CONTINUED FROM ABOVE POST:
At time of release, the user's "home" will be streamed from their own PS3, meaning that if the user logs off of Home, then access to this user's apartment no longer exists until the user logs on again. According to Sony, they are looking for new ways to get around this issue.
The world of PlayStation Home will not only consist of players' houses, but there will also be arcade-games that can be played, as well as games like pool billiards and bowling. Sony will also install cinemas that allow players to watch and download new content and trailers. It is not yet known if this feature will cost money.
The look of the avatar, decorations, where to travel, settings, etc. can be controlled on a virtual PlayStation Portable.
In the world outside of the player house, players can chat and meet other community-members. This will create a Second Life-like experience, where one can invite their friends, hang out and communicate via voice chat, or normal text chat, listen to music, play a game or exchange content. People who enter each other's "homes" can stream the host's music and videos from their HDD. Videos are viewed via virtual Sony TV's, such as the BRAVIA. As well, pictures can be viewed via a virtual picture frame.
