Nice writeup. There's certainly a lot more respect for the PS3 now than there was a year ago. I'll stick the DS for now :P
That 'Playstation Home' game you linked to was deeply disturbing to me. It seems like that developers are trying to create a utopian virtual world filled with socially 'normal' things like...chatting to people. Wow. Actually walking up to people in the street and talking to them! And furnishing your apartment! Imagine that! It's like someone creating a simulator for eating an orange.
Have we as a society become so socially detached that we need to recreate life inside a computer?! This is one step closer to a world where no-one leaves the house.
