The outcry for the Home public beta to launch has been going on for what feels like forever now. We’ve seen the thousands of comments regarding the issue, as well as all of the threads scattered across uncountable amounts of forums throughout the internet. It seems that the entire dilemma is finally coming to a full on stop with the recent comments from a Senior Director from Sony.
Susan Panico, Senior Director of the PlayStation Network has finally stated that "we’ll be opening up the Home Beta to the public very soon and hope to see u there." This quote of gold that many users have been asking for was released with the May issue of PlayStation Magazine.
Now, we completely understand that this does not make a date concrete nor does it give you a precise window; fortunately, we feel you can almost narrow the window down on your very own.
The fact that she stated it was coming soon in a May issue means that you probably shouldn’t expect it here in April. At the very earliest, you can assume it is coming in May; however, there is a lot of reason to expect Home to launch some time in June, which in all honesty, would probably be the best for all worlds.
With the release of Home in June, it will give you a ton of time for Metal Gear Solid 4 as well as Home. This is because most of our teenage readers will be finished with school and have the ability to just play until they’re finally satisfied. Obviously for our older readers, this isn’t as luxurious but you’ll have to make due.
If any firm date is set, we’ll keep you updated with that information. Until then, we figure you should expect a release mid-May to somewhere in June, but we’re not Sony, we can’t tell you for sure.
