...been playing with Home for a month or so, and I think it's the most realistic-looking implementation yet of a 3-D world - more startling even than Linden Lab's Second Life.

The PlayStation 3 costs $400 and is getting thumped by Microsoft's Xbox, which is twice as popular, and Nintendo's adorable Wii, which has sold four times as many units for the month of October.

"It feels like a rehab clinic," grumbles one of Reid's staff. On the desk in front of him is the squad roster, a pristine copy of a book called English-Thai: The Fun Way to Learn the Language and a three-page cheat sheet of footballing phrases in Thai.
