orangerfulSo, I decided to see what the Playstation HOME was all about, so I logged in and made my little avatar. I don't really get it. It's like the Xbox community but one step further (too far?) where you actually walk around as an avatar and talk to people. I dunno, it's a bit too Second Life for me.
And, because it is a video game world, as soon as a FEMALE avatar walks in, all the guys run up to you. No joke. Soon as my girl was wandering around in the Central Square, these two dudes are suddenly by my side all "Hello!" "Wanna dance?" "Have you been bowling?" And the funny part is, to initiate the text chat, you have to stand really close to the person, so not only are these random strangers talking to you, they are all up in your face! haha.
I swear, as I was logging out, I saw these two guys talking to a female avatar and these were the bubbles over there head -
"I'm a stay at home mom"
"u married?"
seriously guys?
I did go to the bowling alley though. There were some random mini-games in there. It was amusing but then I realized I was using my state-of-the-art PS3 to play the equivalent of Breakout so I left and went back to playing my real games.
We also figured out how to get my PSP to talk to the PS3...though we have no idea what they are supposed to be talking about. But apparently I can now download PSP demos thru my PS3 so that is pretty sweet.
Also, there needs to be a way to export your SackBoy in his/her current outfit to the internet so you can show off the adorableness. Ah well, I'll just take some literal screen shot with my camera next time she's striking a pose.
oh, and if you have a PS3 and want to be my Friend (not that I have many games yet) you know the username. *wink wink*
