic if the PlayStation Home will actually appeal to a wide audience, check out the walkthrough and you'll see if the hype around the service is with merit.

» Looks good, but....

I think that the progress they have made is great. I think that they need some music playing in the background. Its just too silent. If they added some music or more sounds it would be even better then it already is.

By then (when Home comes out) there should be In-Game XMB.

» hmmm...

though what hexoDAT64 says is mere (popular) speculation, it is reasonable to assume so.... early in the above video it shows various settings on the virtual PSP including music volume... so far no music has been shown in game as far as I can tell, aside from on radios which are put in private locations, but I doubt this is going to remain the case...



We'll just have to wait and see I guess...

I know you will be able to stream your own music, but even just just some simple theme music playing would be nice. If you have used the sims before you know what I mean

» Well...

watching the guy play it I was bored in 10 mins....so I will give it an hour in real life...



It could get interesting with all the 12-15 year olds running around trying to gansta rap and spewing *****ty 10year old your mom jokes....maybe 30 mins of that...



On a good note though...hanging around the chess boards could be cool...



They also need to fix the proximity sound....walking up to a TV sounds so un-natural....one minute it's silent, then POW it's some blaring ad in your face...
