Namco Bandai will also be launching a new destination within PlayStation Home simultaneously with the release of Museum Essentials. It will serve as the hub for all of Namco Bandai's upcoming downloadable games and will include a virtual arcade featuring a trial version of Museum Essentials. In addition to the free demo, PlayStation Home items can be unlocked for those who visit the space. All in all, it looks as though Home fans (casual and hardcore) will have a lot to look forward to.

theres a demo in the japan store so perhaps they will release on as well. you could still unlock items to use in your apartment in the demo as well

If you downloaded the Hong Kong version - not only was in English, it works in both European and US versions of Home.

How come more games don't link trophies with unlocks? I can see why third parties don't but you'd think Sony would be more willing to do this with a game like inFamous/KZ/MLB The Show 09 or other exclusives this year.

Singstar does it :) But yes, it is a very underused feature.

wow that actually might be worth downloading Home again.
Ashitaka @ Jun 18th 2009 7:55AM
The EA Sports Complex had already made Home worth downloading.

Frank @ Jun 18th 2009 5:03AM
Maybe it was because I didn't have the Japanese full version, but I only got - and I'm not making this up - coins and a soda when I went to the Namco Bandai space in Japan Home. I got pretty much all the clothes from the demo though. 0:

It's coming to Europe, sometime late July or early August
