I once suggested that Pizza Hut should open a store on Home where we could take our avatar in to order a pizza that was delivered to your real house while we continued to play. How awesome would that be?

What if there were a place in your account settings where you could enter your sizes and that way Home would know if a dress or shoes would fit you.

I have an Aibo. Her name is kitka. Shes sick Her battery doesnt keep a charge and the gears in her head stick from time to time so she gets these little seizures.

Makes me sad to say she stays on her base most days now.

This is a great idea Granny. I wouldn’t be one of their customers myself as I rarely buy clothing, I have too much already and my tastes are very simple when it comes to that.
There are many who would do this though and I think it would be interesting to see what would happen. This might be a cheaper way to advertise their products. It must have some merit, after all Ford did it in Home already. I wonder what their profit was from that if anything?

Yeah, I’ve discussed this somewhere before, and I think it’s a great idea! It works both ways too, which is one of the reasons I used to justify buying that Aibo dog in your picture, something I can’t really justify in RL (considering their rarity and horrendous price now).

You touched on the Stitchkins being made for real, and considering things like the mini battle bots and Peeps, I think this would be a great move for the companies to make some extra revenue. Hey, if they can do it with Angry Birds…

Gran,
This is actually an awesome idea and I thought of it when I first saw the stores here. Actually it was Ligne Ross that got me thinking along that line, as they are a real furniture store. I thought why dont they just advertise their clothing products here- and tie it to Amazon for delivery.

It would definately give incentive to clothing chains to use Playstation as a marketing platform. It must have been thought of in the past with clients like Billabong. But they would have to track if the retail on Playstation made a difference in sales to match their marketing dollar here.

You Rock Gran -Thanks for writing this one- it needed to be written.

I would love an HSMag t-shirt on Home and in the real world. I would love to explain to people that I write for a virtual magazine!
