[Rattles]

there will be tools for creating your own mini games inside of home!!!

I know they want to get it just right so they get no complaints, but if there is something @ gdc thats going to be released in 09. Whats the point.

Sony already has people buying PS3's based on the general notion of 'home' then are confused with 1995 Looking psn.

I hate it so much.

But I know I'll love it when it comes out, and ill forget everything I just said right now.

To the future!

[Burekman]

Yeah I noticed that too. I think it was Uncharted that I got this leaflet advertising Home. It said "join the Home community" or something similar. The only problem is you can't... yet.

I'm also sceptical about the release date. I mean spring is getting closer and closer and we haven't heard anything new. To top it off there was no open beta last year... Hope they do make it but I won't be surprised if it gets delayed till fall 08, or even 09.
