Not long after a new round of Home beta invites were sent out to PLAYSTATION 3 owners comes word that the beta itself has received some additions. In addition to graphical and technical upgrades, Home avatars can not only walk, but they can run, for, I assume, proper virtual panicking.

Far more interesting than stylish digital locomotion is the fact that aspects of the Xross Media Bar are now accessible within the Home program itself, allowing users to check their friends list and send and receive messages. This will make my virtual hitting-on of men with female avatars that much more convenient!
