NOW SHOWING in Home Cinema - 19th May 2009

New to Home Cinema this week...

They came, they saw, they partied.

So opening weekend is over and the marketing campaign has come to a close. But that didn't stop us giving the residents of Home one final party to celebrate Star Trek's release. Last night between 7-9pm (BST) we threw our first virtual party in Home Square. Anyone could come along and we gave away two exclusive uniforms, one male one female, to those that popped by.

As with most events in Home, it turned into one giant dance party. Multiple instances of Home Square ran at capacity and all appeared to be in full spirit. Special thanks to Home users Milnerant and Wip3outs for some great footage on Flickr and Youtube and a big thank you to all who came along. 

Star Trek has already generated a very respectable $112 million at the box office and it will be interesting to see how it fairs this weekend. Nonetheless, this figure pretty much guarantees this won't be the end of the rebooted franchise.

As we continue to find our feet in Home and another campaign draws to a close, our eyes have already turned to the next one. And there is definitely more than meets the eye this time.

Star Trek Party in Home this Sunday

To celebrate the release of STAR TREK in cinemas around  the  globe, the residents of Home Europe are invited to attend the first PlayStation Home Star Trek Party. 

Grab your free Starfleet uniform from the Threads Store and head to Home Square between 7-9pm BST on Sunday May 10th to meet fellow trekkers and watch some great Star Trek footage on the big screens. As a special thank you, keep your eyes peeled for the special poster points in Home Square for your chance to grab one of two exclusive Starfleet uniforms, not available anywhere else. 

But be warned, these will only be available between 7 and 9pm BST! If you are in Home Square before 7pm, remember you will need to leave and re-enter in order to see the special poster points. 

Star Trek Takeover in Home Cinema
