Sony is delaying Home for Playstation 3 yet again. Eh, just as well, just means I won’t be buying a PS3 any time soon. While Home is not what one might think of as a killer app, especially with established virtual worlds like Second Life and There already available, it is a for me a sufficiently compelling reason to consider completing my set of current generation game consoles. I really want to see Sony succeed in creating a compelling and easy to use virtual world, something as immersive and engaging as The World of .hack fame. Second Life is inching closer, but having to run on the PC may ultimately be slowing down their progress as the client has to accomodate a wide variety of configurations. I can only hope that the Xbox 360 will eventually get in on some of this virtual world action.
