Speaking to Three Speech, a sort of official unofficial PlayStation blog, a Sony spokesperson has provided some answers for those of use that claim the new Home service is simply a rip-off of Ninteno Miis, Second Life and Xbox 360 achievements. When asked if Home isn’t a rip-off of Xbox Live, the Sony representative said:
"Home is a first of its kind 3D community that allows for open interaction between consumers, SCE and third party partners. It is a truly interactive, global community of users. Xbox Live is a static, 2D, text-heavy environment that can’t match the rich community features found in Home. Xbox Live community interaction is much more passive and limited to the members on that friend’s list."threespeech.com/blog/?p=313peace

Not taking it personally, but if you ask me sony has killed its own brand. Like that song which KC posted.

I dunno why but I feel, sony sloooooooowly seems to be getting ahead in the race, if u ask me, their home looks awesome, I mean creating ur own avatar and hanging arnd ur frnds in a virtual world....man, its like playing sims online ! I'm impressed I hope MS comes with something like that soon, and yes compared to home/PS Network, XBL does pale in comparison with its $50 fee and all those confusing MS points and stuff...!

The Initial Concept of Home maybe Out of This World and it may be Free only to people who really are just going for a Ride... After you get Addicted to it, which IMO many will then there it starts again. You gotta buy stuff like your house furniture, clothes and lot more stuff. People like standing out in the crowd All in all, Home is Combination of great concepts and it has been made to look attractive as much as possible... God the Award Room just blew me away. Feels wierd comparing Xbox Achievements to PS3 Awards. Three cheers for Sony for moving into a great new postive direction x3

i dont know about u guys, but i feel tht paying for xbl is a rip off....we are already heavily overpaying for the console and all the games...and now to play online, using our own internet, we need to pay MS...!! unbelievable..!!
if sony's live feature is free then 3 cheers for sony...!!
