Looks really nice, I won't probably buy a PS3 (yet) but that's cool.But that looks a bit like... GTA IV ? The clothes animations are very alike to Table Tennis' ones and it' coming in autumn...
Let me take a stab at downplaying this, as I prepare to be dugg down.I watched the whole video and it is beautiful. The indoors looked simply stunning. I will not argue with anyone saying this is an immersive environment. I will argue with someone saying its useful. Why would I want to go in a virtual world and walk to a theater when I could just download a video I want to watch? Why would I want to walk around to find random people to talk to? I want easy access to friends only and besides that I don't see why I'd care. Can I compare my achievements (trophies) to someone else's? I like checking out an opponent's achievements after I play them to get a better idea of their experience with the game...did I beat someone who got all the achievements in that game? Nice!Basically, why am I spending any time walking around a virtual world when I could be playing a game? I'll wait until the thing is out and I can try it and there are hands-on reviews before passing final judgment. But it seems to me to take everything I'd like easy access to and make it more complicated.
Its an amazing idea from sony and it looks absolutly amazing but if only we knew when it was coming out!! its been delayd liek 4 times now PSN ID: S-M-E-T-H-Y

If I was a 360 fanbot I would be building a glory hole in a truck stop bathroom and collecting tips to buy a PS3. XBOX Live just got owned by the PSN.

It sure is interesting, but it's obvious they stole Nintendo's Mii community. Nintendo is Sony's backbone.

Yes, sarcasm really is the operative word there. Less importantly, where I come from it's the equivalent of $1000.

I wonder if big businesses will be as receptive to advertising in this world as they are with the others like Second Life, There.com etc. Will be an interesting question to put to the virtual worlds conference (<a class="user" href="http://www.virtualworldsforum.com)">http://www.virtualworldsforum.com)</a> panel in London, in Oct 07
