New Real Estate

Monkey Island Ghost Pirate Ship Personal Space
This space is huge but, if you’re sensitive to colors, this may be a bit harsh on your eyes (as you can see in the video below). The ship comes complete with a mini-game that unlocks a virtual item for the space and ghosts are everywhere (even a room full of chickens). To exit into central plaza just simply walk the plank to leave the ship. check out the tour of the Monkey Island Ghost Pirate Ship Personal Space by YourPlayStationHome:

New Space

• SOCOM: Confrontation Space
  For all those SOCOM fans out there you will not want to miss visiting this new SOCOM: Confrontation space for a chance to win a golden AK-47 that you can actually use in your game. You heard right. Visit the space and find the weapon game and assemble the AK-47 in 12-seconds or less to unlock an exclusive golden AK-47 to use in your game. Pieces of the AK can also be found in the SOCOM Tactical Operations Center area just up the ramp. But don’t stop there. There are plenty of other mini-games in this space to keep fans occupied like the finger fillet game. Check out the new SOCOM: Confrontation space:

Space Updates

• IREM Square Bon Festival has a new vendor located across from the Confectionery Vendor Store at the Bon Festival. The vendor challenges festival goers to see how many goldfish they can catch with a paper net before it rips. The fish are fast so you have to be quick before the paper breaks. There are four different types of fish to catch: A Common Goldfish, Dragon-eye Goldfish, Ryukin Goldfish and Ranchu Goldfish. Catch at least one of each selecting the second option to not only win a goldfish for yourself but a Kitty Plushie for your apartment. If you want a really nice way to display the goldfish you caught, there are three different types of aquariums available at the Confectionery Vendor that allows you to place the fish inside for a nice realistic addition to any apartment. The aquarium and prices are below in the shopping section.

  (Hint: The trick to catching the fish is wait until they group near the center bowl and then dunk the net under and scoop them out. The center bowl makes it easier to chase the fish and harder for the faster fish to move because they bump into the slower fish. The bigger fish are slow, but the skinny common goldfish is pretty fast. To catch the common goldfish is to catch them when they’re grouped with the slower fish for an easier catch. It’s totally random and may not always work but that’s how I caught a majority of the fish to win the Orange Kitty Plushie.)

• Gamer’s Lounge gets a major update making it the lounge it was originally meant to be. The lounge has been redesigned to include music and a mini-game as well as a chance to take a survey for an exclusive item. Now instead of pushing through alot of avatars to read the bulletin board, the Gamer’s Lounge is now the launching station it was meant to be for gaming parties. This space will be the rally point for all featured game parties in one area, just check for times and dates with the now live twitter ticker on display in the area. Right now, the only interactive things you can do there is go upstairs to the internet cafe and take the survey for a free item or look downstairs for dice tables to play a multi-player game with others in the lounge.
• IREM’s Seaside of Memories now have more treasures buried beneath the waves ranging from sea creatures to virtual clothes.
• SingStar VIP Rooms have been removed and may return in the future with the next promotional event.
