Doctor Who Playstation Home – Full Information
Doctor Who Playstation Home
For more information and image gallery visit www.doctorwho.tv
With thanks to BBC Worldwide…
From March 27, Doctor Who will come to life like never before in the virtual world of PlayStation Home – offering more than 31 million gamers the chance to interact with iconic elements, environments and costumes from the series.
You can deck yourself out in the Eleventh Doctor’s classic tweed jacket and bowtie outfit, and even accessorise with your very own Sonic Screwdriver. For prospective companions, there’s River Song’s catsuit, complete with PDA accessory – but, please don’t peek at her diary.
If you fancy being an alien, you can become a prehistoric Silurian or suit up as an ominous Silent. You can even acquire a Cybermat as a companion that will follow you around PlayStation Home (nanovirus – fortunately – not included).
No Doctor Who experience would be complete without the TARDIS, which will be available as both a private estate and clubhouse where you can join your fellow fans and explore the wonders of the TARDIS – and trust us, it’s BIG.
The expansive TARDIS private space and clubhouse is unlike anything Home fans have seen before and comes equipped with a LOOT Active Camera so you and your friends can capture your adventures and seamlessly upload them to your YouTube account. Fans can catch video content and shop for Doctor Who items – both virtual and real – via LOOT’s Entertainment on Demand system.
“We’re really excited to be bringing this much-loved series to social and virtual worlds,” said Simon Hutson, senior vice president digital development at BBC Worldwide.
“We are committed to preserving the spirit and aesthetic of Doctor Who while introducing this historic franchise to PlayStationHome” said David Sterling, vice president of business development, LOOT Entertainment. “It’s the same Doctor Who millions have loved for 50 years—with a virtual, interactive, and social twist.”
In celebration of the series’ 50th Anniversary, additional Doctor Who themed virtual goods, environments and social experiences will be added to Doctor Who on PlayStation Home throughout 2013.
So, what are you waiting for? Visit PlayStation Home and the LOOT store and begin your wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey adventures today.

March 26th, 2013 - 2:20pmThis looks so awesome! Unfortunately I don’t have a playstation of any sort or any other games console whatsoever and when I run games on my computer there is a lot of laaaaaaaaaag.
Liam

doctorpond393
March 25th, 2013 - 7:23pmNo it’s not. It’s one of the playstation home’s own customisable characters dressed as river song.
DrAmyRoryRiverBANG
March 25th, 2013 - 7:06pmBooBoo will they actual do something like this for XBOX,coz they done nothin for that but everything else.
The Master
March 27th, 2013 - 5:39pmMicrosoft won’t get anything from the BBC, because they tried to steal the BBC iPlayer.
auton101

doctorpond393

TARDIS
March 25th, 2013 - 10:11pmBecause that’s what she wears in the eternity clock game 🙂
trenzalore
March 25th, 2013 - 10:18pmoh, I haven’t got any of the games and to be honest I don’t realy understand this
josh smith
March 25th, 2013 - 4:54pmdr who games are terrible i own 2
i have the return to earth ones and the top trumps games
they should make a classic game where you command aermies and battle races like daleks v cybermen in classic eris or ogrons vrs dragonions or unit vrs axons
Boodleoo
March 25th, 2013 - 5:37pmThe eternity clock was quite good
josh smith
March 25th, 2013 - 6:11pmthats not for wii or pc or xbox
crazy guy
March 25th, 2013 - 6:28pmactually the pc version has been released

Scott the Raptor
March 26th, 2013 - 8:41amHe didn’t say they for Wii, PC or Xbox.
josh smith
March 25th, 2013 - 4:53pmxbox is better
drjakeyoung
March 25th, 2013 - 4:57pm360 maybe but i have just researched about the new 720 and the PS4 and i have got to say (price wise, game play and memory)the PS4 is going to be 10 times better! (only because the 720 has had a big delay as the factory in India who made them had a massive malfunction with the chips).
Joe
March 25th, 2013 - 5:19pmXbox is not better.
PS3 has free online, Xbox does not. Xbox is a terrible gaming platform, full of little annoying kids.
Scott the Raptor
March 25th, 2013 - 5:28pmAgreed. PlayStation is much better.
Boodleoo
March 25th, 2013 - 5:38pmI have both and agree that playstation is better
Space Fish
March 25th, 2013 - 5:39pmBut the controls on the X Box controller are better, though PS Graphics are better
josh smith
March 25th, 2013 - 6:10pmno you have to pay for PS4 online and it will be more expensive you points are in valid id much rather pay for a beeter online
auton101
March 25th, 2013 - 6:26pmplaystations cortollers annoy me. dont like them. ps3 let themselves get hacked hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scott the Raptor
March 25th, 2013 - 6:36pmXbox controllers are too fat and fiddly for me. Do you not remember the Xbox hacking last year?
josh smith
March 25th, 2013 - 6:42pmmy xbox was never hacked ?
Planet Dalek
March 25th, 2013 - 6:43pmand ive never touched either off them!!!
Planet Dalek
March 25th, 2013 - 6:46pmCan anyone tell me what pshome is?
Scott the Raptor
March 25th, 2013 - 8:38pm1000 Xboxes were hacked last year.
TARDIS
March 25th, 2013 - 10:13pmPs3 is so much better 😉
Scott the Raptor
March 25th, 2013 - 11:26pmYep! 😆
drjakeyoung
March 26th, 2013 - 9:40amyou don’t have to pay for PS4 online. I already checked that, it will be like the PS3.
Anonymous
March 29th, 2013 - 8:13pmps3s r better by far
drjakeyoung
March 25th, 2013 - 4:40pmdoes anyone know if this will be released on the new PlayStation 4 that comes out in October?
DavidH
March 25th, 2013 - 4:47pmI’d imagine that if Home is on the PS4, you will be able to transfer your purchases over to it
Doctorpond393
March 25th, 2013 - 3:35pmSo do you have to pay for it then?
UDWF1
March 25th, 2013 - 4:15pmAssuming so.
videogamemad00
March 25th, 2013 - 11:08pmPlaystation Home environments are free. If you want costumes, accessories etc. you have to pay.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
March 25th, 2013 - 3:07pmAnyone else reminded of a Doctor Who game that came out in the early 80’s / 90’s that had a Dalek moving around inside the corridors of the Tardis ?.
And who exactly is that man and woman in the video ?, cos it sure aint the 11th Doctor and River Song, plus this should have the new Tardis Console Room, not the previous 2010 version [talk about keeping up to date].
Doctorpond393
March 25th, 2013 - 3:18pmYes but when they were designing it the new console room wouldn’t have been released to anyone.
DOCTOR WHO ONE
March 25th, 2013 - 3:58pmGuess so yeah, guess this was made before the new Console was introduced.
Planet Dalek
March 26th, 2013 - 6:20pmDestiny of the doctor/s.
I cant remember if it had an s on the end.
DYM Official
March 25th, 2013 - 2:44pmOnly checked out PS Home today, quite excited about this!
doctorpond393
March 25th, 2013 - 12:23pmSO WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS? i’M A BIT CONFUSED
mr
March 25th, 2013 - 3:55pmA bundle. I have never used Playstation Home, but I guess that there is a TARDIS map, a Cybermat, a Silurian costume and a Silent costume. Then there is a Doctor outfit and River Song’s catsuit outfit.
Tay
March 21st, 2013 - 7:40pmPlease , Please make an Xbox version of eternity clock :'( but even though I don’t own a PS3 this sounds cool 😛
harraseda

UDWF1
March 21st, 2013 - 7:15pmThe Eternity Clock 2? Hope it’s on PC. Still haven’t finished 1 though.
dalek eternal
March 22nd, 2013 - 8:30amwhat level you own ive completed it twice to find trophies but i find the silence level the hardest where u have to steal the stasis field from them unfortunately theres a trohpy for doing it all in one go which i cant to it seems impossible
handbot10
March 23rd, 2013 - 11:09ami havent finished it either its actually quite hard at some parts
mr
March 25th, 2013 - 3:56pmI’m up to the part when the Cybermen come from the side of the screen, so not very far.
dalek eternal
March 21st, 2013 - 5:30pmi would like to see a new dr who game to follow on from the eternity clock they cants just leave it on a cliffhanger
Boodleoo
March 21st, 2013 - 5:20pmPlaystation home isn’t the best thing ever but I’m guessing it will be a place just for doctor who like the little big planet room but not as good because it’s not directly from playstation
John Smith
March 21st, 2013 - 8:08amI’m more of an X-Box and P.C player. Judging by what we’ve seen, I think this is obviously to help celebrate the 50th.
Give me a Dalek anyday
March 21st, 2013 - 7:24amAn 11 Doctors video game? Lets all hope so!!
mr
March 21st, 2013 - 7:03amFrom the trailer, you cannot guess what it is.
I’m guessing Doctor Who and Playstation Home, and it’s coming soon, but that’s it.
USA FAN
March 20th, 2013 - 10:57pmIt’s probably a TARDIS environment that you can purchase so that you can hang out with your playstation network friends online. They will probably have character skins as well for your personal avatar. A few years ago they had something similar for Star Wars. You could hang out in the Cantina with other network members. You could also buy different costumes for your avatar, like stormtroopers or Boba Fett.
Mels
March 21st, 2013 - 5:48amMost likely. Should be interesting either way.
DavidH
March 21st, 2013 - 4:11pmYes, that’s most likely. I hardly ever use Home but might spin it up again if this isn’t too expensive
Anonymous
March 20th, 2013 - 10:39pmWould this have anything to do with the eternity clock?
Doctor Stu
March 20th, 2013 - 10:56pmThat’s what I’m thinking
Blake
March 21st, 2013 - 2:59amPerhaps a sequel?
pathdw98
March 21st, 2013 - 3:21amI may be wrong on this (someone please correct me if I am), But didn’t they say that The Eternity Clock was the first of 3 games for PS3?
Mels
March 21st, 2013 - 5:49amYes, it’s the first of 3. Though I’m wondering what’s happening with the sequels to the game now, since the ps4 has been announced and isn’t backwards compatible. (Whether they’ll release the rest for ps4, or stick with the ps3).
Doctor Stu
March 20th, 2013 - 10:39pmIt could be a Doctor who game and this is just a sneak preview of what’s to come.
Mr Byzantium
March 20th, 2013 - 10:35pmwhat has this to do with dr who?
the man from outer space
March 28th, 2013 - 1:33ami dunno?
Sugar doc
March 20th, 2013 - 10:22pmWhat is it exactly a noise you can have on you ps3 ??
