PS3 Home Delayed Again, Enters Open Beta in Fall

so is it an open beta in fall, or an extended closed beta?

open beta is pretty much releasing it...

I'd say at this point the PS3 getting an implementation of Home + In-Game XMB competitive with Live is about as likely as the 360 adding a browser. Guess my PS3 stays my media center and console for SP exclusives like MGS and FF XIII while my 360 is my MP console.

Personally I don't see what's taking so long. This is essentially Second Life with maybe the interaction level of selecting what your character looks like in SSX.

I think what happened is that Sony, desperate for attention, announced the thing as soon as the idea came into their head and as soon as they had a screenshot or two to show of. Now it seems like it's getting delayed when all that's really happening is it's taking however long it was going to take to make something like this.

That, and I bet Sony keeps changing their mind on what it does and what all they want it to do.

And it's too bad too because between this and LittleBigPlanet it sends the message to developers "hey, our hardware is so difficult to develop for that even dinky casual games take for-fucking-ever to develop" and that's not the message they want out there now, especially given how people like Valve has such nightmares getting things to run on the hardware.

Probably for the best. It's going to need more than pretty superficialities to keep up with XBL.

Meh, who cares how long it's delayed. Just give us in game XMB and more good games and delay home as long as you want.

When the fuck can I be a furry, goddammit?

Stop the FURsecution.

It's just my FURsona.

So how come so many of the shoe boxes are empty.
Shoes.
Shoes.
These shoes are 300 Fucking dollars.
Lets get'em.

Hey guys, look at these new shoes I bought, what do you think? shall we make our way over to the swimming pool?

I'm officially calling it -- VAPORWARE.

I hope they're adding more emo haircuts

It's only delayed if you ever believed it would actually get released in the first place. :)

<sarcasm> Wow I didn't see this coming. </sarcasm>

Just think, by the time this actually comes out, the news of the next xbox will start to trickle out with twice the power of any console, so who will care about the PS3 then and home will have been a huge waste of time.

Who cares about this game? Is there something I'm missing or is this just a boring ass sim game where you...well...your at home and you do shit that you would do at home...there's a game already like this - it's called real life!

Home: The DNF of the 7th console generation.

And a collective gasp was issued by the 3 Second Life players who own a PS3.

They're really dropping the ball with this, the PS3 will already be 2 years old before this hits.
