Jenni Lada brings us information about all of the groovy new gaming imports from around the world.




Starting today (May 14, 2009) until May 21, 2009, users can download their very own exclusive Chamber Apartment for free by visiting the Real Estate store in the Mall located in central plaza and download it.
The chamber is very spacious and includes four pits which you can switch between water falls or crackling fire pits just by stepping on a switch next to the pit. As you move around, there’s a face on the central tree that seems to follow you wherever you walk.
Before you leave the mall, visit the furniture store on the second floor for woodland-themed furniture such as dressers, shelves, chairs, tables and decorations for 99 cents each.
For players who love free items there are two free t-shirts at Threads located on the second floor of the Mall in Central Plaza.
For females, two Patapon 2 t-shirts are available, one pink and one green. For males one black and white shirt and one blue and white Patapon 2 t-shirts in honor of the recent release of Patapon 2 for the PSP. For those wanting a real Patapon T-shirt for free, fans can download one of two masks from the PSN blog site, create a photo or video with yourself wearing a mask and post them to Sony’s facebook fan page and email the link to playstation_community_support@playstation.sony.com and make sure the subject line reads: “PATAPICS ENTRY.”
Don’t forget to include your name, address and T-shirt size in the message. A few winners may even receive an extra item which has not announced yet.
As the worlds keep expanding as well as the popularity of Home, Playstation has created a new commercial to showcase some of the new things available on Home and even hinted at the most requested item in the forum, er, hamster suits. No dates for release of this item has been announced yet. But for now there are two free items players can claim, a koi hat and a shark hat, available for male and female avatars. Just find the code hidden within this video and redeem it:
The mysteries surrounding Xi: The Hub aer also growing and the plots just keep twisting. Just this past week a line was drawn and players were asked to choose which side to stand on between SpartaAFK (the alpha testers) and VeilCorps, but within the SpartaAFK clan differences of opinions have divided the team. From SpartaAFK players can choose which alpha tester to follow. Would it be DemocraXi or The Collective?
After a few days of bickering the Alpha Testers decided to put their differences aside and throw a party at Jess’ apartment. Nice friends, huh? While you’re in danger, they throw a party in your apartment (nice). But the party is not what it seems to be. While at the party the team asked members to seek out the VeilCorps spies among the party goers and try to find out what they already know about Xi. VeilCorps spies attending the party are asked to search Jess’s apartment for clues about Xi. Within the apartment there are three clues to find, one gives you a fragment and the other two unlock butterflies. One of the clues is a password to enter into your holopad. Hint: listen to the music video and do what it says ... literally.
