    Playstation Home Video Teaser

    http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?mid=17559 Here’s a clip of Playstation Home in action, just for you. This is either the most amazing thing in the world or another misstep.

    Playstation Home Service Announced

    Sony is looking to compete with both Nintendo’s Mii Channel and Second Life it seems.

Sounds a little bit like part Animal Crossing mixed with Second Life rather than a copycat version of Nintendo’s Mii. There’s also a way for you to create your own games with a service called LittleBigPlanet that’ll be coming out around the same time as Playstation Home. This is what Sony really needs to push the PS3 into the hands of many and to make it a more welcome console in the gaming world.
