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.

june is fine with me not far off really you guys have to understand this is a feat that must be done right and if it flops its going to make sony look very very bad this is why they are only going to release it when its ready i know the wait has been long and hard but look at it from their point of view this if done correctly will revolutionize online gaming and socialization and all eyes are on them give them a little break

"HOME is coming very soon".... right.
IGN.com has the release date for HOME Q3 2008 and HOME was scheduled to come out ths Spring... but Spring lasts until late June, so maybe it could make it by Spring. But, I personally don't think that HOME is going to come out until July at E3. E3 would be the best time to launch HOME if you ask me. I can't see HOME coming out this Spring, but I could be wrong.

Being in the beta, I can't say much, but with the latest patch they've got it really streamlined and are having people do more and more server stress tests. It wouldn't surprise me that it's coming soon

I'm getting sick and tired of reading about Home supposedly coming soon. I know Sony had to showcase it in order to take some shine away from the 360's lineup at E3 but if the wait isnt worth the final product then Sony is gonna have a problem. I read a good piece a while back that listed what Home IS, what Home ISNT and what Home CAN BE. If the CAN Bes become a reality, then I Sony will have a big winner on their hands.

Why release Home in June when Metal Gear comes out that month? Sony should release Home in the middle of May. I hope it's the last time Home gets pushed back. PSN ID: Chuck-Norris909

lets face it, home and little big planet were just marketing gimmicks to make people buy the console, just like the space for the ps2 hard drive, theyll never see the light of day , if they do itll be years down the line when noone gives a damn anymore. oh and server problems will make it unworkable

I dont know about anyone else, but I for one would prefer to had it come out in November. Even with the little bugs, they could have fixed them in updates, this way we would have actually had it and it be playable, instead of them dragging it out and making people lose interest like they are now.

I hope someone makes a mod where you can go around punching people in the head.

I honestly hope Home takes its time. Think about it. If we get Home, the only thing left for the whiners to b!tch about is in-game XMB. And that's worse than Home Beta rumors.
