I've lost my faith in this man.

I can see that HOME will come out most likely around Oct - Nov period, but there are taking there time quite cautiously.

That's fuuny, does this mean that home is going to take the same path as the dev's for "duke nuke'em forever" where as in taking your time and remaking the same product over and over again to stay in touch with the latest technology the final product just gets delayed, "forever"!!!! kaz is really starting to anoy me with the garbage that's coming out of his mouth lately, third party dev's are making miracles for the ps3 whilst sony is just letting us down!

What he basically is trying to say is that home will very likely be delayd again, and he wants to make us think that a simple apology will satisfy us. Leave out all the promises that they want to make a quality service and all that shi** and just be prepared for another delay -.-

But I've never really cared for Home, I think most of you guys overestimate it anyway.

I think he's right

Why So Serious...?

Kaz needs to be gagged whenever a reporter get close.  He continually undermines the PS3 with one PR blunder after the next.

Bring back Kutaragi-san and big Phil ... at least they knew how to keep us enthusiastic.  This, however , just makes me look at the xbox shelf!

And what happened to this Shuhei character, E3 was his perfect launch platform and instead they roll out the word-fumbling Tretton (what was with the Jack Pallance joke ... that's just poor taste).

Well I guess we just have to wait until new management take over before expecting anything near sensible from Sony.  The only thing I'll give Kaz any kudos for is when he hands in his resignation.

It does seem that Sony has had a lot of bad news lately, and the we just keeep getting told about the same 3 or 4 tittle over and over again likethat is supposed to make ot all better.

"so long as it's in a reasonable timeframe".  Why on earth did you leave his complete statement out.  Please don't take what he says and twist it out of context.  He is basically saying I want to release something good but late vs something bad and early.

He's right. What matters is if it works or not.

you guys know the japanese loves long live and good working products :)

unlike others that use and throw away.

so i agree with him

No Kai, It does matter see. We dont want to wait all this time for one thing and also MS may also have something better out sooner!

This is old news, i've gotten to the point where, i don't care when home releases because there are so many games before that i'm looking forward to. But if when it does release it better be the Giggity Giggity Goo.

First at @6

You response is stupid.  Answer me this.  Do you really want to be 1 of the millions of sheep that get caught up in the hype of something and run it into the ground to be damned until the "next big thing" hits?  No?  Then stop with the Joker quotes, sheep.  You liked The Dark Knight? So did everybody else.  Time to let it go.  That goes for all of you.  And if you're one of the net-geeks that have a Heath-Ledger-as-Joker picture as your icon, I invite you to leave the bandwagon as well.  Bandwagon gas is expensive.

Anyway, I'm glad to see that many of you have (finally) started to cringe when Kaz opens his out-of-touch mouth.  Instead of falling for the bravado.  Funny, though. This time he's right, lol!  Now, the TITLE of the article tries to make him look like he's up to his ol' getting his gun off routine again, but he has the right attitude.  What sucks here is (obviously) Home is not here, not that Kaz has put his foot in his mouth (again).

Hopefully home comes before the ps4!!!!!!!

yeah who cares.....not me.

As i've always sayed, why do you make a 'release date', when your going to "take your time to make the best product ever" ?? There is never going to be anything that is perfect and has 0% faults or errors at release..ever, that is what patches are for.
Reminds me of when GTA IV was delayed for 6 months..., and it was the same excuse "that they wanted to make it better", or something.

EDIT: What i mean is that Home is going to have faults and bugs when it is released...even if they delay it for two years..

I totally disagree with Sony on this strategy, I'd rather have a bugged Home an year ago than waiting for all this.

Being not a game, but a social service, it's not really a problem to launch it deffective, as long as the team keeps updating it, actually, I hope that they keep updating it for as long as the service exists, so why don't launch it anyway and fix it during some eternal beta phase?

I've lose my faith in this man and also Sony they are not living up to what they  usualy do. Whe the ps2 came out it was also slow but it picked up because of great games and games were release pretty fast not a lot of delays with teh ps3 its one delay after another.

ok PSU, why would you leave othe the other part of the sentence, "so long as it's in a reasonable timeframe"? Stop feeding on negativity, learn to be a real PS site, not a 360 fan disguised one.

It's pretty obvious that half of you haven't even read the entire article or quote.

psn id: gingo... i agree that services shouldn't be rushed and go out uncompleted but people have been hyped for so long about home that the interest is waning when it should be growing

Whatever it takes Kaz, i have complete faith in your decision. Though, it would be nice to have some morsal of it ASAP to satisfy until the full product comes. Think of it like Mii's, we just want to create our characters and build our spaces, and then the rest of the world can cme a biiiit later in an update.

i dunno that makes sense to me lol

Sounds like he's preparing to break the news for another delay. I wonder what his idea of a reasonable time frame is?

I can understand completely about what he is saying. Just look at xbox when the rush there system out, now they are about 63% fail RROD with there system and it is still going. Most of you don't even think about home when other stuff is going on. We have a line up now vs. the past were we didnt have any games. Now we have games coming out and even more games around when Home comes out. So just chill and don't think about it.

This is why I hate forums  and news websites.  They just get people mad because of anticipation.  Just look back at the NES, you got what you got whenever that may of been and people were satisfied.  But now all you see is people hyping things up and following a product in development, then whining their butts off when its not out when they want it or its not how they wanted it to be.

I was real excited for HOME for the first couple months, now I could care less.  It's done when it's done.  My PS3 ain't going no where.  Neither is yours.

 I just dont care anymore

You know what Kazuo?  You can't satisfy everybody.  As long as the thing isn't crashing every 5 minutes, or messing up people's PS3, just release it already.  Get feedback on what the majority of people really want and update it later with those features.  It's been delayed long enough and it's become a big joke.  

I prefer quality over quantity, so so let it take the time it needs Kazuo, and deliver a high quality product for us! And read the full article guys to understand the context of the interview with him. 

Has this man ever heard of Updates?! He could of launched the Beta last year and kept just putting updates here and there, because that what a Beta is. Its a test to see what's wrong with the product and how to improve it! All if not most of the bugs better be fixed at the rate they've been delaying. If this thing gets launched and has alot of errors, I'm gonna be really disappointed and possibly give up on Home.

you hear what the man said quality product, not some online thing that is going to have alot of bugs and other problems. I say take your time and give us some thing we won't for get

What I would prefer, is a reason to actually give a d@// about this thing in the first place. Honestly, there is NO point. It's just stupid. I'll give it a month of interest at the most, and then no one will care anymore. It just seems stupid and pointless. Honestly, I would really like to know what's special about having a digital house and talking to people, and nothing else

I want them to release it soon, however it needs to be a quality product. so i agree with him to delay it untill it fully completed and has no bugs in it.

sony is really starting to suck at everthng it does

taking the piss

 pffft you guys are plain stupid who say "ive lost faith in sony" or "i give up allready"... man shut up and stop whining ... there's a sh!t load of kickbutt games coming out this fall and winter and on thru next year... trust me,you would of forgoten about home come this fall/winter... stop worrying about some beta thats a ways to go and start getting excited for all these awesome FINAL games that are coming out in the rest of this year. your gunna be to busy playing resistance and socom to even notice that home beta hit us allready.

you guys know what this means, right? it means he's obviously going to delay it YET AGAIN. why else would he just randomly come out and feed us with the same crap we've all heard over and over and over. dont be surprised

i dont care. i'd rather wait. its not going to be a mindblowing experience anyway. it'll be a much bigger blunder if it ships and has a lot of problems, in which case you little babies will cry more over it and there will only have to be more apologising.

MGS4 was delayed for awhile n look wehat it turn out to be? i think they should take their time on home but not TOO long though

as much i really want this to come out i think he's right I'd rather them wait and make sure its perfect so that i dont get bored of it

lol i dont think anyone likes you odium.

he's right and you have to realize hes saying with in a reasonable time frame not 5 years from now if you read the article it puts it in to context its not that he doesnt care he wants home to be right he doesnt want ALL THE DAMN WHINERS to say "oh well after all the delays this isnt good enough" kaz harai isnt my favorite person either but he is right

THE TITLE COMPLETELY TAKES THE QUOTE OUT OF CONTEXT SHAME OF YOU ON PSU, AND PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN THE WHOLE STORY BEFORE MAKING STUPID ASSUMPTIONS READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE BEFORE COMMENTING

i agree IWAO :)

they want give us real better service that dousn't have any lag or error atleast low bug

@Odium - That's all well and good but my blu-ray just fried and I'm getting tired of this years endless bad news that we've had.   The store is a mes despite it's revamp.  It seems like they only eve get 90% of the way there and everything has a "not quite" feel to it.

They should have done Home incrementally.  Like give us a  personal living space for friends with basic chat and customization features as were first demod ages ago, then add more complicated services as they go along.  This is how websites like facebook operate and how games like Warhawk stay fresh.  Sony need to change their dev style.  Ironic that they coined the phrase "game 3.0" Too many monolithic projects getting cancelled.  This seems like karate ... what we need is kung fu. 

 does anyone actually care anymore?

I was looking forward to Home but as time drags on i find myself less and less interested.

I honestly cannot understand how it is taking this long to complete, i think there must be just one person who sleeps for 23 hours a day doing all the code.

Just release the damn thing, it shouldn't have to be delayed so friggin long dammit.

It's not so easy as you all think to release something of this magnitude for thousands of people to you use, and i'm pretty sure the most of you will be tired of using this service after a few months. I know you think that the consumers are always right but don't forget that Home will not cost you anything even if it's better or the same as Xbox live (unless you but stuff like clothes or furniture or other things)

I don't see wtf so many people are b*****n about.  He is basically saying he doesn't want to release Home until it is a good product.  This is something that has never been done b4 on a console and you sackmunchers are upset because it is not out yet.  What a generation of impatient IDIOTS!!!!

i hate this guy, OF COURSE IT MATTERS it has been so long since they announced home, two times delayed??? it is a service people is waiting for! can u f&%ing hurry??, i can't believe there's ppl saying that he's right, i hope home is worh waiting for that's the only thing i'll say...

ALL OF U GET A REAL LIFE WITH REAL WORRYS. it will b out fall 2008 so b patient AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The delays were necessary.

reasonable timeframe-PFFTH!

when it comes it comes...    it has lost the hype so whatever.  FAIL! (for now* lol)

pathetic

I actually think this guy is a good person for Sony.  He is obviously into quality products, that right there is more then I can say for Xbox360.   That is what you need in a business too.  People may complain because of this, but in the end when it does come out, people will be happy.
