Virtual Worlds Forum

So, it seems the rumours of Second Life expanding to PS3 and Xbox 360 weren't true - at least not yet. They'd been flagged as a potential announcement during Linden Lab board member Mitch Kapor's keynote speech yesterday during Second Life's fifth birthday celebrations. Instead, he talked about how Linden Lab's virtual world may change and develop in the next five years, opening up to a wider audience. His speech is well worth watching (above) - he talks about the shift from the 'pioneer era' (i.e. early adopters) to more pragmatic use, and also announces plans for a Linden Prize of 10,000 Linden Dollars for "superlative achievements in elevating the human condition through Second Life".
