Home For The Holidays

As those of you who use a Playstation 3 as your primary Blu-ray player are probably aware, the much hyped Playstation Home has finally launched as an open beta available to the general public.

While Home may appear to be a watered down Second Life clone on the surface, Sony offers that Home will act as a social gathering place where gamers can get to know each other before they play together. In actuallity though, it's a place where male avatars can surround, dance on, and ultimately harass female avatars.

Still, with promised features such as the ability to share streaming audio and video and more game environments coming to (virtual) life as Home destinations, it's hard not to get a little geeked over what's to come.
