Photo Sharing, Buzz! Game Space Coming to Home, Today!
The PlayStation Blog was just updated letting fans of Home know that starting today, you'll be able to share photos with your friends within the virtual world. This feature was announced long ago as something they were working on, but now its here.
Also, Sony is releasing the Buzz! Game Space where you'll get to hang out and play with some triva game. There's also a way to get your own Buzz quizzes into the game through their website.

Photo sharing, the first feature to support user-generated content, is finally coming to PlayStation Home! Starting today, Thursday, June 4th, you’ll be able to purchase picture frames in the Mall, upload photos from your hard drive or select from a gallery of default pictures, and then display them in your personal apartments. So if you’ve got photos from your latest game tournament that you want to share, all you have to do is upload them, choose the angle and size options for display, and then invite your friends back to your Home pad for your viewing party. Awesome!
But that’s not all! As usual, we have more exciting content updates coming today, including the highly-anticipated launch of the brand-new Buzz! game space. Get ready to strain your brain and freak your mind with this fast-paced, interactive quiz game. You’ll have to work with your friends and fellow community members to answer the questions lickety-split (hint: some organized sprinting may be necessary). Join the Home Community Management team in the Buzz! Space throughout the day where we’ll be challenging you to a game or three. Be sure to visit the MyBuzz website to discover what it takes to get your own quizzes into the Buzz! game space for future challenges.
Everyone queue up your funny and inappropriate photos!
Let me get this straight: I gotta PAY to share pictures? PER PICTURE, on top of that?
Yup, avoid home at all cost, ANYTHING cool will nickel and dime you to death. If they are doing this with PICTURES, I do not even want to know what they are planning with music and videos.
Sony really lost their minds. Overpriced console, overpriced psp go (that does not even have a second anolog stick, fugly, and does not support the physical umd game you might have), creating home which is boring but sony is still charging people money for VIRTUAL items. I remember when sony was cool, those days are long gone.

Except when you jump into Home plenty of people have paid for the virtual items and spend a significant amount of time playing the free content on offer. The service was no mistake.
It is also entirely unrelated to the PSP Go which is priced very competitively when compared to the 16gb iPod Touch.
Unrelated to your post but the PS3 has multiple options for free photo sharing which can be done while inside Home. If this was being released before in-game XMB it'd be a pretty shitty move but as it stands it is merely another feature for those who enjoy the service and want to further customize it.
