PlayStation's long awaited community based online networking system, Home, is set to be shown off to developers as it was a year ago, at the Game Developer's Conference, when it was announced. This time around Sony will be showing developers how to properly incorporate the new features that Home will have.
Taking the information straight from the Game Developer's Conference website, it seems that James Cox, Senior Producer of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, and Warren Keyes, Lead Tools Programmer, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, will be heading the presentation which will take place on February 21, 2008 at the show.
The official session description shows that both gentlemen will, "cover an overview of the current Home Tools features and the feature roadmaps for the future." In addition to this basic overview, they will also be showcasing the process of creating a Home space for developers as well as show a guide on how to create 3D mini-games within the Home.
Home has been in development since early 2005; it will allow users to create an avatar for their PlayStation 3 console complete with their own apartment, which can then be decorated by the user. In the future the service will also expand, allowing players to have more sorts of clothing, downloadable demos, watch trailers, and even launch games from the Home service.
Even with the Consumer Electronic's Show ready to wrap up at weeks end, it is never to early to start getting excited for the next bit of news we will be hearing from Sony. Expect Home to have a presence at this year's GDC as it did last year when it was first announced.

I feel a long Cleaner response coming on. (No offense to you Cleaner, you seem to be one of the most informed people here.)

As for the article, I don't want Home to be showcased. I want those devlopers back at work making Home ready to go. Sooner Home comes up, the sooner we get in-game XMB.

Home is great but the dev team must be fresh out of highschool to take this long to complete the simpler tasks invovled in putting home together. Sure they may show us a buch of cool new things but then we betatesters wont see it for another 6 months to tell them if there are bugs in it and then they'll make a new promise that it'll be ready by xmas probably and the cycle will repeat next year!
I'm really unsaticefied with their slowness, I want Home to succeed like I know it should but it seems like it's only being worked on every alternate tuesday for 45 minutes!

www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=4755645 This link will guide you through the EASY process of getting a brand new retail Playstation 3! Here is how it works! First and foremost this is NOT like those other offers you see all over the web, where you are required to sign up for a million "free" offers that end up taking forever and costing you a bunch of money and a headache. You click this link and sign up for their referral program. With this program you are required to participate in only ONE of their sponsor's offers, the one I chose was the yahoo success kit, which only cost $1.95. That’s all I have paid so far! Once you sign up for your ONE required offer you use the link they provide you and post it on forums, or send it to friends, and if someone uses that link to sign up and complete one offer of their own, you get a referral. Here is the cost breakdown of the referral system. 8 Referrals = New retail 40gb PS3 10 Referrals = New retail 60gb PS3 12 Referrals = New retail 80gb PS3 and ONE game of your choice 14 Referrals = New retail 80gb Ps3 and two games YOU CHOSE (includes new releases like Uncharted: Drake's Fortune or Ratchet and Clank Future etc…) Plus many more PS3 offers and others including up to $475 in CASH I have been a member for 3 days and have 10 completed referrals on my account, well on my way to my chosen 14 (Already enough for a 60gb or 40gb PS3). I also have 250 people, who have signed up; if any 4 of them complete an offer I have my Ps3 and two games. It can take up to 3 days for a completed offer to process, so I may have already reached my goal. The company even covers shipping and handling so there is no hidden costs of ANY KIND. This website even has you create an account so you can track your progress the entire way through, and once your package ships, they supply a UPS tracking link. It is extremely user friendly I recommend you research this company online, as they are proven legitimate and not in any way a scam. EGM magazine actually did a story on them 2 years ago to see if they were legit and did in fact get a free system, so they proved it worked! The way it is possible is these sponsor's pay this company money for referring people to them, and using a portion of that money, buy you a PS3 as an incentive for helping them advertise. It is a pretty nice scheme, but it results in me getting something for free so I don't care. This will be my third free thing to get from this company; I have a 360 elite and iPhone for the cost of about 5 dollars. Enjoy your free system, free isn't a bad deal for a great console and a Blu-Ray player! www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=4755645
