Tonight, I sleep, but tomorrow…

Tomorrow, I report.

(Actually, it’s pronounced “sai,” but you get the idea.)

As other blogs, both here in GAP and elsewhere, have mentioned, Xi has begun within PlayStation Home. I’ve played it. It’s moderately fun, but the real excitement for me comes from the potential for Home that the Xi game reveals.

Xi is basically an Alternate Reality Game, except that this one already takes place in the alternate reality that is Home. So far, it’s a scavenger hunt / puzzle, but frequent updates promise fresh content each time one logs into Home.

If that in itself isn’t enough to get excited over, then the possibilities within Home that Xi has shown us are. Having completed today’s “expeditions,” as the Xi ARG calls them, I believe that I have seen the future of Home.

Experience Xi for yourself (go now).

As you may or may not have noticed, I’ve added a new PlayStation 3 Trophies card to the top of the blog. It’s a bit bigger, doesn’t show as much info as to what Trophies I’ve gotten recently, and I’m not from the UK, but the important thing is that, unlike the Playfire card I was using previously, this card updates my Trophies tally automatically. No more manually adding Trophies for me. That was a pain.

So why’s it show a UK flag? Well, currently, this service is only being offered through eu.playstation.com, SCEE’s PlayStation website. I’m sure that at some point SCEA will offer this service as well, but for now, at least North American PS3 owners can also login to the Euro PlayStation website and set up Trophy cards with the NA PS3 logins, as I have done.

Curiously enough, there is yet to be any support for users to be able to look at the Trophies collected by their friends on either web site. Is that coming?
