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."

    Well said. Good see there are still some of us left who think all this need to "life in another reality" is complete and utter BS! Big Brother, Paris Hilton, TV ads and any number of vacuous, empty headed z-list celebs filling our already hard lives with crud they could well do without!
