    There is a new Axe game at the booth in the Hub. Just spray yourself and go to the girl out in dance floor area. 2 rewards are bag of fireworks and a hand blowtorch item. This is a pretty bizarre promotion....spray yourself and then a woman with deodorant and receive a torch and fireworks? lol :confused:

    I think bag of fireworks is female only and torch is male only.

    Nothing new in RC Rally. I thought it said we were getting new companions but I got nothing. I completed all the objectives again turned off home and logged in on another PS3. Nothing has been posted about it either about it not being updated officially

    I just saw this:

    Hello everyone.

    As a response to ongoing reports of technical issues being submitted to us via the forums, will be retiring select content beginning on 02/08/2012.


    To start, we will be removing the Conspiracy, inFAMOUS, and SOCOM spaces. The removal of these spaces will NOT affect your inventories – all reward items earned from the games included in these spaces will remain in your inventories, as will all purchasable content associated with these games/spaces.


    The one exception is the Conspiracy All Access Pass, which will no longer operate as intended due to the removal of this space from our servers. If you have purchased the All Access Pass, we ask that you contact SCEA Consumer Services (Ask a Question | Support - PlayStation.com or 1-800-345-SONY) to receive a full refund.


    We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your continued support. We understand that some of you will miss these spaces and associated content. However, as with all things in Home, we are on a path of constant evolution and, as a result, we will sometimes need to retire content to ensure the highest quality user experience possible. We will continue to provide you with as much advance notice as possible and will take into account any feedback you’d wish to share with us regarding the process of retiring legacy content.


    Out with the old/in with the new!


    L_S

    If you want any rewards from those spaces looks like it's now or never, provided that they work that is. What worries me a little is the part that says to start, how will it end >_< ?

    Well, I did get that nekkid avatars for male and female, so I'm happy with those at least. I haven't gotten too much as far as rewards go game-wise, but got a few that I'm proud of. As for Infamous, I won the trash monster trophy from there a long time ago, so that's done. Socom, too, I gotten all rewards so I'm finished.

    The "retiring" of those spaces seems less to do with any technical issues as it does to the lack of traffic in them. I did enjoy Conspiracy and was hoping more was coming, including some aNsWErs.

    I think it's a real shame they remove spaces, that could potentially be repaired..and don't they realize, new users tend to go to the Infamous space to get the outfit?
    There's always some new person to Home, who is directed there to get the outfit reward.

    Even Socom, which I haven't used in like two years..but I'd assume it's still a potential space if they would update it with new rewards.

    It seems they always remove a space, with little word on why and they overlook the issues that need fixed.

    I feel the same will happen to UFC, as well.

    It cost $5.99...but you have to buy the Oscar's Lobster Mania Island and play the game and it will be rewarded along with a shirt and poster. Rewards are for owner only.

    Good question Dan--how will it end? I've been concerned that over time we would see more and more of this happening. It's really a shame with Conspiracy especially, considering that at one point, they were talking about expansion to include multi-player, new missions, taking the space to EU, etc. Also, its a mixed message from Mgt. again when they mention "as a response to technical issues" and then at the end say "out with the old, in with the new". So are the spaces being removed due to technical issues or because they are old?

    I don't know what they expected when they made the announcement a long time ago that Home would be primarily supporting indie developers. If this is what they want to do, maybe they should at least make sure ahead of time that these "developers" actually have the money to do something beyond the initial launch of a space and/or items. On the flip side of that, I'm sure Sony doesn't make it easy on them money-wise or reliability-wise.

    Bottom line for me--same as I've said for a long time, Home needs all new Management and direction....people who are less consumed by greed who have competence, a willingness to communicate honestly and a fresh creative vision. We can always dream about what could be........

    Yes, that "To start" comment has me worried too. The UFC space seems ready to follow right behind them and who knows what else. I visited the spaces last night and found nothing working in each except their stores, there was nobody in any except SOCOM confrontation which has always been a popular hang out. The only thing worth buying at any was a few of the items from Conspiracy like the pixelated items but otherwise their was nothing to mention. I have the Conspiracy pass which gives the limited edition gold robot costume which is quite cool, other than that there is no more companions or costume items related to the game.
