PlayStation Home gets some Halloween crap photo

It's not just your local Walgreens that's stocked to the gills with Halloween-themed pagan nonsense. Sony has jumped on the spooktacular bandwagon to provide Halloween costumes for PlayStation Home, that Second Life thing that nobody with a brain ever uses.

Home users can choose from a Weary Wolf, a Franklystines, a Ghosty and a Skellington. A new Burn Zombie Burn space is also available, and the US version of Home will go one step further, having the undead run rampant about town.

For the record, Walgreens has awesome Halloween stuff. Like, ten-foot tall Grim Reapers hanging from the ceiling, skellington prisoners in big cages, upside down vampire bats that you can dangle off stuff, ghosts that play the Halloween tune, and more masks than a rapist could use in ten years. I have no reason to really share that, but if you're looking for Halloween nonsense, that's the place to go.

It's better than anything in Home, at any rate.

I don't think you know what you are talking about Jim. I check up on Home once a week or so to see if anything has changed, and there are always people in there. More so now that the price is lowered. There are always people in the Siren Room, The dance floor, the game room... its a pretty busy place for no one using it.

Jim probably shops at Walgreens for the style products for the coloreds.

Home is really retarded. It might be more fun, like a crappy version of the Sims, if you didn't have to pay real money for things in the game.

God I hate Halloween. I get my chills during Valentines Day.

Public displays of affection amongst the unattractive? That's some scary shit right there.

Jim, since you hate home that much (to be frank, I don't use it either, but you are being to harsh on people who use it), maybe you should not be doing the reporting. Why waste your time with home posts, when you think it is a waste of time.

Oh, I see the real purpose of home. Its the same as any online microtransaction based service.

for you to spend money on cosmetic apparel..

Besides. Could be worse. Instead of comparing it to second life they could compare it to Gaia Online.

If you honestly think its any deeper than to be an adspace and microtransaction supported chatspace, you're a retard.

it took me longer to leave HOME then I actually walked around it. I just don't understand the point of it when I could be playing a game or fapping to Bayonetta videos.

Ok, so there are now zombies roaming free in Home. I cannot think of a better reason why Home needs shotguns. I've been dying to blow the heads off of other Home users for some time now, virtually speaking. Now that they're members of the walking undead, I should be allowed to do this with reckless abandon. One more thing - I'd like the kills to be permanent.

Halloween is such a useless holiday. Valentine's Day is at least a fake celebration of something that's designed to get people to spend money. Halloween doesn't even bother to pretend to celebrate anything while it makes people spend cash on useless crap.

For the folks that use Home, how much time would you estimate that you spend there in an average week?

@ evolution1ne

Have you even messed with Home or Second Life? It IS a SL rip off, hell its near identical in some respects. Part of the reason I hate it so much, both are pointless ways for 'casual' gamers to waste their time. Every minute you spend on Home is a minute you could be playing KZ2, UC2 or any of the other now-existing PS3 exclusives.

@RenegadePanda

What do exclusives have to do with your argument that Home is Just Like Second Life?
