I think it will look this good Quiny, mainly because a PC game has to be made for many different PC configurations, so that’s a lot harder, but for PS3 the creators of Home only have to look at one system specification and make it as good looking as they can… plus they can update Home at any time in the future with improvements.

And we can buy a TV invite friends over. watch a movie we have in our HDD in the TV. and it will be streamed to the friends Ps3’s! now that would be just awesome!

and The same with Music Boxes and the songs being streamed to all :D. and with full surround we can hear if someone is calling from the behind and look back. lol

I just hope they expand on it in this way coz it will be nothing but amazing!
