That is pretty freakin' sweet! It's kinda like a fancy, advanced myspace for PS3. This could be great if it takes off...

(BTW - I do not use MySpace...)

it seems like a copy of sims...but with the possibility of becoming better than the sims.

Looks like a complete ripoff of second life. Same idea but with updated graphics. They are both overglorified chatrooms...

Blurb cut and pasted from the Second Life website:

Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by a total of 4,485,622 people from around the globe.

• From the moment you enter the World you'll discover a vast digital continent, teeming with people, entertainment, experiences and opportunity. Once you've explored a bit, perhaps you'll find a perfect parcel of land to build your house or business.
  
• You'll also be surrounded by the Creations of your fellow residents. Because residents retain the rights to their digital creations, they can buy, sell and trade with other residents.
  
• The Marketplace currently supports millions of US dollars in monthly transactions. This commerce is handled with the in-world unit-of-trade, the Linden dollar, which can be converted to US dollars at several thriving online Linden Dollar exchanges.

Welcome to Second Life. We look forward to seeing you in-world.

Sony Online Entertainment released Star Wars Galaxies in 2003 which has all the options of "Home" plus a lot more. The difference was it was based off of Star Wars and was an actual MMORPG. I wouldn't say it was a complete ripoff.

Although this is a brilliant idea...its just a little too creepy for my taste.
