Second Life "A glorified 3D chat room"

In a recent article on kotaku.com, they compared the new Playstation Home with second life, saying "We've had our doubts that Home may ultimately be nothing more than a prettier Second Life, a glorified 3D chat room, one that only makes getting to the games we actually want to play a bit of a chore.". I would agree, as a consumer that has paid for no additional content, there is very little to do other than talk with other second life users and customise my existing character with a limited selection of UVW maps.
