The London Pub comes to PlayStation Home.

LONDON – December 17th 2009 – VEEMEE, an independent creator of branded and original content for games platforms and virtual worlds, are excited to announce details of the first virtual London Pub releasing on January 7th 2010 in PlayStation Home, priced at €4.99.

Based on your favourite London watering hole, situated on the banks of the river Thames overlooking The Houses of Parliament, The London Pub personal space comes complete with a multi-player darts game, a roaring open fire, comedy beer pumps, crank phone calls and hand dryers that don’t dry your hands (they’re only virtual you know).

Commenting on the upcoming release of The London Pub, Caspar Thykier, CEO at VEEMEE said, “We’re really excited to be launching such a high quality, interactive PlayStation Home space, themed around such a famous and quintessentially British icon. The London Pub in Home is sure to become a favourite hang-out for the ever growing community of Home inhabitants, and is the perfect place to relax, meet friends and play games after a hard day at work.”

Priced at €4.99, less than the price of a round, The London Pub personal space allows PlayStation Home users to meet up, hang out and become their very own pub landlord.

“Time, ladies and gentlemen, please!”
