PlayStation Home delayed

Kaz Hirai revealed that PlayStation Home has been delayed until early 2008.
The 3D social network for PlayStation 3 was originally scheduled for launch this Fall. Rumours had been circulating of a phased rollout, but now it appears the company has decided to move to a worldwide launch next year.
Kaz explained that the delay was not for technical reasons, but rather down to regionalisation. He (or perhaps Sony as a company) wants to have the full range of services available worldwide, along with a managed environment as opposed to a lawless one.
He also said the delay was a response to user feedback.

Home and Rumble in the Spring? What gives. Though it's nice to know they are coming...eventually, again with the delays Sony. Besides price, the delays are ridiculous.
I love Warhawk, but I HATE that I cannot communicate with friends in game nor invite my friends in game. Home is supposed to resolve this, now I have to wait another ?? months. I have to say, so far the TGS has been a moderate failure. I'm a fan, but it's hard to continuously defend this crap.

They don't have to launch Home, but at least give us some of the features via firmware so we can fully enjoy our current lineup of games before we lose interest. Warhawk is such a great game, but with so much else coming out this year and next, it may be a forgotten multiplayer game after this year.

i don't mind what reasons they might have to push back this release, sony is dissapointing me, almost every great game is being pushed back for "tecnical reasons"... i'm a great fan of the PS but nothing is worse than wait for something that is probably to be pushed back. I hope that the release date of assasin's creed stays that way or i'll get VERY dissapointed, i know it's not sony's fault some things but i'm tired of waiting

To me it's plain and simple. In game chatting/invites/messages in all games online. If I am playing Warhawk, I want to be able to check and see what other friends are on, send them a text message or a voice chat invite and communicate. Then, I want to be able to send invites, to anyone in anygame at anytime.
Oh, and allow me to have more than 50 friends or whatever the pitifully low number is. I have loads of people who want to jump into my Warhawk clan, but I can't even add them as a friend.
