The HDTV in the game room has the same PlayStation Blog video that the main Mansion has but it does change up to other Blog videos from time to time.

The item limit situation is a good question.. Who knows? The fact that we have been asking for the longest to have our item limit expanded and knowing the Home team knows we want these things is a good thing. Our estates has grown in size and if you have seen the Second Story Mansion then you’ll notice they have furnished the estate with very nice built in items. it looks fully furnished and you can still add 50 regular items and 2 additional active items on top of that.

You had some very good suggestions about the estate. Please add your thoughts to the Second Story Mansion thread in the PlayStation Home forums were the developers can read them. they have already made adjustments to the main Mansion because of user feedback in a previous thread. http://community.us.playstation.com/thread/3407972

Thanks!

But you can’t sit on the bed.

I have to admit the gifted bling looks terrific in my Dragon’s Lair apartment. Bling on bling on bling. I can’t think of anywhere else I would use it, though.

In my time at home I have only purchased one personal space, and that was the London pub. the reason for it was because it came with a game, and it was not huge. It serves great as a casual hangout by myself or with a few online friends. I’m happy with my purchase, is there bigger and better personal spaces? that’s all a matter of opinion vs wants.

Will I purchase the mansion?, No I would not. As I have no idea what I would use all that space for! ( even if I only purchase one section)
Based on Sonys track record, I also assume they will make a space that will “trump” the mansion, its just a matter of time and money.

I also think the mansion would have been better designed if it has a club type invitation system, where avatars could roam the entire property (if all sections were purchased) as long as the host was present in one of the areas.

Maybe one day a private space will have such a feature, and if that private space had a star wars theme. I would be tempted into purchasing my second home realestate.

Funny, I used ”baked” in the forums and now I want and oven in my mansion that bakes!

It is nice having 2 games already there. I added my non active Cabin boy and Midway ardade games to the room and added Checkers and barely squeezed in the Poker table >.<

The Infinity pool is the visual I love of the 3 that are currently here. It's hard to just choose 2 for me.. But looking long term down the road.. Having all the peices will be worth it. trust me.

I like the idea that there is some separation in price for some items. Everything should not be priced for everyone.

And besides, there are priviledges of ownership that cannot be quantified in active item counts or dollars. Only the owner gets to give out items to people when they come over. Only an owner can go there without being invited. Only the owner can turn on the TV. Only the owner can find the hidden items that will unlock things later. And finally, only the owner can use the doors between the spaces as if they are connected seemlessly.

The Mansion is a Mercedes. Does anyone need a Mercedes? No. A Ford Focus will get you there. But whether or not the extras are worth it is a personal choice. And so far, based on the January top ten list you posted, a lot of people are answering “Yes.”

So, here’s the question: assume you have no other Mansion pieces. Is it worth $15 to have two baked-in games and two active-item slots?

I’m legitimately curious as to how well each of the various Mansion pieces sells. So far, the second floor makes the strongest value proposition.

It turns out there is a limitation in Home that you cannot join mini-games (of which the Reward Machine is one) while sitting. I doubt we will see a core update just to “fix” this.

Just call me a dreamer.

The Second Floor of the Mansion is pretty awesome I think. Tour’s have been steady and there has been really good feedback about the estate.

Thanks everyone.

And also thanks to KarateChampChad for allowing me to trudge my muddy shoes through his mansion yet again.
