This fabulous home can soon be yours!Hot on the heels of a story that The Times Online ran on Sunday, stating that Home--Sony's online-virtual-world-social-networking-advertising-buzz-word-thing for the PlayStation 3--was “slated for release in the next 10 days,” Joystiq has today received confirmation from SCEA that Home will in fact launch before the end of 2008. This is only kinda-sorta news, as folks from Sony have been saying since Leipzig that Home would launch this year. Though considering the number of delays Home has seen, it's good to hear that Sony is still on target. So the big question about Home can soon go from “is it ever coming out?” to “was it worth the wait?” For Sony's sake, I sure hope so.
I am not sure about "it was worth the wait?". It certainly looks nice and all, but right now it is nothing more than Second Life, with a lot less content...
It's just going to be an open beta, much like GMAIL. I just want to get in there and join my friends, who have been in the closed beta for a year and a half now.
