I truely don't get the PSHome

It is a sad day when Microsoft is showing off Fable 2, Forza 2, Bioshock, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, and Mass Effect yet Sony fans hype the PSH as the determining factor in the console war.

Since when does a MySpace/2nd Life/The Sims rip-off change anything when it comes to videogaming? Did I miss something? Why would people want to turn on their videogame console and walk around this virtual lobby and talk to strangers? Why not just go to a chat room, or MySpace, or, God forbid, OUTSIDE? Is it so they can go to other peoples virtual apartments instead of their actual apartments? Is it so they can see what movies these strangers watch, instead of just talking to them regularly?

I just don't get it?

You can play that now...It's called Second Life.
