Cosplaying not welcome in PS3's Home

Speaking to the Official PlayStation Magazine, Home executive producer Peter Edwards, has decided to limit the choices of costumes avatars are allowed to wear, so as to reportedly retain mass appeal for the virtual world.

"If everyone's walking around dressed as Orcs or Stormtroopers or whatever, then you lose that welcoming, accessible element that means Mum, Dad and your sister might get involved as well," he said. "The idea is to keep it as accessible, mainstream and friendly as possible."

Edward's stance puts Home in a position much more controlled than the cosplayer-driven Second Life, where looking human is more of an anomaly than a standard. And as for the other mega-popular MMO World of Warcraft, the option to be an Orc is inherent to the game. Looks like we won't be getting any in-game Ratchet suits anytime soon.
