PS3 Home (Preview)
Navneet Prakash, Jan 08, 2008 1639 hrs IST
Here's a glimpse of what could be a mecca for gamers. Are you ready to come home to the gaming community?
With millions of unique users logging in every week, Facebook and Orkut are true Web 2.0 wonders. Social networking is the new addiction, and it's spreading like wild fire. If you're not hooked on to it yet, pretty soon it will catch up with you. Nevertheless, there are limitations to social networking; and if Sony's ambitious plans are to be believed, this phenomenon may soon include much more than scraps.
Summary
Let me bring Sony's Home to your notice, a unique initiative that may soon silence all its critics. It was announced last year in March; the service was supposed to go live in December but was eventually postponed for late 2008 release. Home is a virtual world, very vaguely similar to Second Life. In Home, every PS3 owner gets his own personal space or an apartment at no extra cost, which makes it even better.
Home is an avatar-based virtual world and every PS3 owner is invited. The service will be a free download, which rumors say will be around 500 MB in size. In this virtual neighborhood you'll make friends, chat, visit unique areas, and go shopping. Let's look at Home in more detail.

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