London Comes to Playstation Home

What would be the best way to bring London to Playstation Home? A pub situated on the banks of the River Thames overlooking The Houses of Parliament? Well your in luck! VEEMEE have made this possible and have released the space today in the latest Playstation Home update. The new space is priced at €4.99 and brings a whole London pub to life, filled multi-player darts game, a roaring open fire, comedy beer pumps, crank phone calls and hand dryers. VEEMEE has teamed up with Unicorn, makers of the world’s finest dartboards, and to celebrate the launch of The London Pub Unicorn will give away 30 real Eclipse® Pro Dartboards in the first 30 days to anyone who plays the multi-player darts game in the virtual pub and tops the pub darts leader board in PlayStation Home.

Below are some screenshots of The London Pub and a video.

Update: Unfortunately the Playstation Home team have found a bug in the new London Pub and have had to pull the space. Thylaudax the SCEE Home Community Manger made a post on the Official EU Playstation Forums:

Hi all,

While in the process of checking a full fix for the purchasing problems with The London Pub today, the team have found that we will not be able to implement the fix until next Thursday’s update.

The London Pub has therefore been deactivated and removed from sale for the time being. Those who received it free will no longer have access and will need to visit Home Estates from next Thursday to buy the space. We are still investigating how best to proceed for those who already purchased the space, however we hope that the fix will restore the space automatically. We will update you all as soon as we know more.

We’d like to thank all of you who assisted us with tracking down this problem today, and apologise to all of you for any inconvenience and disappointment this issue may have caused.
