The 3 editor screenshots are above, for comparison. PS3 people looks like it will be able to make a very close likeness of yourself, or whatever you want. Personally, I think Miis are more customisable than Avatars, even though they are supposed to be higher res and quality. Avatars just seem a bit limited in what you can make the faces look like. I'm wondering what I'm going to do with my PS3 person though, it's going to be a bit freaky to be looking at a version of myself (especially with my face! ) so I might go a bit off the wall with it/him/her.

What are the rest of you PS3 peeps going to do with yours?.. and what do you think of the Home people?

Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.

All signs point to MS half-assing their avatar thingy.

Gotta love MS's hair-naming scheme and the fact that it's actually displayed.

The problem is that the closer you get to reality, the harder it is to make a likeness of yourself that looks right.

My sig is 1 pixel too big.

That was great. I'm fairly amazed at the level of creativity a lot of people have shown with Miis.

Their judgment of the best avatar is awful. I disagree on practically half of them.

Seconded. Especially the Michael Jackson one. I mean, the PS3 one? Come on!!! I would have at least accepted the Avatar, but the Mii wins hands down!
I'm on MacNN forums, but no longer have a Mac...

I looked at that screen shot and thought that has to be from a developer version right? There is no way someone would expose the internal naming scheme like that, right? Right?

Indeed.

Paris Hilton: None. Maybe 360.
The Joker: Wii by a longshot!
