why the F not? if sony is combining aspects of LIVE and nintendos component then why not? :lol and sonys "online system" is just as bad as nintendos if you're comparing it to live.

Doel said:If you have IGN Insider, check out this thread supporting this theory. It was posted in early February, and no one believed the poor guy (when if you read his posts, he seems to be working for Sony), where he discusses that Animal Crossing type of thing where each person has their own room and can share their music and media with other visitors. He posted that long before it came up anywhere else.

wow, now that was a much better explanation. if this is true then that sounds pretty awesome. I was thinking of something almost completely different (which sounded pretty stupid in my mind).chubigans said:WOW!
freakyguy666: Has anyone else heard the rumors of a major Sony Online upgrade? Apparently the update will make the Xbox LIVE interface look antiquated in comparison. Apparently the interface is set up like a Virtual Town where each user has their own virtual apartment. Within your apartment you store your collection of acheivements and virtual trophies to show off to any "visitors" (i.e. people on your Friends list). Your friends could visit you if you are "home" (i.e. online)and once inside they could "walk around" your apartment and view how you've decorated your place. But more importantly, they could listen to any music or watch videos that you've got in your place (i.e. content you've stored on your PS3). Furthermore, your friends could join you for a game of cards or other simple games while listening to your music or even running a movie on your virtual TV (again using data on your PS3 HD). Once outside of your apartment you could visit the virtual Movie Theater to download--what else?--video content, visit the virtual Arcade, and other more exciting areas that I'm not at liberty to discuss yet...
The bottomline is that the interface is going to get a major overhaul and it's supposed to be very slick and user friendly. It will make apparent the advantages of the PS3 hardware and--dare I say--the new Sony Online Network.
If this has already been posted I apologise in advance! Otherwise, you heard it here....FIRST!
Poor guy, I really do feel bad now.

Update: There's good news and some bad news.
Good news: Beta is up and running...looking fantastic!
Bad news: Release has been pushed back to the Fall.
Feel free to chalk this up as another unsubstantiated rumour...
"Rumour has it" that part of the delay has to do with the extent of the overhaul required to support such a vibrant online experience.
There is one additional benefit to the delay; Sony is aware of this space and you should feel free to post creative ideas in this space with the knowledge that there is still time to implement them into the final version.
One last thing. If you doubt that the industry is watching this space, I offer the following private message I received....

It should be noted that Ben is no longer with SCEE after realizing the that the profits from Sony and Lionhead were insufficient. http://www.bencousins.com
Here's to reading some creative ideas of how YOU think these virtual towns and apartments could be improved!
Cheers!
I don't intend to get too technical but here's a hint...the PS3 reserves 96MB for its OS (operating system). The XB360? A mere 32MB. Why does Sony need THREE TIMES the resources?!? Most programmers were perplexed at this decision, but it will all become clear this Fall. One look at the Virtual Town, complete with your Virtual Apartments, with streaming video and music in your apartment for all friends to share and you too will be a believer.
All in the fullness of time!
Cheers!
The Beta version of the new online interface will be shown behind closed doors at GDC. Sony is very interested in getting 3rd parties on board to one-up the acheivement system of LIVE.
yeah I saw, and posted on it. any more quotes on it would be nice.reilo said:Look a few posts up. Chubigans posted it.
