Sony unveils its new online strategy: realistic avatars, custom spaces and enough user input to choke a horse
While playing dress-up and using emotive actions like waving and dancing is cool, though, your character is really the least of what you'll get.

You can also add furniture to your digs, and here's where things get cool.
