Earlier this year it was announced that PS3 owners would get a first hand experience of the new Home application before the end of the year. Sadly, that is no longer the case. Earlier today we got official confirmation from President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment Jack Tretton that the beta has been delayed.
During an interview with Mercury News, Tretton states, “we’re looking to do a beta in the first quarter of calendar 2008.” Although the delay may not be that long, the actual release of Home may be longer than hoped. Tretton does mention that Sony is “not 100 percent sure on when the full-blown release will be in terms of an actual date.”
We can be grateful that the delay for the beta appears to be for short period of time. We’ll keep you updated on when you can finally go Home.
