Playstation Home

Been a while since I posted on here so I thought it would be a great time to update you guys on playstation home :)

Home is basically going to be a bigger,badder,better version of Second Life which will run on the Sony Playstation platform.

First up, the shots below show a pretty amazing-looking harbour area where, presumably, you'll be able to set up as your virtual residence and live a fantasy world of luxury (while you secretly sob about your real life in rainy Britain).

When you start off, players will get a basic apartment in Home for free, but can buy new apartments, furniture and other extras with real money, REAL MONEY. Sony is yet to offer any estimates on how much these lush apartments in Home will cost, but if it's any more than a two-piece KFC meal (£3), you'll be seeing me in the virtual ghetto.

Opportunities are yet to be defined, but potentially we can have special branded areas (i.e. Shops, Sponsorships, etc) where consumers will be able to interact with branded content as well as potentially being able to purchase goods within the application.

Anyways these photos have been "leaked" and your in game champion with his finger on the pulse has brought them staight to the people that matter!
