🏠 PlayStation Home was a virtual social space for the PlayStation 3, quit similar to SecondLife, launched in December 2008. It allowed users to create avatars, decorate virtual apartments, and interact with others in a shared online environment. The service aimed to be a "Second Life" for PlayStation fans, offering a mix of social interaction, mini-games, and customization options. In reality it served as a way to milk customers for their money buying all manner of virtual items and accessories.
The service officially ended on March 31, 2015, after Sony announced its closure in late 2014. It still has a dedicated fanbase. Opinions about the service seem to fall in two categories. Many loved its unique concept, the ability to meet new people, and the creative freedom it offered. Others criticized it for being overly reliant on microtransactions, lacking clear objectives, and feeling more like a glorified chatroom than a fully-fledged gaming experience.
It was a bold experiment that left a lasting impression on its loyal community, even inspiring efforts to preserve its legacy like PSHomeologyLab tries does. Many of these preservation attempts are invite only, closed beta or like this one are barren from others when you do log into them, like shown in this video. Still it gives a little insight in how it all looked. PlayStation Store functionality is not there - it is possible to browse the items that were on sale at some point. The video shows everything loading and downloading in real time. Decided not to narrate this barren landscape.
