PlayStation Home (Open Beta) was released on December 11, 2008. It contains avatars, clothes, 3D world, games (e.g. chess and bowling), video screens and video theaters, shopping center, etc. Now Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 3 all have avatars. If you compare the avatar systems, Wii has the most simple avatars and PS3 most realistic. In Wii and Xbox 360 you can use avatars in games that support avatars. You can view some avatar samples for all those three consoles on my home page.
