Just saw this post on the PS Blog.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/06/05/take-a-virtual-tour-of-playstations-e3-booth-in-ps-home/

Basically if you go to their virtual E3 booth, and pre-register, attend events and complete some quests you get themes, PS+ trial and access to the Killzone: Mercenary Beta later this year.

Virtual PlayStation E3 Booth Opens for Pre-Registration

The biggest video game event of the year, E3, is almost upon us! Following tradition, weve taken the actual schematics of this years physical PlayStation booth and recreated it in PlayStation Home, right down to the finest details. Few are fortunate enough to attend the real event, but we love sharing the experience with all the PlayStation fans out there. This E3 is shaping up to be an extraordinary one you dont want to miss it.
Starting later today, everyone who pre-registers in our virtual E3 booth will earn exclusive rewards, including a Beyond: Two Souls PS3 theme. This is only available for those who pre-register this week!

Same here. Looks like I have to redownload Home.

SmokyDave · Jun 5, 2013

Fuck! I have to redownload Home!

That Mercs beta is too good to pass up.

Schobeleth · Jun 5, 2013

Sweet, thanks for the tip!

SniperHunter · Jun 5, 2013

PS Home? lol

how big is the initial download? IS it worth it?

Iacobellis · Jun 5, 2013

Is this the ONLY way to get into the beta?

BizzyBum · Jun 5, 2013

clever way to get people to actually use that crap thing.

Can you believe it's labeled a beta still? lmao

kick51 · Jun 5, 2013

Big push for Home at E3 for PS4 incoming!

...still not downloading it

ThoughtsOfSpeaking · Jun 5, 2013

Am i the only one surprised this hasnt been quietly killed yet?

I think its like 40MB or something like that. then you just download the places you want to visit.

I dont think it is.

No, Home makes Sony LOTS of money.

Franklinator · Jun 5, 2013

Cool, I'll download Home for the first time then. I'm a sucker for cool themes.

maltrain · Jun 5, 2013

Rymdkapsel for free!!!

That's really cool. My PS Vita is happy.

Shadow2222 · Jun 5, 2013

It is actually really cool, but I can never stay attached to it for some reason.

zeopower6 · Jun 5, 2013

Getting Home right now! All these freebies are pretty awesome.

Carl · Jun 5, 2013

Some of these sound pretty good actually. E3 area is usually good fun

Yeah, I think this is a pretty neat idea.

Var · Jun 5, 2013

Wasn't interested untill I saw the Last of Us. Definitely going to do it now.

aristotle · Jun 5, 2013

Now to find a walkthrough for each of these since it'll be at least a 10 step process much like their past "mysteries" in Home; re: Xi or whatever that was a few years ago.

I'm lazy.

Roto13 · Jun 5, 2013

Wonder if those PS+ trials are only for accounts that haven't had Plus before.

Order · Jun 5, 2013

Dammit now I need to go to Home.

DMczaf · Jun 5, 2013

Sony pushing Home again?

It's 2013, right?

Guevara · Jun 5, 2013

PS3 go home?

they do it every year at E3 :/... Also Killzone Mercenary beta!!! planning to buy a vita after E3 so I probably am going to try and get that

Sylver · Jun 5, 2013

Oh, I will need to install Home again for that beta.

Good point. I need to know this before I bother.

Foshy · Jun 5, 2013

Is this only for US or EU too?

hurzelein · Jun 5, 2013

Killzone and Rymdkapsel: interesting.

But what are these quests, how much time do they need?

VanWinkle · Jun 5, 2013

This is actually pretty interesting. I might have to boot up Home for the first time in probably two or three years.

pelican · Jun 5, 2013

excited for the PS4 Home!!

joke;p

Pachimari · Jun 5, 2013

I don't know where else to ask this, but am I the only one losing hope in seeing Home for PlayStation 4? =(

waypoetic · Jun 5, 2013

Would but i'm in europe.

Looks like US only so far. Here is the EU Home update http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2013...ate-the-kikai-machine-empire-event-continues/ If you have a US account you can login to US Home.

giancarlo123x · Jun 5, 2013

It's been years since I've clicked that home button on purpose, looks like I'm going back in.

Man-is-Obsolete · Jun 5, 2013

Bravo Sony you have made the prospect of going into Home exciting. Should be doing a lot more of this.

If you'll excuse me I need to go reinstall Home.

RelentlessRolento · Jun 5, 2013

Killzone betas are the only betas I drop tons of time into... Unless you count Home

But yeah, worth it

lol i just did this. i had no clue what i was doing in there. when the contents actually up i fear i may need a walkthrough just to get to it

WickedLaharl · Jun 5, 2013

I'm gonna need more incentive in order to suffer HOME

StevePharma · Jun 5, 2013

PLAYSTATION GO HOME.

Alright Sony I'll visit your house again to profit off of you again this year

I agree, they should do more stuff like this.

WickedLaharl said:

It's not like it used to be. Home has changed a lot over the years.

stuminus3 · Jun 5, 2013

These games will all be out in the time it would take me to update Home on my PS3.

RelentlessRolento · Jun 5, 2013

Didn't see the free PS Mobile games

two I've been meaning to buy. Glad I held off

So no E3 space for Europe?

They usually have an E3 space. I don't know why they havent mentioned anything so far.

Overboost · Jun 5, 2013

IMO the biggest news here is the free 30 days of PS+ just for completing a quest next week in the virtual E3 booth. You get a code even if you're a current PS+ subscriber. That means you get these five games for free, just for checking out Home:

Deus Ex: Human Revolution (PS3)
Machinarium (PS3)
Saints Row: The Third (PS3)
Gods Eater Burst (PSP, PS Vita Compatible)
Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward (PS Vita)

That should get a hell of a lot of new people into Home next week.

Wishmaster92 · Jun 5, 2013

That's pretty cool, hope to see more stuff like this.

Indeed.. those games -and- the games that are already a part of the IGC which adds up to quite a collection.
