Playstation 3 Home

Aite, so yesterday I've decided to check out what the Playstation 3's Home of the Japanese server looks like. After a brief registeration of a Japanese account, I've successfully managed to take a look at this once hidden gem. 

Compared to the American's version of Home, there are many obvious differences:
- The Home Plaza was alot wider and more spacious than the American's.
- All spaces, excluding the personal space and the mall, were different.
- There are ALOT more things to buy in the stores, for costumes etc.

On top of that, I manage to catch a glimps of a live Hatsune Miku's performance off the pier from the plaza. Heres some highlights:




Thats right. You're eyes are not fooling you. There is a CROWD gathering to see the live performance (of a new song). 

Besides the appearance of Hatsune Miku, there is also a life-size Gundam RX-78-2 released today, in sync reveal of the REAL 1/1 ratio Gundam statue in Odaiba, Japan. The first pic is the real Gundam statue, and below it are the ones from Home: 





Now, what can possibly be more Japanese than a giant robot in the middle of Home Plaza? Why, a fully decked out festival of course! Included in the Japanese server, PS3 Home included a space that is themed with the Japanese festival. Heres a few shots:






Besides some good music and fireworks sound effects, there are mini games, such as goldfish catch, and mini shooting range that makes this place really feel like a traditional Japanese festival. Oh yea, they didnt forget to put in some pretty ladies there too: 


The American version of Home is NOTHING compared to the Japanese version. Just saying... just saying... :)
