If so, be sure to head to the Home Mall since they will be flying off those virtual shelves. You know you will look good…in fact, tell us which shirt you think is the best. Maybe we'll make an actual real-life one. Just hop on over to the official PlayStation Home forums to start-a-votin' and get-a-wearin' or just let us know on the comments".

PlayStation LifeStyle writes, "A post on Loot Gear's Twitter page has confirmed that Ghostbusters will be making an appearance in PlayStation Home. How much of an appearance? Well, costumes, toys, shirts, an event space and an apartment are coming, just for you Ghostbusters fans."
PlayStation LifeStyle writes, "According to some sources at Loot, Sony is poised to release a Machinima Utility for PlayStation Home. The reports say this could be realized within a couple of weeks. The developer of the project wanted to combine the best aspects of home: social activity and interactive experiences. The video below pretty much confirms this!"
In Japan (and other parts of Asia), kinder, gentler titles such as Aquanaut's Holiday, Afrika/Hakuna Matata and Dress are aimed at a demographic that marketers seem pretty sure just doesn't exist in America. (Perhaps the success of That Game Company's Flower will change their minds?). Now, Sony of Japan has posted a page announcing integration of its dress-em-up simulation Dress with Sony's Home.
