    That is a ridiculous price for that space. I can see a lot of complaints about it coming unless they took the time to actually open up the walkways outside the apartment.

    i don't think they did joanna, i believe it is just like the one eu got just with a $4.99 price tag on it. the funny thing is they will say ( if haven't already ) that we wanted the space here in na so here it is.

    I figured the u.s. would have to pay for the tree house apartment Out of those on the u.s PShome that hasn't forgotten it was free on the u.k i wonder how many still actually paid for it. I've also noticed awhile back that HK the japanese PShome & the u.k very rarely gives anything away free anymore, is that because the u.s region don't want users straying So they slowed the number of free items in those regions, if so then it's odd that they worry about users going there & getting free stuff there over those that would region hack them. You know how many purple glowing skeletons, goblins & other region costumes i've seen lately, users are still getting region hacked items yet those of us that actually want to pay for items suffer from high prices & ridiculous items. it's really bad alot of users won't wake up & stop or slow down on buying the overpriced & ridiculous, I understand that PSN has to get money since it's free but is it right to pay for items that aren't worthy of the price

    Couldn't agree with you more. I just wish the virtual item price is low and keep the hacker and buyer playing field even out. All I can see is that PS HOME just keep hike up the price and more people get sucker for it and still would pay for it without second thought. Money doesn't grow on tree and every penny you earn and spend simply goes to a none existent item and over time you just forget them being there in your inventory.

    PSN sits back & says SUCKERS they'll buy anything for any price Sad thing is it's all targeted towards the ones that has the money to spend on the pointless. It would be a little different if some of the users had bills to pay a family to take care of & had to continuously cough up the cash themselves to buy this crap then they'd spend a little more wisely instead of running to mom or daddy & saying I need $50 for another PSN Card to buy the rest of the golden mansion. The mothers & fathers all probably say, don't waste my time with that nonsense, we work to hard for what money we have to waste on overpriced virtual items.Thing is you don't have 2 buy anything from home but yet it's suppose to a virtual world of enjoyment, So after dealing with the pervs the stray unwanted friend requests the rude & stupid messages & thousands of times being kicked offline, shouldn't we be able to relax a little knowing we can put our money to something reasonably priced

    roflmao vamp, the really bad thing about it is we really don't own anything we buy in home. it is more like we are renting it cause if home was to shut down ( knock on wood that it doesn't lol ) all the money people have put into it is just gone with nothing to show for it. now i know i have spent my far share on home items and it is more than i ever thought i would. but i know that i am just renting the items i buy and that is why i have never bought anything that was over $6.00. even that was a hard sale for me to lol, but hey if people want to throw there money away to get a $35 dollar mansion (when it all comes out) more power to them. although i would like to see prices drop back down or atleast people not buy all these high price items it is there money and they can do what they want with it.

    but to any that have money to burn like that, hey you could alway give some of it to me i could buy some more games or home.... errr i mean use it to pay my bills rofl :)

    It is their money & they can spend it on anything they chose, all i'm hoping for is that they'll see some of the items are not worth the prices set for them, just maybe a few will see that & be a little more cautious on what they spend their money on & show sony we aren't willing to buy every golden mansion every golden money suit or any other overpriced items or downloadable content on PSN they throw at us that's not worth the price. Show them that when we're on PShome or on PSN that even in this virtual reality we know the value of a dollar & we'll think a little more carefully on what we spend it on & maybe sony will think a little more clearly & put more effort into the products they give us, I know it's alot of maybes but it has to start somewhere

    I was thinking about that, if PSHome shutdown But what about a PSHome for the next gen console The PS4, would there be a PSHome on there? PS3 is getting closer to the end of it's life cycle So when the PS4 arrives & If there's a PSHome on it, i'm thinking PSN & PSHome will cost users money just to access it because hey PS3 was the beta testing & by PS4 that'll be done with & all your items all the cash users spent will be gone, stuck on the outdated PS3 So enjoy :)

    well i am not sure about not having our items after it is out of beta and from one system to the other (just look at closed beta to open :)). but when they do go to the ps4 paying just to get on home might be something we have to worry about. but if they do make us pay for home on the ps4 it better be 20x better than it is right now cause i would not pay to get on a service like home with the way it is now. but i have to say that is something that i had not thought about with the ps3 home being the beta and ps4 home being the full version which could be what they planed from the start. but till then lets just hope they can atleast get home straighten out so it is more injoyable to use :).

    I think that's the biggest reason why PSN is free because it's an unstable network, The firmware & PSHome updates effects users differently from each other. Maybe by PS4 their network will be stable & firmware & PSN updates will effect users the way they should, I can see PS4 & PSN starting a free service like now but how long would it last & how much would we have to pay 4 access & You know you'll probably pay by credit card. Another thing is will that move PSN & PSHome to be a little more adult

    Wild that public spaces like Dead nation is free but something almost decent we gotta pay some kinda price to enjoy. So hooray for half handed public spaces, anything that's well constructed & a possible good time will cost you on PShome. Well the Dead nation public space is fun but Shhh don't tell because if sony hears then they'll add a $5 jacket we'd have to buy just to get in the door. YAY!!! KillZone3 beta available to all, something else to make all us PSN+ members feel our purchase of PSN+ so pointless

    YAY PSHome 1.5 soon, multi player aspects & sodium 2. Ok how about this instead PSHome is a giant forum social network So instead of worrying about graphics & adding high priced crap why not give users the ability to block messages & game invites from unknown users before it happens, they can only communicate with u by open text, just like a forum where u can read their posts but can block they're PMs. Forums facebook myspace whatever, They have a feature that allows you to only receive messages from people on your friends list or messages for the forum administrators Now why can't PSHome add this feature. Oh sure you can block or ignore unknown users messages & text spamming & reporting works but not at that moment & OH YES game invites gets through even if that user is ignored, They will spam u with game invites until you leave the area or one of u gets kicked off line. Why not give users a better defense against PSHome Trolls that's not afraid of being reported or you putting them on ignore
