QUOTE
Moving to enhance its PlayStation 3 game console, Sony today plans to announce new online capabilities for it, meant to draw gamers into Sony’s cyberspace community and allow them to share entertainment content they have created, à la YouTube.


QUOTE
The centerpiece, a new service called PlayStation Home, is to become available to consumers in the fall, said senior game industry executives, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the plans. PlayStation Home is meant to build on and surpass somewhat similar offerings from Sony’s competitors Microsoft and Nintendo by allowing users to create persisting online identities that record players’ achievements in different games. As players progress through a game, they will unlock various virtual prizes that they can then show off to friends and rivals, the executives said.


QUOTE
“The packaged media approach on its own offers a closed experience,” he said. “You can only enjoy the game experience that the game developer put on that disc. But with the increase in adoption for the Internet and also the increased bandwidth, the Internet has democratized the audience to become content creators, as well as content consumers, and create what I call emergent entertainment. We’ve seen that with things like MySpace and YouTube and Flickr. Now we want to take those kinds of collaborative experiences and make them more central to the gameplay experience.”


So basically a little virtual world that collaborates some of the basic ideas of 360's and Wii's "communities" so far.

And I have no idea if that picture is real, I just see it everywhere.

Although that won't really raise their current status in the gaming industry...

I wonder how similar it will be with Miis

I couldn't care less until they start retailing at £20 £10 a piece.

But it's not like I didn't expect the PS3 to launch something that tries to utilise other people's efforts again. I tell you that Boomerang E3 controller's the best thing they've done with the console, and even that's been re-made.

I actually laughed rather loudly when I heard that woman say it's far more exciting than anything else on other consoles.

In other words, this looks incredibly dull. Technically it's probably very nice, but look at the characters - even THEY don't look as though they want to be there.

It actually looks good but the fact it's a complete ripoff of many things kills it for me.

Has Nintendo ever sued anyone? Cause if there was a time to do it, It'd be now.

Doubt it, they look nothing like Mii's. They look more like the sims or something. Also I doubt nintendo would sue over such a small thing.

That is the best screenshot ever. Just shows who's going to be hanging around on there.

Sony typically does this: take an idea started by another company and refine it. If this thing was on the 360 or the Wii, everyone would be praising it and bowing down to it, but the fact that it's made by Sony is making everyone's gut reaction be "This is horrible". The fact it's even on the PS3 in the first place dooms it though.

That being said this is really unoriginal.

I think the 3D achievement thing is kinda cool. Sounds nicer than the 360's achievements anyway.

great, there not content with screwing up by only stealing some ideas from Microsoft and Nintendo, now there taking more and screwing up even worse! Microsoft and Nintendo sould file a joint-lawsuit, with the two of them working together, Sony wouldn't stand a chance.

You can't really sue for something like this, it isn't even that similar to Miis.

If there's a price drop in that week as well, PS3-a-go-go!
