The SingStar Rooms for PlayStation Home, originally announced at GamesCom, will be launching in Europe later this month, according to Elliott Linger, Product Manager for PlayStation Europe. When you strut into The SingStar Rooms the dancefloor will react to the shapes you throw and the type of music will change based on what style the majority of avatars are dancing to. Therefore, if you all do the ‘Rock’ dance, the music will take a rockier edge.
A whole load of new content is coming to PlayStation Home tomorrow. First off is a new personal space based on the last stage of Killzone 2 – Scolar Visari’s Palace. Releasing in tandem with the Visari Throne Room will be a variety of virtual items that you can use to customize your area. Another personal space, the Post-Apocalyptic Apartment, is also coming, as well as accompanying furniture. Approximately 70 items in total are being released just for this personal space, so the customization options for this area alone are virtually endless.
