Sony has been trying to play catch up with Xbox Live ever since its inception, and they think they have the answer.  The upcoming release of Home is Sony’s attempt to bring a “Live” community to the PS3, but using their own style.  The Beta has been out for some time and it seems Sony wants it to be perfect before launching.  Today, they have added another 100,000 Beta testers to their program to allow them to enjoy Home, which allows Sony to iron out the bugs.  In case you have not been aware, Home is much like Second Life, but with game rooms, trophies and “Homes” for each of its players, where you can interact with one another.  It’s nice to see Sony trying to take the initiative and attempt something new for online communities, and the free price point makes it a nice alternative.  We’ll still have to wait and see if Home is all Sony claims it can be.
