can we get a release date??

The only thing I want to know is, WHEN IS HOME GETTING RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC?

its going to be released on March 20, thats my personal guess

third

Hmm, some good news about home. YAY!!!!!!!!

Why you guess that is going to be released on March 20? Is something special for that date?

So i guess this answeres why it hasent been released.  Alot of bugs to fix, and there still fixing them.  Most importantly launching a game smoothly from in home with everyone.

very uninteresting for those who dont have home. WHOOP DE DOO

how did people get into the private beta????

well this kinda pisses me off cuz i dont have home yet and i want to kno when its coming out. psn id : bigrob904

y update a game thats not even out?

My guess, which i'm sure you will prefer, is that HOME will be released on March 19th...

I want to be in the beta

Home will not be released to the public before late 2008.. the closed beta is almost over and then there will be a more open beta and not before that is done will it go public.. so my guess is Q4 if they are on schedule maybe Q3 if all goes well with the beta or Q109 if there is some big problem.... Just my guess.

Finally some  good details about home! been waiting for ages for good news like this

March 20? i seriously doubt it if they are only up to version 0.8.3. They have got so much more left to do but that would be sweet if it is. we can only hope:) I think sony should use home as a major selling point once its out, i honestly think people will think twice about buying a rival console once they have seen home;)

I just only want to know the release date.....and i doubt its on march they have a long way to go)unfortunately) i don't even have the beta i want to try it out

the news that i really wanted was to know when i can have it not this...and also i would like to know how did some people got to have the beta version it cant be that easy because i usually search for things like tha on the web and found nothing...

Oh wow... I am join the japanese camp... Who cares, i been wait along with the rest of you and we all know they will just make us wait. I will talk about it when i see it.

it seems that they have do a lot of work behind the scenes to improve home. I'm glad the beta will now have more to do, but what about the rest of us? I'm sticking to this coming fall or next spring for a full release........

Trust me guys you dont want this thing getting rushed out the door. Yes they're taking an ungodly time fixing issues but as I've said numerous times, if you were in the beta you'd see it was far from being ready, this upate goes a long way to fixing issues but they're issues that should have been worked on long before they even mentioned Home to the public.

More than anything what they need to be conceptrating on is the implementations of Multiplayer game launching, sure it's nice to have 1080p and new lighting, and skin was pretty ugly before but some of those thigns could have waited while they improved backend performance. When the update comes we'll see how much better it's become.

this is great and all but I'll be honest if the next Home post I want to read is "release date is ____"

Home = vaporware?

One thing I was wondering about is (if it's possible), can the staff here at PSU implement a separate gathering area for their users? Just wondering because it would be pretty neat to virtually gather with others from this site.

Nice to know some updates even if almost none of the public can touch Home right now.

If Sony went by the US fiscal calendar, March would only be Q1 and Home is releasing Q2 2008.  That's April - June.

It smells like vaporware yes but I reckon the delay is caused by the Japs who designed it - didnt have a clue where to start so they looked at second life and thought oooh cyberspace....that looks hip. Then designed Home v 1.0 then stood back and then quickly scrapped it, designed it again, vomited out their nose, then scrapped it again, and again, and eventually time will run out and they will have to release something and it will probably be very very lame. Then Sony wont be able to help themselves, they will try to make money off it and start flogging crap on it. I dont think they have a clue about what they are doing. Prepare to feel let down....again.

1080p support has also been returned to the interactive virtual lifestyle as well.

Good news with my Full HDTV finally arriving

Am I the only one here who thinks this is quite sad? Yeah it's clever and looks good but why live a virtual life when you have a real one?

Exactly - this looks like a second life rip off. Very very very boring.
