[QUOTE="-Super-Fly-"]Otherwise known as Home. I mean who is actualy going to waste their time in a Giant Lobby just to meet other PS3 players? Seriously they try and make it sound cool by letting you meet other people and playing with them online. Isn't that what most online games do anyway except you don't have to search for people that have the same game because they are already playing it.
Then the whole designing you house, Give me a break. If I wanted to play The Sims Online I would buy The Sims Online. I don't see why anybody would actually be excited about this. When I jump online I do it to play games not to join in a glorified chat room.
I can only hope that MS and Nintendo do not waste their time focusing on crap like this and focus more on good game, You know something that the PS3 could use.

Playstation Home is essentially a living world inside your console.
When you select it you will be dropped into a virtual world peopled by life-like avatars. From what we saw during a press screening, customization of these avatars is incredibly flexible, allowing you to create something that looks as much like you as you would want.

The apartment, and there are lots of different types, look very realistic and can be customized with real-world furniture, wallpaper, picture frames that show images from your harddrive, even televisions that stream your own original video content.
The idea, it seems, is that your apartment will become the nexus of your Playstation 3 experience. It is where you can listen to music, look at pictures, watch video, invite your friends over to talk and even go into multiplayer games together to play as a group.
"This could become your clan heaquarters," Harrison said. "From within home you can launch multiplayer games directly. You can then come back into home afterward and talk about it."
Next Harrison showed a more sophisticated apartment. This one had several levels, an outdoor deck and a much nicer design.
Home will also have other public spaces, like the Home Cinema, a sort of virtual movie theater complete with a large front lobby and separate screening rooms.
It's also possible for companies or publishers to create their own spaces. For instance Electronic Arts could create a space that shows off their current and upcoming games in a virtual world that looks more like a mall than a store

Sony says a lot of things only to be caught lying in the end. I will believe all that when I see all that.
