Are you getting bored with Home? Running out of things to do? It seems as though the Producers of Home in Hong Kong have found a great solution in solving those problems.

Unveiled today on the Official Asia PlayStation site is a newly formed contest that has Home participants hunting down mysterious avatars in hopes of winning virtual money. According to the website, several posters have been scattered across Home, but only a specific poster reveals the correct URL in order to obtain clues as to who the "Wanted" avatar is.

The current prize is set as HK$10, which is roughly $1.50 USD. While this may not be enough to purchase anything fantastic, it does give users the chance to pick up some new duds from Home, free of charge. We're aware that this is currently only available to those in Singapore and Hong Kong, though we’re hoping Sony may offer something similar to North American users.

    If you get lucky yes.  That could potentially be alot of people to say hi to.

    Haha, I don't think I would make a major pursuit out of it, but the idea of bounty hunting is appealing in kind of a humerous way.
