After two years since it was announced, Sony’s virtual universe built around its gaming console will finally open for public. Starting tomorrow, PlayStation Home will be available as an open beta for all PS3 users.

What can you do in Home? Basically, a lot of fun staff like meeting with people, watching exclusive entertainment material available from Sony and its partners.

Though, don’t get fooled! PlayStation Home has nothing to do with Linden’s Second Life. PlayStation Home revolves around PlayStation and unlike Second Life is intended to be rather a virtual meeting place for PS3 owners rather than a virtual universe with its laws and economy.

As Sony explained, in Home every new user will start with a fully customizable (and clothed)

avatar and an empty apartment-like room. For just a few bucks, the users will be able to buy clothes and new furniture in order to decorate their virtual apartments.

Home has also a disadvantage: it will not the gamers cross the geographical borders. For example the US gamers will be able to interact only with other US residents, while the Europeans would engage in multiplayer games only with citizens from the same continent.

Apparently, Sony has decided for this approach to avoid cross-border intellectual property problems.
