With the revealing of Sony's new Home system at the GDC, there have been many people quick to point out the similarities it bares with Xbox Live and the Wii's Mii. However, when I saw the introduction videos, the first thing it made me think of was Second Life. Sure enough as the video went on, there's no mistaking how much Home resembles an ostensibly working (and much prettier) version of Second Life.
Factor in the ability to download new items for your private house area and invite people over, you've pretty much got the same basic idea. Despite this obvious move to fill all the holes in the PS3 on-line system, it does look like something that could genuinely attract a few people, though Second Life is free to download, and the entrance fee for Home is at least $400.
