Sony Home Update: Alternate reality game Xi: The Hub finally arrives

For the past few months since the opening of Home on the PlayStation Network, there have been cryptic messages left on our virtual PSPs. No one really knew what it meant and I don’t think they cared as long as the worlds kept opening new playing fields for the thousands of PlayStation 3 users. It spoke of portals, elevators and a search for someone lost within the Matrix of this virtual Home world simply called Xi.

Earlier this week, (March 23, 2009) strange graffiti appeared on the wall in the central plaza that, if examined, transports you into a new world called Xi: The Hub, PlayStation Home’s first console-based alternate reality game.
