Geezz... Whatever happened to inviting some friends over to play a game of Madden? All these simulated lives make me sick. People are going to end up spending their "life" on this thing and trick their mind into thinking that it's their real life! All it's doing is giving people yet another outlet to sit on their lazy ass all day.

On the other hand... If you're strictly using it to play a game or share multimedia with a real life friend every once in a while it's a great server for that purpose only.

that is amazing... people will never leave their homes to socialize

It's a virtual world. It's like the .0001 version of the Matrix.

"Comparable to Second Life, PlayStation Home is a virtual community of PS3 owners living together in both public and private environments. Users will be able to login, chat with both text and speech and play casual games together such as pool, bowling and even embedded arcade machines. And when the old stand-bys grow stale, users can invite one another into other PlayStation Network titles outside of PlayStation Home.

Every user will have their own virtual apartment to decorate with furniture, their trophies from various games (see: achievements) and content from their own PS3s. For example, Phil Harrison took a snapshot of us in the crowd, slapped it onto a USB stick and right into a picture frame in his virtual flat. Not content at just images, users will also be allowed to share both music and videos with friends inside their private homes, which will most likely lead to some sort of underground pornography syndicate on the PlayStation Network.

Check out video footage of PlayStation Home after the jump!

And while the download itself is free, users can choose to accentuate their looks with additional clothing for an unspecified fee. The PlayStation Home will also feature dynamic advertising -- the details of which are not currently known. A large scale beta for the service begins this April with the final product to see release this Fall."

Carlos-

Does this interest you from the technology standpoint or is it something you would use to socialize and meet new people?

Tech interest. There is no way I'm sitting in my bedroom on a virtual world pretending to have a life.

I think it's a pretty cool idea. They have a web cam so you can take a picture of yourself and add it to your virtual avatar and customize how they look. Skin tone, hair type, clothing. I didn't see an option for build. I'd make my avatar a bodybuilder. There is no way I'm walking around a virtual world tiny.

that sounds fun and kinda weird at hte same time...i cant really see myself spending money on virtual clothes....

but playing pool and bowling would be pretty cool

**StoneGRMI** · 03-07-2007, 01:08 PM

I figured you wouldn't use it for a social life! I just had to ask. It's a great idea and free network will sell them a lot of PS3's alone but I just hate the idea of more people sitting around getting fatter and fatter.

The best part is the service is free. They'll have a virtual area for music purchases, a movie theater to watch movie trailers and download movies.

When you watch the video and see the interaction the Matrix comes to mind.
