An interesting idea. I find myself buying new personal spaces whenever I have a new decor theme in mind; it’d be nice to use the same space for multiple looks.

Hmm, I wonder if that’s why they don’t allow it already? To encourage users to buy additional personal spaces…

deuce and Seal, I love those ideas. I for one would pay , say a one time fee to make a place mutli use or pay per copy. These are both great ideas. Now we’re cooking with fire.

Hey, I’d be willing to pay for that feature. Or it could be a property of specific private spaces, something that would enhance the value and make people more willing to purchase.

Great idea!! I think it is a feature that some people would use a lot. Maybe they could sell the save slots to generate revenue. Something like 4 for $0.99. Just brainstorming here which is always a good sign. Way to go.

I love this idea, but when I think back to all the decorating and redecorating I did for the holidays, it is almost scary. I literally undecorated, redecorated, rinsed and repeated every single space I own halloween, thanksgiving, and christmas only to return every single one of them back to “everyday life” once the holidays were over. It was a lot of fun, but between October and January, I did nothing but decorate everyday. LOL, one would think I would have had my fill, and I thought I had too for about a week… then I found myself right back at it. Buying more spaces and decorating them. I will have to start in July to get them all decorated for the holidays this year LOL

Thank you all. I did figure out the flashdrive trick, but the idea was to have it with in the software, as Burbie noted like the clubhouses. Plenty of PS games have this feature as well as smaller indie games, so it’s not really that grand a programmer task either.

Great article, Femaelstrom! There is actually a way to do this already, but it’s a bit of a hassle. You can save your personal space arrangements directly from the XMB onto a thumb drive, and restore them from the drive when you want to use them. This is especially useful if you have glitched a space, and don’t want to lose all that hard work. But having save slots would be so much easier!

I like this idea Strom. I think it might be a great addition to what we can do here in Home. In a sense they already have this technology in place with the various skins we can use and decorate totally differently with the clubs we own. I have two skins, the original and the Desert Haven and they are both decorated completely different from each other. This could be handled like that I think, possibly with an option like the club one has of changing it as long as you are in the space you want to do this with. They could put a cap on it, like 3 versions or something to keep the memory use down. Nice concept and good article.

I wonder how much space on our hard drive it would use to do something like that? It’s an interesting idea though. Good article Strom.

You can already do that, save different versions of your private spaces.
Buy flash drives and put the spaces on the drives. If you want to save more than one version you’ll need 2 or 3 cards.

I don’t know where you’ll get the Corvettes from though.
