Veilcorp claims ownership of Xi, and anyone hunting for it is in violation of Veilcorp's rights."

"It's been awhile since we've heard anything from nDreams, the company behind the tremendously popular "XI" alternate reality game in PlayStation Home. However, it seems that that time may be coming to a close as Patrick O'Luanaigh, CEO of nDreams, has stated that a new project is forthcoming."
the fact that they are also working on two facebook games has me worried.....farmville in home would be a let down
Hmm, I think they're gonna have to top Sodium One. Even though that stuff wasn't completely free, it was pretty immersed with the Home assets.
nDreams has announced that Xi, the world's first console-based alternate reality game, has had over five million visits since it launched in March 2009.
The game ran for three months and also featured an Alumni area which has been live in Home since the main game finished, allowing users to experience some of the content and to find out what Xi was all about.
It's a Total BoT Free Zone
And i have my own BatCave
Thy Silly Little BoTs
What u think of them Figure's
yup.. i used to go there frequently. i still haven't finished it though. i've got last couple of missions to finish. )):
Yes Xi was a lotta fun in fact I replaced alot of my original psn buddies with people I actually spoke to within the Xi HOME Space. It was great meeting new people and getting help or guidance on the more tricky puzzles was good fun and enfazied what Home is all about (community). The new space "Pirate Galleon" sounds interesting and looking forward to that one with high anticapation.

I invested a bunch of time into Xi only to have the last Home update screw up and had to delete the Home application and lost everything.
Super lame.
Well, there is still more puzzle. After you complete Xi, there is a Alumni Xi Hub with another puzzle. The hub looks the same but as if a long time has passed.
It will be great if they can come up with something similar where you don't have to be there at specific times. More like you get more info once you completed a task. I liked the concept but I couldn't be there all the time.
i've invested quite a time in xi. some of the puzzles were too complicated for me. i had a great time though. sad that it's finally coming to an end. i wonder what's next!
Home is failing.. WAKE UP SONY.
Damnit!!
I want it to be a FUN Gamer-Centric addition to the PS3. Not some ARG crap for the 1,000 super nerds. Come on get the "Cool" factor going!!
