The Apartment Space
This is the coolest place in Home as you can customize it just the way you like it. Home includes little things for your apartment, like furniture, photo frames and wallpaper - all this can be chosen and placed as per your liking. The Virtual PSP can be used to perform all these actions and it's quite simple; it seems simple in the videos. The photo frames can be customized with your pictures that you save on the PS3 HDD. I remember Phil Harrison showing off another cool feature from his Sony cell phone in a conference. You can send a photo clicked on your cell phone on to your apartment photo frame from your cell phone.
Every user will get a basic Home, but you can upgrade to a bigger one with your own swimming pool, pool table, and even a fireplace. The bigger Home can have several rooms and they can be customized to a great extent. There are many leaked videos lurking around the Web wherein you can see all the closed beta users display the various features of Home. The apartment will also have a trophy room; here you can stack all your trophies that you get by unlocking them in any game, just like Xbox achievements. You can invite friends to your trophy room to show-off your collection.
Infinite Possibility
There are so many things you can do in Home, but unless we get our hands on a user account, we can't tell you about them. The limited information that we have has intrigued us and we wish we could explore this world even further.
An note: Unlike Second Life, Home looks really awesome in terms of graphics. Keep watching this space for more about Home.

Sony is been struggling to keep up the hype with empty promises for so long, is embarasing just to read about it.
