PlayStation Home, which I’m pretty sure never came out of Beta, will close it’s European doors in March 2015.
Due to a shifting landscape, PlayStation Home will cease publishing new content on the 12th of November, 2014. Gamers in Europe will be able to download content until the 3rd of December, 2014. As a token of our tremendous gratitude to the community, we will also be releasing a series of free content prior to the platforms closure on the 31st of March, 2015.
Home did sound like a good idea at the start, a PlayStation branded version of Second Life. However, the lack of content at the start in December 2008 put many off, although these days there is enough things to do to keep you amused for days on end.
The service has probably suffered due to games now coming with mobile apps, rather than home integration, which was the original plan. Looks like we’re never going to see that virtual trophy case everyone wanted, sad times.

Always seemed very busy when I went on. Maybe that’s changed since the PS4 came out. I even bought about £1 of clothes for my avatar within the first couple of weeks of launch. Probably wouldn’t have to do that these days with all the free outfits and items you get for walking into new areas and such.
stueeeee
I quite like it every so often. There’s some proper games to play on there and quests in different spaces. And I often like going on at Christmas and seeing the snow and music….and it did get trophies not long ago.
Thought it would only be a matter of time unless they announced it for ps4…
