It's just a gimmick from Sony.

Nintendo and Microsoft have done the same though. I've heard that the PS3 now has it's own "achievements." It's only a matter of time that Nintendo rolls out with something similar but I doubt it as the friend code system would interfere.

Nintendo has that home button, I wonder if Sony got the name from the Wii Mote.....?

Nah, that's like saying Nintendo got the "Home" button idea from Webster's dictionary lol.

Sony probably called it that so they could use some cheesy slogan like "Home, it's just like home."

There isn't much else you could call it. Suburbia, Headquarter. Those don't fit.

as its been said before, its a virtual myspace... might be fun for the first couple days... but im sure it will get old. thats just me though, im open to try it out.

Problem is, there are a handful of places you can attain a similar experience for free at different online arcades and multiplayer websites.

Homigawd, It's Gaiaonline for PS3. Just non-anime. lol
