Last week saw the release of Home for the PS3. As many expected, it was mostly hype. Some people hacked it. Some people quincyed, but above all, every female avatar was harassed.
There are blogs popping up every where about this issue. Girl gamers are speaking out against Sony and asking for a way to ban such behavior, at the very least punish it. As soon as a girl walks into the virtual world that is home, she is berated by dozens of male avatars.

The long-awaited Home will allegedly be releasing this month. If you’re a PS3 owner, this is great news to you because now you get to sit on a virtual couch, talk to virtual friends, and watch virtual movies with said friends. For the rest of you, you can just invite your friends over and watch Netflix on the New Xbox Experience (NXE) –combined they are the ultimate compound NixieFlix. For you Wii owners out there, you can just rent a movie from you local video store and watch it on your Wii DVD player. What are you doing to prepare yourself for the ‘imminent’ launch?
