Users in North America are able to explore a world of entertainment and unparalleled interactive capabilities either using LOOT’s Public Theater virtual spaces which offer “Social Viewing” experiences with up to 60 users or invitation-only private spaces such as Sunset Yacht, Hollywood Hills House, and the LOOT Space Apartment where hosts can invite up to 11 friends to watch content together and communicate via voice and text. Now, PlayStation®Home users will be able to share the experience of the platform’s Entertainment on Demand (EOD) system with content provided by three leading online media companies.
