Entirely 3D and based around the idea of personal "avatars," Home gives users the ability to walk around a virtual world where they can interact with their fellow gamers, view trophies earned for successful play, and take part in various multimedia activities.
Sony looks to be Taking the Mii Concepts and running with them. Great news IMO.

Myeah the Mii channel could use some improvement sometime soon, but I like that they keep it simple. And I think I prefer the humorous over the realistic style.

I still don't see why Sony overreacted against Kotaku posting this whole thing early.

Home actually sounds like a cool idea to me, I feel they should rename it the matrix though. :P

this is cool, i like the idea of customizing your own space and then have the ability to access anything on your HDD from that space...plus wander around and check out a movie, play a small arcade game or join up with others in a full game. very cool, i think this kinda thing will really show its potential down the road, too....couple years

i also saw some 4 player co-op platforming game that looked really fun...dont know its name. nice 3D graphics, but 2D platforming, all working together to get past obstacles and stuff...some really cool and realistic physics, looked like a lot of fun.

Don't think anyone here has a PS3 but this is where you can sign up sometime later to participate in Home beta testing.
