With Playstation Home only being out a matter of days, there are some interesting secrets that the new "game" has inside.

Put up you own advertising posters

Home is littered with advertising just like in real-life, but if you are geeky enough you should be able to have your own posters to look at instead of the ones Sony would obviously like you to see.

You need to set up an Apache webserver on another machine on your local network as well as another program called DNS Plus. You then need to download these files from Streetskaterfu in the htdocs folder of your newly installed folder.

In DNS Plus enter in a zone name called "scee-home.playstation.net" for Europe or "scea-home.playstation.net" for the US (sans quotes) and add theIP address of your local Apache server.

Once that is done, go to htdocs to c.home\prod\live\Screens on the Apache server and look for a file called CinemaChannels.xml. This file lists the poster files that render on Home. you can change these to whatever you like and customise your experience.
