having just watched Sony's little spiel from GDC I have reached several conclusions.

PS3 Home is undoubtedly a good idea. It seems well implemented and looks likely to be a great success and a lot of fun. However. What I am worried about is that the focus on microtransactions will become too high, and PS3 Home will start to become too much like real life i.e HARD WORK. If I want a stunning virtual appartment, that means spending a great deal of money on virtual items that I don't really need, but would feel pressured into purchasing from the strength of the PS3 Home network.

Whilst it is easy to dismiss this as a gimmick and a copy of The Sims/Second Life, PS3 Home does strike me as a step forward, albeit one that is going to be filled with controversy over the coming months. It is all well and good to have an interesting and unique online service, but perhaps what Sony should have focused on is the criminal lack of GAMES available at the moment for their system, and THEN focused on bringing in a new online service for its customers. After all, what is the point in having the best online service unless you've got the software to back it up with?
