Sony playing 'Dress'-up?

Kotaku has dug up an interesting Sony Computer Entertainment trademark in the US Patent and Trademark Office's online database. According to the site, Sony has registered something called Dress (see logo on right). One of the things it was registered for (besides x-ray tubes), was the following:

PROVIDING EXHIBIT SPACE OF VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENTS IN THE INTERNET FOR COMPUTER GENERATED 3-DIMENSIONAL DESIGN OF CLOTHING

ON-LINE RETAIL STORE SERVICES FEATURING DOWNLOADABLE VIDEO GAME SOFTWARE, SOFTWARE FOR CREATING DRESS AND WEARS FOR VIRTUAL REALITY AVATARS, SOFTWARE USED FOR CREATING VIRTUAL REALITY AVATARS, AND SOFTWARE FOR COMPUTER GENERATED 3-DIMENSIONAL CLOTHING FOR AVATARS

Could this be a Home add-on of some sort? It seems like it would fit perfectly into the plans for Home and allow users to create truly unique content -- though it's just going to increase the amount of Second Life comparisons if that's the case ...

1. it actually has to do with the playstation eye. There was a Japanese news report/video of it. this is the link( http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1745039921662276433&q=eye+ps3&total=239&start=0#=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=3

im fairly sure that is what the logo is for.

2. @1: Actually that's an old Hitachi tech demo..but they are using the Cell for realtime video processing.

3. It sounds like it would fit the HOME ethos quite well. The linked article specifically cites t-shirt creation and retail...

4. Oh dear us 360 users, first the PS3 has proteins and now you have a virtual sewing machine. What ever will we do?

5. "What ever will we do?"

Probably twiddle your thumbs after your 360 bakes itself to death Mr. Betty Crocker.

6. All the FW updates (save for 1 or 2) have gone up on Wednesday nights at about 11:00PM EST. I would expect it then.

Where the hell is 2.0, though?!
