The London Pub personal space is now available on PlayStation Home for £3.99, which is said to provide "all the banter but obviously none of the booze." Erm...
So you can't even buy virtual beer, get virtually pissed and watch your avatar stumble to his other Home space via the virtual kebab shop or anything. Sounds rubbish.
But for those of you interested in paying to go to a virtual pub that doesn't sell beer, here's the full PR:
VEEMEE, an independent creator of branded and original content for games platforms and virtual worlds, are pleased to announce that The London Pub, the first virtual London pub, has gone on sale today 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 release of The London Pub, Kirk Ewing, Creative Director at VEEMEE said, "It's always nice to inject a bit of humour into the games industry. In a virtual pub you can get all the banter but obviously none of the booze. In The London Pub in Home we always encourage people to 'Think Responsibly'!"
To celebrate the launch of The London Pub, VEEMEE has teamed up with Unicorn, makers of the world's finest dartboards, to give away 30 real Eclipse Pro Dartboards in the first 30 days to anyone who plays the multi-player darts game in the virtual pub and tops the pub darts leader board in PlayStation Home.
