Red Bull as a brand is no stranger to gaming appearing in many games over the years from WipEout on the PlayStation 1 to Guitar Hero 3 and many many in between. So when the marketing guys at Red Bull heard Sony have a new system that will allow 3rd parties to create spaces and promote their products you can bet they were among the first to knock on Sony’s door and say we’ll have a piece of that thanks very much.

So what exactly is an energy drink going to bring to home? Well Red Bull sponsor more events then i can list, they run many of their own and have chosen to throw in the Red Bull Air Race as their gaming link. The Red Bull space will have a tropical island feeling to it and you’ll get to fly a plane in a game based on the Air Race. Many people have jumped to the conclusion that this will be homes very own Flight Simulator but it’s more likely to be a 2D game either side scrolling or like Pilot wings on the SNES running on a now familiar Arcade Cabinet. Newer games in home have featured rewards so at a guess (and remember this is a guess) you can possibly expect the following prizes to be included:

* Red Bull T-Shirt
* Red Bull Air Race Plane Statue
* Virtual Can of Red Bull (product placement at it’s best, people putting cans in their apartments and clubhouses)
* A pair of wings that can be worn by your avatar (Red Bull has been claiming for years that it gives you wings, so now faced with the possibility of actually being able to do this, will they go for it?)

Like i said, these are just guesses but they’re also pretty likely ones based on past prizes and red bulls promotional campaigns.

There have been a number of hints dropped by sony suggesting this will be a full 3D flight sim mini game running on the home engine… i cant talk about some of these hints as they’re from private conversations, but i will share a quote from everyones favorite home community manager ;)
