Yes Dan, that is a coincidence.

Mad: Well they wouldn’t be doing it unless they found it funny! It’s optional. And you can listen to your own music in Home, and let other people listen to it – so you can all dance to it together.

Patric S., because it is ridiculous?!?! I think that if people wanted something weird to do in home, make a bowling game that you rip your own head off and use it as the ball. I cannot even see where random dancing would be considered funny. it was damn stupid in Myst on-line and more so in Home.

I had the idea for a Halo-branded Mountain Dew before the first Halo was even released. They totally stole my idea, even though I didn’t mention it until after Halo-branded Mountain Dew existed. Must just be a coincidence then.

Sony was working on Home mid PS2 days. This has been in the works for a long time. Mii’s are nothing but a coincidence.

Hell yeah! Sony fucking invented Avatars. I mean, Wii totally ripped THEM off. None of MS or Sony’s crap is at all an attempt to tap into Wii’s “casual gamer” market at all.

Soon Flyz.

Mad: It’s an optional move – there are 10’s of them. People appear to like that one…because it’s so ridiculous.

I am looking forward to “home” but I have one question…or maybe a statement, why do avatars have to randomly break out into some faggy dance?
they did that in Myst on line as well? what is with that? do the developers think people do that in real life? you know, your standing waiting for a bus and all of a sudden you just start gyrating your hips like a dickhead for no goddamn reason. WTF? do people ask for that functionality in their avatars? is there like a bunch of shitheads out there e-mailing and calling Sony demanding this??!?! “damnit! Sony, you better make my avatar gyrate wildly on the streets of Home or I ain’t getting no PS3!!”

Hey all, just to be clear, of course Sony isn’t taking Microsoft’s idea in that they’ve stolen it– I just meant to say, they’re doing a much better job with the concept than Microsoft, from what I’ve seen so far. Thanks for commenting though! See you in the Buzz Road Show.

PS HOME is rife with amazing potential! I can’t wait to see what developers like Square Enix, Kojima Productions and others could do within HOME if they took the time to!

“Somehow to me this just seems to be Sony taking Microsoft’s idea of letting your avatars compete in “1 vs. 100″ and just running numerous laps around it.”

Are you kidding me? Stuff like this was shown more then a year ago when Home debuted, the potential was there and these designs are over a year old, and you are saying SONY is taking an idea from MICROSOFT about Avatars? MS is taking the whole damn thing from Sony, Avatars for 360 were JUST announced and you say that this is an idea Home is taking from 360 avatars? No, this is an idea that has existed for almost a year and a half now, but people have been to dumb to see it until now.

Such a pity.
