Playstation Home is a service for the PlayStation 3 which has incorporated a Second Life-like life sim with 3D avatars where players would consider it as their second home. This feature is a dream come true to every PS3 home user – you can recreate yourself virtually and go shopping online with your online friends, or make this as a social venue to meet your potential soul mate. But is this a home-sweet-virtual-home for your kids? You may think twice if you would keep the PS3 away from your children when they are left home alone by themselves, after your read this bizarre article headlined “Proof Paedophiles are using HOME” after the break.

Here’s an anecdote of a disturbing experience from a writeup of Adam Mathew :

Sensing an awkward lull in the conversation Jed and I discussed interests, hobbies, and ages (he ’said he was over thirty’, and out of journalistic curiosity I told him that I was younger than I am. I said I was 15). This was a colossal mistake. What happened next all but confirmed the sum of all fears: “do you have a cam? I’d like to c u in the flesh” Jed asked, moving in to ‘lap dance distance’. That’s right folks, Jed-o was something of a pedo.”

Gamespot forum member revealed as follows:

“I was watching my sister testing out Home with my PSN account. She was chatting (via text) with some random guy. “What’s your name,” “Where you’re from,” “How old are you,” that kind of stuff…

Well my sister is 14 and this guy says he’s 21. From out of nowhere he says “wanna ****?” My sister became disgusted and typed remarks like “wtf, omg” and suddenly the all-powerful Locust_Star magically appears…

TedTheDog ‘Home Community Manager’ officially announced:

Suspensions and Bans are not from Home, they’re from PlayStation Network and we have more control than I could mention (or can discuss in detail) and certainly more control than I think most people realise and we can do that without mac or IP addresses getting involved. With regards to “bad people” we like to consider the intent of their actions. Some people can annoy others through innocent actions and some people just set out to annoy. We like to think we’ll seperate those out and educate one group and moderate the other. Obviously something on the scale of Home will need public education schemes rather than 1 to 1 pep talks and we’ll work on that too.

LOL, the infamous Pedobear is any time ready to stick his “PEDO BEAR SEAL OF QUALITY” sticker on any gaming consoles he thinks worth spending his odd little adventures. Beware!
