Boy, I think I watched the GDC 07 Home stage demo about 30 times since Mizuke showed it to me.
I can't wait to get my hands on Home and start making my own place. I also can't wait to see how the PS3 games work into it.
I'm ready to buy the Japanese House! Bring on Home!
Edit: Informaiton for those who don't know what is Home.
Sony's answer for the next generation online service for its PSN users. A 3D, physics based, highly customizable enviroment to help people to interact, chat, and play games. The avatars are completely customizable as well as your home, your private area that you could open up to the public or invite friend privately. Your avatar and your home can be customized by free downloadable items, buy additional highly designed items, or items opened up or achieved by buying and playing PS3 games. Your private home could also be a virtual room for your clan to hang around while your home is designed specifically around the game your clan plays.
Outside of your home, there's a community with an arcade lounge, a theatre, and your achievement room. The arcade lounge has the typical party games. Bowling and pool tables. The theatre shows the latest movie as well as user created movies. And your achievement room contains all your trophies, all the games you have, and videos of your achievements like when you killed the last boss or your fastest lap in a game. It doesn't just stop there. It branches out for each developer, publisher, or any company at all. Companies could designed their own Home area which is opened to the public to advertise your products.
