PlayStation Home Beta Delayed Until Fall

[iconoclast]

Again?! Well, here's hoping it's all for a good reason. Sony announced today that it would be delaying the public open beta of Home until Fall of this year. As you probably remember, Sony had previously delayed Home's open beta until this Spring.
"We understand that we are asking PS3 and prospective PS3 users to wait a bit longer, but we have come to the conclusion that we need more time to refine the service to ensure a more focused gaming entertainment experience than what it is today," said Kazuo Hirai, President and Group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment. "Our overarching objective is to provide users with new gaming experiences that are available only on PlayStation Home. Spending more time on the development and on the Closed Beta testing reaffirms our commitment to bringing a quality service, maintaining the PlayStation tradition."
While the open beta has been bumped back, Sony announced that it would be inviting more people into the ongoing closed beta. Again, here's hoping the extra time will really help pay off. What do you think? Can you wait another half a year?

Funny that this is the BETA that's being delayed. At this rate, they might launch it with the PS4.

Sony fans and Euro Nintendo fans have something in common

delays and waiting

I might get flamed for this but heh, actually I respect them for delaying it again. We don't want another Windows ME now don't we? It'll be stable when it actually gets released which I'll be happy for. Besides I've got other things to keep me busy this year.

It has made it to the point where it seems that most PS3 owners are used to delays and are just looking at Home as it'll be out when it's out. Sony is killing any hype that was out there for Home, but at the same time they really haven't done anything to introduce it to the general public yet, and making sure that it has as few problems as possible is a good idea for when they do start to really push it.
