Sony has announced that it's launching an MMO inside Home today called Sodium One.
Players can enter in to the Sodium "Teleporter" found in Home's Central Plaza to play along with the kind-of-but-not-really free-to-play title. Called a "social gaming environment," you'll be able to battle against other players in objective-based mini-games, as well as larger arcade-style games and other community events.
So like I said, it's free to play until you have to pay. You can hop right in and play a game called "Salt Shooter" where you'll use a tank to hunt robots. But if you want more, you can pay to unlock levels and "experiences" by buying virtual items, which Sony says will range from $0.99 to $4.99.
Curious little idea Sodium is. Check it out and let us know what you think.

Pepper me skeptical, though.
Why?
Just need to add those TV's Sony, those will turn Home from a time waste, to somewhere to watch TV with my friends virtually.
I mean come on. Surely I can watch the videos on my PS3 in my HOME space, with my buddies? Right? Performing rights issues? fuck them, sort that shit out Sony!
LoL I loved taking PS calls at SOE....one of the players made my trainees cry. It was a wonderful day.
lol I actually liked Planetside, for a "MMO" it did something different and I honestly think it could work on a console.
the rest of it is pretty boring :p just home with a new skin that was influenced heavily by the "Burning Man" festival, they even have one of those huge guys that usually get burned at "Burning Man" :p
Maybe, Maybe.
@SexualChocolate
