Resident Evil 5 Studio Lot

Overview
On PlayStation Home, a Resident Evil 5 hub can be accessed. It is named "Resident Evil Studio Lot", and is the first area in the game when starting from Chapter 1-1. The area has several photo's of Majini along with main characters, a studio van, camera's, chairs, and several buildings which, when examined from behind, are propped up stage displays indicating the idea that it is all just a movie. Several rooms that are inaccessible normally are replaced with studio equipment and can be visited. A large projection screen is placed near the area where in-game Majini assault a bag on the ground with blunt objects. The projection screen plays an endless loop of a trailer from Resident Evil 5.

Reynard is the only actual character to appear, giving the player a minigame where the player hunts for bugs and reports back to Reynard when one is found, and allowing the player into his butcher shop from the game which contains some behind the scenes material or explanations of some of the happenings in Resident Evil 5.

There is also an arcade machine inside one of the buildings. Walking up to the machine and activating it with the Resident Evil 5 disc inserted in the PlayStation 3, the game will boot. Upon exiting the game, the player will be redirected back to PlayStation Home and loaded back to the Resident Evil Studio Lot.

There are also several items one can obtain pertaining to Resident Evil 5 that can be unlocked in various methods. As well there is also a shop which sells a large multitude of items which can be purchased through PSN on PlayStation Home, such as full body costumes for men (Chris) and women (Sheva) along with various random T shirt designs.
