I always thought PlayStation Home for the PLAYSTATION 3 would be an environment where I could import images, video, and music. And that’s it. But it looks like I might be able to do more than that:

Q: Will there be any design tool going out with it, specifically for designing objects?

PE: Absolutely. Again, that’s a bit further down the line – our priority at the moment is to be able to give developers the tools in which to create an experience for users. But once we’ve got those guys up and running, we’ll start turning to user-created content tools. Such as, for example, the T-shirt designer, all the way up to being able to design your own dream apartment. Also things like giving scripting tools. Most users won’t be that creatively minded, probably, but there will be some who want to show other people what they can do, so you could give them Java-scripting tools so they can create their own min-games or something. That’s the sort of thing that can really start to build the smaller, more hard-core community that influences the larger community.

Be able to design my own dream apartment? Now that’s cool. The only problem is, I’m not much of an artist. Can anyone out there reproduce for me the lounge from the Millenium Falcon?
