For those who have a PS3 and haven't heard of "HOME" or knew about it and haven't seen it lately ~ update your system ~ download the latest version for PlayStation Home, and check out the virtual reality Sony has continued to add to.

Create your very own HD avatar and venture off into the many maps!
Go shopping at the Mall to purchase everything from a hairstyle, clothes to even costumes for your avatar, get a pet that follows you around, upgrade your move speed and travel using a skateboard or even a tiger! Walk around and mingle, pose, chat, dance, etc...

Catch a movie at the theater, watch a commercial off the wall, walk up to an arcade and play a game, go to the record store and buy some music.

Not all things are free, but there's so much one can do at the cost of time. For example go to the Adventure district and play some chess or go to the Sports walk and play some Texas Hold'Em ~ yes with other people online, there's even a First Person Shooter you can team versus team called Uproar found in the Action District.

This virtual world is growing faster and faster with so many companies jumping on the wagon to promote their business and offer the virtual consumers some really cool stuff + It's definitely got a lot of the older generation's attention with the Casino in which you can actually gamble!

Keep an eye on home, it's definitely the future in not only gaming, but how we will control our online presence remotely.
