Wow im actually considering buying one now.. Unfortunately the console is compltely backward compatible so im not sure + rep if i can :-)
This is another total rip off.
It's Miis + Second Life.
Sony is sooo unoriginal. I'm sorry, I don't like to sound so fanboyish, but Nintendo needs to call them out on this one (I think Miyamoto already did by calling Mii-too or something).
If anyone buys a PS3 because of the PS Home... that's terrible. Sony lacks any imagination.
It's fascinating, but if I wanted to find friends and so on, I would go straight for them, rather than spend about 30 minutes walking around, getting lost. So I am guessing Xbox is the better one for this?
I'm gonna buy a PS3 in May-August. Once they drop.
But now Im nintendo
Yeah my birthday falls in July and im asking for money then so hopefully it'll drop in price :]
Another nintendo rip.... I also agree its a rip of second life. Wow imaginative sony should team up with microsoft as like sony microsoft rips of mac os
thats awesome im getting a ps3 anyway but i want it more now
Looks cool, can't say this will make me buy a PS3 tho for the insane money it costs.
I guess you don't know that Apple "rip" aka steal from other places? The iPod scrolling technology, stolen from Creative, who brought out the first Hard-drive media player known as the Creative Zen. Windows had side bars before Windows 95. Mac OS never had this until now and Windows have just brought it back.Quote:

I just don't see the appeal to be honest, if I wanted to wander round some rooms and buy furniture i'd play Habbo. I'd rather just sit in a game lobby and meet people.
I dont like it.
Wow it seems more like Sony have answered to MMOCC's like Second life or dare I say it, the popular Sims games, rather than Xbox Live! I definetly wont be buying a PS3 and this has actually encouraged me not to buy one for a child of the future. I'd shoot any parent who even bought their son/daughter this vile piece of "technology". :)
But then I am a bit of a Microsoft/Xbox fanboy so think what you like as my opinion may be biast..
Oh ye, a total Nintendo rip :S
Mii's are nothing like that.
It's that the Miis are exactly like that, it's that ultimately they are the same thing and Nintendo thought of it first, and now Sony wants in.Quote:

cars aren't going to be drasticly different are they? They get you from A to B. It's a transport method. You can't upgrade the 'graphics' on a car can you? You can't be very original about how it works because people wouldn't be quick to accept the new style or whatever.Quote:

And Wii's haven't been that long, I don't think Sony would have bought a Wii, seen Mii's and produced their own copy of it in so little time unless Sony have a spy team.
Im sure they have and as i said n64 DD [Japan only] had a system like the miis where you put yourself in the games and that was in like 2000Quote:

They do have quite a bit in common.. :P This idea of avatars is a complete copy of the MMOCC market in my opinion and Sony/Nintendo are in fact, using it for their consoles as they've identified that more people are going on computers to play MMOCCs such as Habbo Hotel & Second Life, leaving their Wiis and PS3s to wither away.
As we have said it is a copy of second life but also the wii and their miis if nintendo hadnt done it, niether would sony.Quote:

If Sony did copy, which I'm not sure about, they don't need to buy, or even see Miis in action. They could just hear from somewhere that Nintendo have an avatar feature.
Apple probably did this with Creative when they stole the Zen technology for scrolling.
True but i bet sony have a fair few wiis for research.Quote:

Bah, its a bit of a joke calling home a rip of second life, there are 1000s of games like that, the graphics are made to look semi-relatistic, as people all look somewhat simlar, all the games make people look somewhat simlar.
Plus who cares, its a great feature and one people will buy in to. Its not the end of the world if it was ripped from else where "/
Im buying a PS3 when they come out. That looks good =]
No, but Sony is beginning to be a problem. They ripped the motion sensing straight from Wii and now this.Quote:
