The concept is strikingly similar to Linden Lab's "Second Life," a Web-based phenomenon with nearly 4.5 million residents. But Sony's world will feature heavy doses of video games for avatars to play, as well as virtual arcades, music and other Sony-approved media downloads.<br /><br />Sony will launch a beta version in April and officially debut "Home" this fall as a free download at PlayStation's online store.</blockquote><a href="http://www.latimes.com/technology/consumer/gamers/la-fi-briefs8.6mar08,1,5646738.story?coll=la-business-games" rel="nofollow">more</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7247818986922783974-2255958022504314499?l=shvedova.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminnoreply@blogger.com1
