Despite what some sites claim Playstation Home has a lot to offer, whether it be watching videos at the Theatre, socialising in the Plaza or even buying things at the Mall there is a fair bit to experience. However Home is not identical for each person, in fact depending on which region you live in can drastically alter what you can see and do. IGN have explored the three major regions, the UK, US and Japan and offer their view of the subject. Which basically amounts to "Why can't every region have everything?"

It's been little more than a week now, and PS3 owners have been diving into Home to check out Sony's virtual space at all hours of the day and night. Whether its chatting with new friends (or making new ones), playing games in the bowling alley or dancing in the Home Square, users and their virtual avatars are trying to make the community space their own. That, of course, includes purchasing furniture and clothing to ensure that your apartment or your character looks completely different than that of the other users in the online experience. While the number of things to do for PS3 owners is somewhat slim, Sony's promised to continually add to and evolve Home, with the hopes of turning the service into the only online space that gamers will ever want or need.

However, considering that the PlayStation Store for North America, the United Kingdom and Japan are significantly different from each other, it raised the question: would the experience within Home be any different? To get down to the bottom of that question, I spent a little time checking out the three spaces, taking a look at what's offered in each location and what happened to be missing. Who knows, maybe you'll find yourself exploring a different side (or different region) of Home.
