Sony, Microsoft Begin Battle of Virtual Worlds

Posted by timothy on from the who's-your-hiro dept.

Slatterz writes "Sony and Microsoft are poised to do battle in virtual worlds. The console kids both announced Second Life-style virtual environments at the Tokyo Game Show today. Both games show striking similarities to Linden Lab's creation. Players are represented by avatars which live a virtual life — engaging in relationships, going about day-to-day business."

    I thought this was pretty cool, that is, until I read your post. Seeing the error of my ways, I will now live a life free of virtual worlds and offer my sincere apologies for having a different opinion. Please accept twenty self-inflicted lashes of the whip to my back to atone for my sin.

    Bet nobody will buy Vista in their virtual world either.

    Verily I concede (while stroking your back and tickling under your chin).
