The Sprint Center opened a few days ago – on Second Life, a Sims knockoff. The real deal won’t open for another 173 days.
Sprint is marketing the cyber arena “exclusively” to Latin music fans and will stream concerts from the Sprint-sponsored Telemundo reality TV show, Concierto Clandestino. Sounds like Second Lifers are getting an even rawer deal than Kansas Citians. No Big 12 basketball tournament. No High School Musical on ice. Not even lucha libre.
Still, I’m betting on the virtual Sprint Center to lure a pro basketball or hockey franchise before Kansas City does. Maybe the virtual Penguins will leave Pittsburgh after all.

ha-ha this is a sims knockoff. SL sucks!!! Whoever invented it can definitely not program at all!! This "Game" (Not even a game more of a laggy chat-room with shitty 3-d characters) is just meant to rip off stupid teenagers on crack who are willing to pay real money for virtual items that have absolutely no function in-game at all. Anyone who fell for this shit has no life of their own, so they have to make "friends" over the internet just to feal good about themselves. pathetic. Go buy sims if you want a good game, but i deeply reccomend you also get a life.

"Second Life is the fastest growing virtual world in existence."
Care to qualify that? A MMO enterprise with 200K active subs, worldwide, is hardly impressive.
Now, if you qualify "virtual world" to leave out things with more overt "game" mechanics, you might get a bit further. One could also argue that SL is the world's fasted growing virtual Ponzi Scheme, but that's neither here nor there.
"A Sims knockoff"? It's obvious you have zero experience with Second Life.
Second Life is the fastest growing virtual world in existence. It has its own economy, it's own culture, and has been accorded the status of a pseudo-nation by virtue of the fact that more than one real world country is establishing a virtual embassy there.
