Speaking during an interview with MCVUK.com, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) President David Reeves again confirmed that PlayStation Home is on track, with the open beta scheduled to launch this fall alongside strong support from third party companies.
"It’s completely on track," said Reeves. "The closed beta has just ended and the open beta will launch in Autumn."

No specific date has been announced for the open beta; however, Reeves noted that there will be significant third party backing for the online service upon release.
"Now when that will be announced, I’m not actually sure...but it’s all on track and we have lots of third parties on board," said Reeves.
Stay tuned.

I'm curious to see which company will release there major update first. M$ with the new software update or Sony with PS Home? I have a feeling that M$ is going to beat Sony to the punch. I truly hope not, because that would be a damn shame.
PS Home should've been out already!!!

M$'s peice of garbage could launch tomarrow, it's not like they did anything special with it. Also dont get people overly hyped for Home again, Yes it will be a very cool thing to have but it's not going to be for everyone. the functions it will provide are what people should focus on, Clan support, entering games as a team, exclusive content and social interaction with other PS3 owners, These are the major uses of Home.

@ 14 i'm not with u on that tho if want home 2 come out in 2009 for u plz unplug ur ps3 from the internet and wait untill it's 2009 and download it :)
@ totally agree with u it's worth the wait
the game has been in development only for 2 years loads of stuff like programs and games take way longer to develop than that so they did a farely good job
so people might be woundering how home is going 2 be included in games for game launching in home? well the bad thing is home is going 2 be added like trophies. so most/all games u got now will not be home supported unless patches(more like a DLC) are included into them. but that would be diffulty since RAM, cpu and that would probably all be used(so i doubt it but still posible) coz game developer get lazy sometimes. i no gta 4 is going 2 have home support of some sort and if true that would be so cool anyway future games coming out like MAG and so forth will have home in it so dw. HOME is coming out in '2008' not 2009 not 2010 not never tho it would be funny if i was but hopefully i'm not :D -

This may be stupid because they announced in long ago, but is this thing going to stay free? I know there will be buyable stuff inside HOME but I wouldnt even twitch if they said "Oh yeah, sorry but its gonna be a $10 dollar download"
That said, I'm looking forward to HOME and Life with Playstation.
(Everyone please remember to FOLD, I lost my gramps to alzhiemers and I want to see it wiped out.)
