PS3's "Home" Service

[Ghostly_Substance]

I'll just quote what I said from Hookedonspore and mentioned on Petroglyph Forums

 

Well some of you may say Sony is copying the Wii's "Mii" and well Sony is yes they even admitted to it. But they also said they made it into their own style so its not a direct copy like the Xbox 360 bashers would claim it to be. Please do try to be neutral since it makes you look intelligent and if you bash I hate you  ;D

 

First of all for those that don't know this program is free online world for the PS3 where you meet with other gamers and socialize. You get an apartment and you can customize it with free online content (or game content if possible). You get contents from the PS3 games like shirts or hats (maybe even statues and models cars?). Well this feature is still in progress and Sony will constantly update it so you can socialize in there. Think of it like a lounge before you go into a game and an online living profile in one. From Home you can launch into a game and back into it with friends or alone. You can even post pictures in the apartment and stream music & Videos. I'll stream my anime videos to people  ;D
