Forums - Sony - PS3 Home: What is Xi and do you even care?

It is becoming increasingly obvious that Sony will be announcing something new regarding Home.  Many of you have noticed strange videos and symbols within Home.  Hopefully they will make this announcement at GDC next week.  Someone on N4G suggested a paintball mini-game within Home, which would be pretty fun.  Another poster suggested it stood for X (cross) I (interface).  Not sure what that means, but it is interesting.

Here is a short video that seems to provide more information on Xi, but I don't feel any closer to the truth.

I have no idea what Xi is, but I hope that it helps to define Sony's vision for Home.

Any ideas?  Also, please embed the video if you know how to.

 



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

I hope it's something cool, but with Home, you never know



omg!! ffxi mmo with home avatars!



I guess the answer to the second question is nobody cares.



Thanks for the input, Jeff.

 

 

Well, Xi was (is) the Japanese name for Devil Dice, an awesome (SCEI-produced) PS1 puzzler, though judging by the linked video it probably has nothing to do with that.

It's like the release of Home all over again.  I guess they will be announcing something next week.  Hopefully it is worthwhile.

Edit: Sully thanks for posting this.  It actually has a lot of information.  There is no way I am going to get hyped for this, but it seems like there is something to it.  They seem to suggest that it is some sort of game within Home.  At least that would give us something to do there.  Maybe Valve, is developing a Home version of Portal .



Thanks for the input, Jeff.
