Games journalists work from Home

The Events Space within PlayStation Home opened its doors to the press for the first time on July 17.

Gaming press from around the world attended a Q & A session with a difference on July 17; selected journalists were invited to log into PlayStation Home, where their avatars were given a guided tour of the brand new Events Space and the opportunity to interview developers from Insomniac Games and Sucker Punch Productions.

The invitation-only event lasted around an hour, in which time attendees were able to explore the space, try out its new mini-games and watch E3 videos; probe the developers behind Resistance 2, Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty and inFamous; and chat with each other about the games industry in general.

European Home service manager Dan Hill declared the event a success, adding: "The Events Space is a great way for us to interact with both media and the PlayStation community, and this is just the first of a number of events that we'll be hosting over the coming months."
