Sony has announced an addition to the online capabilities of the Playstation 3 at the Game Developers Conference (GDC).Playstation Home is the name of the new online community that will be available for the Playstation 3 in fall 2007 for no cost.
Basically Home put aspects of XBOX Live achievements, Nintendo's Mii's, and Second Life/There/The Sims together all in one package.
Home allows you to communicate with other people online with text or voice via a USB keyboard or bluetooth headset. You also get your own little home that you can decorate with furniture and wallpaper of your fancy. All this content will be with the game for free. It is not clear yet if the downloadable content off the Playstation network will cost money or not.
There will also be a hall for your own achievements in your games.
There will also be ways to challenge your friends in Home to games whether it be small mini-games or full games like Resistance or Blazing Angels.
One things for sure, there are a lot of people that are interested in online communities like Second Life, There, and the Sims and with the added detail that Sony has designed into Playstation Home they are sure to be excited to have a Playstation 3.
