Sony's much-hyped foray into virtual worlds is turning into an embarrassment for the company and the PlayStation 3 platform. When Home was first announced early last year, the potential Second Life competitor was heralded as a "very friendly, enticing platform" that would "finally bring secure 3D virtual communities to the masses."
But it wasn't long before news of delays began to leak out. At last year's Tokyo Game Show, Sony Computer Entertainment President and Group COO Kazuo Hirai confirmed that the project would be held back until spring 2008. Microsoft's Xbox 360 group, which at the time was glowing from the well-received Halo 3 buildup, was quick to pile on.
Don't mind if they delay home as long as they get the XMB out.
in game XMB is what i want
Home just seems like a bit of a waste of time..
if I want to buy stuff I use the ps store and not HOME, if I want to talk to someone on my friends list I use the CHAT thingy and not HOME. If I want to get some new info on a game I use the internet NOT HOME
I just dont get the point in it
sony dont put people's hopes up when you know you arent going to deliver a feature you have been advertising for almost a yr.
If you arent 100% sure i advice you to hold your announcements until its ready.
do people think i want 2 walk around a virtual world challenging people 2 play chess or bowling, im not sayin i wont use it because i will im just not in that much of a rush, if u could vicously attack other people or rob sum1s house or even trash the cinema or shops THEN ILL PLAY IT EVERY-DAY HELL Y NOT CALL IT MANHUNT 3 "HOME" LOL
