Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has announced that PlayStation Home, the virtual world available on PS3, now has 10 million users.

The news of the user base milestone is accompanied by the launch of new spaces for Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time, with a MotorStorm space set to arrive soon. Each space has its own distinct feel offering an interactive area where users can get a taste for the title, hang out with other fans, enjoy mini-games and watch the latest game footage.

The MotorStorm space is decked-out as a garage-come-industrial warehouse, complete with DJ area, dancefloors and chill-out zones, while offering new merchandise and quest rewards.

"PlayStation Home is fast becoming the meeting place of choice between users and developers," said Dan Hill, European Home Business Manager at SCEE.

He added: "Every new game space enhances the overall experience for consumers, offering more variety, more choice and more enjoyment from a PlayStation Home session. The more game spaces there are, the better it gets, and the number of spaces keeps on growing. For developers, there’s no better way of driving interest in their titles than giving fans a hands-on, interactive experience based around the game itself. A game space in PlayStation Home ought to be a core element of every studio’s marketing strategy for new titles."

PlayStation Home is free to access on PS3.

So 9 million people used it once for 15 minutes, 0.75m use it for marketing and self-promotion, and the last 250,000 people use it to flirt with people pretending to be female at the bowling alley?

Used once and that was it for me. Total rubbish in my view and simply made to sell virtual clothes and advertise Sony products.
