I found a couple of extended videos of the demonstrations of PS3 Home. Here's the first part and here's the second part. Gives a little more idea of what the arcade games, personal spaces and theaters are like. Still seems like it'll be crowded.

Is it sad that after listening to the podcast I heard myself at the end remind people to change their clocks which reminded me that I had NOT changed my clocks?
