Sony Home Update: The universe is expanding (again), a spy has been discovered in Xi

Click your heals three times and repeat after me… “There’s no place like HOME! There’s no place like HOME!”

More new spaces are opening up including one for Ghostbusters and Buzz!, there’s plenty of garb and goodies for you to slap on your avatar and in your virtual apartment and team leader Thom and a Veilcorps operative have been discovered by volunteers and the AFK hackers in Xi.

Sony Home Update: Sports Complex phase 1 is now open, free items and more Xi mysteries

As mentioned in the previous Sony Home Update, Electronic Arts wowed gamers with the new Godfather II Home space packed with two levels of card tables and mentioned working on a Sports Complex for gamers. Well, that complex finally opened Thursday, April 23, 2009, with two levels to explore.

Also in this update, new puzzles have appeared in Xi: The Hub, the mysterious manhole opens to reveal a maintenance area in Home’s central plaza and there are freebies at the mall…

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.
