I admire sony for trying to be ground breaking. Gaming on another level lets see if it has wings I for one don't doubt that sony is capable of pulling such lofty idea into a practical and ejoyable reality.

Or as has been pointed out myspace with 3d. I am sure that this will get a lot of press and be very popular, but as 3pointd points out, it is another place you have to upload content to and seems less geared to the mashup culture that we have all become used to. However, that did not stop me. Last night I adorned my mini apartment with a picture of me in Second Life. I also managed to set up eightbar as a private group and get us a conference room. What it really lacks for me personally though is the creative freedom that we have in Second Life. The ability to change anything, build anything, express anything is lost at the moment in something like Kaneva. or There.com I am sure that will change as more worlds emerge, but it really is a key part. Its the difference between a website and wiki. It would appear to also be like PS3 Home in that regard. This is not wrong, companies want to own the brand experience, and provide support and control. However in this self organizing wave we have now I am not sure it is enough? Just my virtual tuppeny.

There's loads of good stuff on YouTube and Flickr, but it doesn't mean I'd want to get rid of Steven Spielerg and David Bailey. I think there's still something to said for enforcing somewhere for professional only content. I also think that quality 3D content is still a step too far for most users. We get taught to write since we're five, so it's not surprising we can also blog. Cameras are easy (and quick) enough to use that anyone can take a reasonable picture of something, so the user generated photo sites work, but this isn't the case with everything. I can't spend a day with a piano and come up with something that sounds like Thom Yorke. Neither can I paint to a standard that I'd be happy to share. I think 3D content is still in this league. Second Life has probably shown up people who had a natural ability at generating 3D content and never realised it, but I don't think it's everyone. That's not to say someone wont invent some 3D camera, or that kids wont start getting taught 3D modelling from five in the future. Roo, I think there’s room for both models.

However, it will depend on how else you can consume the content. The PS3 is a home device (at the moment) wired into your HDTV. Just as surfing the TV on the web does not seem to fit most lifestyles does the central device nature of the PS3 mean there is less opportunity for the range of services and concepts that will get a metaverse flavour? After all laptops, wireless, coffee shops, work desks are a massive market and what drives the web. This is though game 3.0 as they referred to it. so maybe that does not matter.
