Sony To Launch Online Virtual World For PS3 [informationweek.com]

Sony on Wednesday said it would launch its online 3-D social networking service, Home, Dec. 11, ending months of delay in the long-awaited service for users of the company's PlayStation 3 video-game console.
Home is similar to Linden Lab's Second Life in that it lets people create virtual characters, or avatars, to interact in cyberspace. PlayStation 3 users will be able to join the virtual world through a free software download.

I haven't seen or tried it yet but in reading that description I yawned. If I want to "interact in cyberspace" I'll log into warcraft and interact with force or log into facebook and interact with friends.

Entering the market this late means needing something "new" but If it was written in there, I missed it.
