Yep you heard it here first. Once again Sony has missed their target for the Home open beta. Oh, its still a few months before they have missed you say? Oh, lets just say I have heard Sony cry WOLF! on this subject one to many times and I am just beating them to the punch. The hype will build and build over the next few months, caused be otherwise smart gamers who have allowed themselves to get sucked in by the latest "oh this Home vaporware thingy is this close to done" news from Sony. Then we wont hear a thing until sometime in January a Sony exec will mention in an interview "COUGHnoopenbetatill2009orsomethingCOUGH"
For those of you who wonder why I am so negative on this subject, just go back to last year. The hype from Sony was an open beta in November 2007. Now fast forward to now. The hype is an open beta in November. Sony has gotten so lazy they cant even come up with a good lie anymore, just recycle last years lie. At least they can say they are being "green". Its like they just change the year. They should just shut up about Home, either get it done or kill it and when its done put it on our XMBs.
