GDC: Sony’s PlayStation Home ‘Lobby’ demo video

There’s been a lot of talk surrounding Sony‘s new PlayStation Home service ever since Phil Harrison demoed it at GDC. Well, actually, the talk started even before that with Kotaku’s Brian Crecente breaking the news all over the Intertubes, but that’s neither here or now.

Anyway, quite a few people have already gone and labeled the PlayStation Home as a rip off of Nintendo’s Mii system, including a Ninty spokesperson who said that it’s “an example of Sony’s ‘Mii-too’ approach.” While the two do share a few similarities, Sony’s PlayStation Home does have a few aces up its sleeve, most obviously its more advanced online world and avatar creation features.

Before we all go and pass judgment on the PlayStation Home, though, maybe we should all just sit tight and wait for it to actually go live. Or, if you’re impatient, you could just click on the “play” button in the embedded GameVideos video below and check it out for yourself.
