Move into the Chamber Apartment.

Fancy a new virtual living space for your Home avatar? Don't want to spend any money? Now's your chance to move into the ultimate in cheapskate apartments; the Chamber Apartment.

For one week beginning May 14 Home users will be able to snap up a luxury pad complete with a giant living tree in the middle - the perfect place to hang out with friends as you talk about Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter.

not sure if you know this woffle but Sony are introducing VidZone only to EU so that means free music videos.

Had a look earlier, from what I saw, it's still not available for UK users. I wonder if it's U.S. only?

Home hasn't got me interested at all as nothing has changed. Like I said before on this matter, I still stand by that. I hope Sony could of paid more attention to the PSN Store, like music for one.... No content for music set from Pain and some other game. They can easily add more content and make me happy for the PSN then Home, which really to be honest has been a disaster.

Why am I waiting to play Ice Breaker, then? It is a missed opportunity. Limiting virtual space makes absolutely zero sense. Surely they could play multiple sessions at the same time? Let me walk up to the machine, log in, and wait for the next 3 players to join, rather than wait for someone to vacate?

It's the same as waiting for any other online game though. The reason for the waiting is that you're usually playing against other players.

The thought of standing in line waiting to play golf in Home the way I have to wait to play the arcade games is enough to put me right off!

With XI you need to:
1) find the round 'graffiti' XI symbol to get to the XI Hub
2) for your initiation you'll be asked to get 3 pieces of paper. They tend to be stuck behind the robot at the back of the elevators, plant pots and against a wall, the best thing to do is go around all the walls of the hub and stay still for a few seconds.
3) For the other clues you'll need to log in to the computers at the top of the stairs. The blog is a good place to start.
4) It's worth doing as there is a selection of games around once you pass your initiation.

What's with the whole initiation thing with Xi? I logged on for the first time in a few months last night and could get nowhere with it (it's hard to accept it for the way it is intended) "I watched the damn videos now LET ME IN!!!" . I did notice a golf setup in the EA space apparently coming soon. I am interested to see how this is delivered...

I don't go on Home, I think it was way! Over-hyped and a pointless idea. I think I may even delete it from my HDD as it does take up some memory, as that memory could go to a good cause i.e. memory for more games!

I tried Xi, but something didn't work for me for some reason, so I was unable to actually complete the first three tasks. Have not been back to Home sicne then. I quite enjoyed Red Bull Air Race, though, and keep meaning to set a good time on that.

So, I will definitely be getting my freebie house on Thursday. Who knows, I might even find myself a regular visitor in future?

Yep, the game thing was quite interesting and the new spaces (especially EAs) have a load more games in them. It's taking time but Home is actually getting quite interesting and much bigger.
