[QUOTE="Puckhog04"]Is there no information on if it's unified or not (in name, friends list, recent players, etc.)? If it's not unified and those features aren't unified then it's essentially PS2 online with the bells and whistles of XBL but without the one thing that makes XBL what it is, a Unified service.
That would still make XBL better by a large margin if it doesn't have unified services.

Still curious if there's a unified name, friends list, recent players, etc.
[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"]Wow, Nintendo's Kiddy Mii's and XBox Live just got owned all in just one video.

Yeah, you see thats how business works. Take a good idea and improve on it and you can make millions.
Ripped off, improved, and done the right way. The non-kiddy way.

And for $600, that's still the stumbling block for PS3[QUOTE="Puckhog04"][QUOTE="Puckhog04"]Is there no information on if it's unified or not (in name, friends list, recent players, etc.)?

Because i want to know. If there isn't these features then i still don't see it on the same level as XBL despite the "virtual home" social area. I just want to know. :)
I suppose i'll just take the fact that no one is answering as a sign that none of the above are unified and XBL would still be superior due to it being an actual unified service. Heh.
[QUOTE="Timesplitter14"]I think Sony just won the war....Ontainlets wait till it actually comes out and see how it works (what you have to pay for) we should all be skeptical about anything that sony promises before it's released. What do you think people have to pay for?

I really don't see a "virtual home" social area as winning the war either...which is about the only thing this has over XBL (if PSH is unified with a unified friends list, etc) other than price.

I think Sony just won the war....Timesplitter14AS i've said in another thread, lets not get ahead of ourselves, this is a neat feature but Sony still need to deliver it with a moderate amount of success. They are the masters of Hype and do tend to lie a lot, nothings changed but hopefully the negativity towards the PS3 will decrease. They have won nothing.

It says in the trailer that it's completly free except the bonus clothes for your avatar
Why are people saying it won't be free? Nobody is forcing you to buy the inevitable new cool clothes etc. they'll obviously make and charge you for. They'll have a standard set of stuff, with everything else having a cost to it, I don't see a problem unless you really care about how your avatar looks.A2DWe'll you are in a sense making what you want people to perceive you as, In this Virtual World. As silly as this may sound vanity will make people download the $3 Jordans or whatever Sneaker is hip at the time. I mean think about the Possibilities of this..(Product Placement)...Let's get Nike on board,Tommy Hilfiger,Crate and Barrel,Polo,Honda,Etc all the big names in Fashion and Electronics....Don't you think many people will be Downloading the Nike Sneakers that just came out....Just so they won't be that Virtual guy running around with a pair of Virtual Generic Payless Shoe Source Sneakers.....LOL...I know it sounds silly, but it is the truth. But like you said you do have the choice.

There'll obviously be clothing and furniture for free.

What do you think people have to pay for? well i read they mentioned apartment. and then stuff for your apartment. the music you want to play in your apartment etc. if all you get free is your character, 1 starting outfit and the lobby... well that's not very special.

LOL here we go again about the kiddy thing..How old are you mate?? Sony needs to come up with stuff of their own..They feed off Nintendo too much..
Haha this is better than Live?? Dont let the 3D avatars fool you..Lets wait till its fully in action to see what its capable off...

So if you get a free character with loads of clothing already available, a free apartment and from the sounds of things you can play music that's ALREADY on your PS3 hard drive along with videos. So you don't need to download them. I really doubt they'll make you pay for a room.
[QUOTE="gingerdivid"]Wow, well I always knew Sony had something up their sleeve, however this has baffled me. The Lemmings and sheep have been owned beyond the realms of ownage. The damage control in this thread is laughable.Is this service available for use right now? Nope, I am sure HL2 mods will see me through the pain. :)

Got to give it up to Sony. Thank god they finally took the gloves off, and showed up in a BIG way. Right before the Euro launch too.
M$ must be pissing themselves. For $50 a year I expect all that and then some. Forget that for $50 I want dedicated servers for every game, I want to be able to meet new people outside the game environment, I want to show off my gaming finess, movies, music... I want ... Home. Why am I paying for Live, when Home is so much better? (potentially)
All Sony needs to do is put a rumble pad in that $600 box, and add some 'adult' rooms to those Home theatres, and they've got themselves another cow.
[QUOTE="-Pale"]from the sounds of things you can play music that's ALREADY on your PS3 hard drive along with videos. So you don't need to download them.JandurinThat would be cool. Somehow I doubt it will work that way. I'll watch the trailer again.... Too busy fapping over LBP right now..

Wow. I must say, that is the FIRST thing I've seen from the PS3 compelling/interesting enough for me to consider buying a PS3. Blu-Ray doesn't excite me nor do any of the PS3 exclusive games excite me enough to drop $600; but this is really pretty cool. Don't know if its $600-cool, but at least Sony is doing something innovative and reaching out to the communtiy. Kudos.
