An attractive upcoming virtual world for PlayStation 3 users called Home is getting some oohs and aahs from bloggers. Engadget reports that a large-scale beta of the world will be out sometime in April. The game has also been dubbed as a "Second Life killer" by some game bloggers but whether it has any chance of doing that or not remains to be seen.
The seeming-MMO even includes casual games such as pool, bowling and arcade machines embedded into the world, but at any time you can invite a fellow resident to join in on any PlayStation Network-capable game. As for user-generated content, PS Home allows you to hang your own pictures on your apartment walls and share videos with friends. You can of course dress up your avatar in assorted virtual clothings -- for a price -- all while enjoying "dynamic advertising" of some sort. A large scale beta goes live in April, with the full product to be launched this fall.

The BBC says publishers and retailers are expected to contribute to the new virtual world from Sony. Here is a video preview of Home.
