Welcome Back goodies for European PlayStation Home outlined

by Griffin McElroy on Jun 30th 2011 12:00AM

Who cares about free games, downloadable content or PlayStation Plus memberships? We certainly could not care less -- our envious eye has fallen on the European PSN, whose Welcome Back rewards now include a grip of free PlayStation Home swag.

The free gear, which will be available for all European PSN users from June 30 until July 28, includes:

Anime Style Apartment
Anime themed clothing and furniture sets
Paris Modern Office furniture set
nDreams Big Bash party bundle
nDreams Fantasy Fashion and Funkster costumes
Aurora OrbRunner Booster Bundle
A cuddly Stitchkins Bunny Toy from Lockwood
A Midway Green ticket (50 plays)
Cardboard Cartel Furniture from Codeglue
Fortune Cookie active item
A selection of Tops, Shirts, Skirts, High-top trainers and glasses
Go Fish – a new, free-to-play fishing game based in the Shopping Centre

lol who plays playstation home? I mean really

@MasterBrief

there's always one of you isn't there...

@MasterBrief I've lost count of people who say this, and it's completely ignorant.
People do. Lots of people do. While they may not be the hardcore gamers we like to think we are, the service is constantly busy and the numbers are very good, you know, because maybe we wouldn't actually see this stuff if the service was a failure.

@MasterBrief

Around the same number that play Second Life I'd imagine.

@(Unverified) lol I played this a bit when I first had my PS3 and its ok for a social thing which I know is what its intended for but is this the only 'goodies' they are getting? If so that is what is ignorant, thinking that they would like stupid home stuff instead of a game or something else. Yes there are people that use it ofcourse but Id say the majority would like something besides Home stuff

@MasterBrief

The majority got free games, don't be stupid. Its only fair that Home users get free stuff too. But hey, ignorance and stupidity is bliss right?

@MasterBrief You misunderstood the news.. we, European gamers, get the free PlayStation Home goodies on top of the standard Welcome Back package (free games) that the rest of the world gets. So far, I've gotten the free PS3 and PSP games and now I'm getting free Home stuff! Now, that's a plus! And in case you're a bit slow, PS Home is more popular in Europe hence we're being rewarded.

@(Unverified) well that would explain it then It said in the beginning who cares about DLC and games so I took that as it was just this was for EU, dont take my comment so personal I wasnt bashing Home or anything just wondering why theyd give that of all things but you cleared that up

@Spunky Monkey 190906 jesus take things too serious do we? Notice it said nothing about this on top of free games

Dang it, I can't play Go Fish with my buddies here in the US? Frickin' unfair, Sony.

@JakeAuditore

As a US player, I wouldn't mind some of that stuff on that list either!

:/

Wow cardboard furniture.

I'll go on it to look at the free stuff, then go back to never using it.

The closest I've ever come to having "fun" on Home was when I decided to masquerade as a female player as part of some weird 'research' I was doing at the time - long story - and watching in shock at all the avatar attention my virtual, opposite-gender self was getting hit on by males, as well as seeing my inbox pile up with lude requests.

I'd make more disparaging remarks about those people, but really, I brought it onto myself =p

@willooi

You devilish trapster.

Now imagine if you had to change your avatar's gender just to avoid that.

I want a fishing game :(

I should have put "/s" at the end of my post or something.. I got/used the US Home freebies, but haven't for almost a month when I first got them. Home just doesn't appeal to me very much (though I could see how it would to others).

This why why Europe sucks.

@Shinobi13
Because, we get stuff you dont? Surely wherever you come from should suck, if you dont get it?

@Shinobi13

Europe sucks? Since when?

@Spunky Monkey 190906
Since they generally get shafted when it comes to gaming, which has been since always.

@Shinobi13 We're getting the free games AND the free Home stuff. You guys in America only get the free games. For a change, we are getting more

It looks good, can't wait to check it out.

*completely ignores ignorant home sucks who would use it comments from bunch of hardcore gamers it's not catered to and goes back to talking to the millions of people who do actually use home*

I'm going to download all this free stuff..then go back to not using it. :)

What is Playstation Home? LOL

@The Thing It's where you go to flame people on the internet.

Seems pretty good. I don't use it often so this is definitely a good reason to boot it up again
