[Shrygue]

Wow, that is one impressive preview of PlayStation 3 Home, very good to see.

[yaustar]

Holy crap! Sony are actually going about this the right way to challenge Xbox Live!. Considering the Second Life success, this should be a huge hit.

[BrooksyX]

Wow I must admit, I am actually impressed with the PS3 for once.

[bullhead]

Wow, this looks promising indeed!

bull, x.

[Malksta]

I was having second thoughts about buying a PS3.. Now, my mind is set =).

I just saw this

Q: Will I be able to attend ticketed (paid-for) special events?
Yes, in time Home will play host to many types of event. Bespoke events such
as exclusive game previews and developer interviews will be organised by
Home and its affiliated content providers. Live events such as sports and
concerts may also be broadcast within Home.


Q: Is Home a PS3 specific service? Will users be able to access Home
through other devices?
Initially Home will only be accessible via that PLAYSTATION®3, although
over time our intention is to enable users to interface certain Home features
and services via other networked devices such as PlayStation®Portable
(PSP®) and mobile phones.

Q: Would we be able to showcase bespoke events such a live broadcast
of a multiplayer game?
Absolutely - it would even be possible to replicate a game that is being played
by two players together on one PS3, replicating their avatars and movements
on the "world stage". This could be an invitational match, with users paying to
view the event live.

Nice :thumbup:

They are just ripping off Nintendo Miis. They copied that idea from the Nintendo Wii system because they are losing sales to Nintendo.
Nintendo>Sony

Sony had this all planned out before E3 2005, so no, they aren't copying the idea from Nintendo. Besides, I'd say it's more like the sims only better.

lol, Nintendo was planning the Miis on their Wii system YEARS before Sony ever even thought of Sony HOME. LOL

[DPyro]

You can't accuse them of copying Nintendo. Nintendo 'miis' are useless characters and Nintendo is still treating online like shit.

That is false and just a lie. Mii were not a long time running development idea. Home has been in development for quite some time. I've even heard word from a few sources the project started out even ealier on the ps2.

Home is in no way a copy of Mii. Any argument twards that idea is just ignorant fanboyism.

Wow I must admit, I am actually impressed with the PS3 for once.

Same here, the Wii and 360 have both brought a lot to the table as far as innovation goes. It looks as if the PS3 will finally be bringing some new innovative ideas to the gaming world as well. A good reason to get a PS3. :D

Yep. There was an interview with Phil Harrison who said they had been working on Home since the PS2 days.

[Cloudhunter]

I really wish I had enough money for a PS3 :( But, I got a holiday to think of.

Quote from your front page :
*****************

Home was in development the same time GoWII was.

******************

GoW2 was just released today and was in development for about a year. Nintendo Wii Miis have been in development for over 4 years.
