Sony plans a beta launch in April of "Home," a real-time networked world for the PlayStation 3 in which avatars can buy clothing, furniture and videos and play video games. The concept is not unlike
Second Life. Home was introduced at a game developer conference last week along with "Little Big Planet," which allows players to build obstacle courses, puzzles and other games for avatars that
resemble beanbags. "Game 3.0" is Sony's label for the company-wide push.
