QuoteSony is delaying the launch of the Home online world service for its PlayStation 3 console.

Originally slated for an autumn launch, Home is a virtual world in which owners of the PS3 create avatars and socialise with others.

The social networking system is a key plank in Sonys strategy to win customers for its game gadget.

Sony said Home would now be launched early in 2008 but gave no specific date for its release

Is that a tumbleweed I hear.....?

Well I knew this and mentioned it in my ps3 post
Because it is all bells and whistles and not enough developers and media companies have signed up to make their own 2nd life style shops etc.

Wont actually arrive till summer I reckon and not launched with any bells or whistles with fan boys raving about it but it end of the day being a bit stale

Ahh no cool posting this as it was only official today, I just had it on the grape vine. I did work experience for quite a bit at bullfrog when it was still around and made a few friends and stay in touch so I do here quite a bit and things that I can say before its official I do people just tend not to believe me

But yeah For live stuff you do not really want to be in a virtual world have to go to you virtual house and load up your virtual games console to play a game online etc, it looks nice but when there is 2nd life out there for people who want that already its a gimmik. And I still am lost to why Sony do not understand what needs to be done for online to be true.

Microsoft have it to a tea and Nintendo have finally got the idea and their and MSs old arcade and game classics etc is brilliant and live really is brilliant and Sony even through they have made an improvement seem a bit lost in it
