Sony has announced that it has pushed back the release of PlayStation Home, but promised an open beta this autumn.

If it had been a launch.. thing, then perhaps I would have been a little more interested, but the fact that it's taken nearly three years for them to get the idea and get to closed beta stages? Just feels like they couldn't be arsed for the people that grabbed one at launch.

Yes, I am bitter.

Like LBP, Home shouldn't be released until it's ready.

This shouldn't be surprising for people that kept up on the original closed beta. Honestly, all people really want right now is in-game XMB, but people are getting Home & it mixed up, thinking that Home will include it, which (from what I know) is not the case as both are separate from each other, right?

Just keep the games/firmware updates on track this year Sony and I'll be happy. Adding a new SKU w/ DS3 included would also be nice, too.

OMG this should not take as long as a Half Life episode to develop! Or has it been longer? Anyways with these sort of delays it better sync with every internet 2.0 app I have!

I hate long dev times and delays on games/features like any other person, but no one wants a buggy PoS. I'd rather wait for something that works as it should.

Shame tho.. Was hoping to prance around in my lime-green Borat onesie on @Home.
