Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) head David Reeves admitted that they were perhaps getting a bit too ambitious with the goals they had outlined for their upcoming PlayStation Home. The new service seemed to neglect gamers in favor of its other non-gamer related applications.In a brief interview with Reeves after the PlayStation event in London, he explained how Sony wanted to make sure that all the gaming aspects of Home was ready upon its launch this Fall. He did confirm that its open beta will definitely be out by either October or November. He realized that the many non-gaming applications in Home, such as getting sponsors and the like, can be somewhat of a turn off for most gamers. On that note, he had this to say about it: In that sense we were deserting gamers. So, we're concentrating on the gaming by launching games in Home, and attracting people who are into gaming in first - instead of the Nike people, or Adidas people who are into fashion and not necessarily into gaming. Lastly, he mentioned the shift the company will be taking from releasing third party exclusives to more first party developed games on the console. This will make a great opportunity for Sony to attract gamers with more original IP titles instead of recycling consumers from one iteration of PlayStation or Wii to another. |

They should release the open beta just now, and say, when starting it "it can bug, it's not final". This way, they could test it and we could have it.

» I disagree.
Beta tests are for debugging. They're obviously still adding features to it, so it's alpha software.
If you invite people to test an alpha, they flood you with bug reports for things you already know are broken.
The one thing they should have done, is keep their yap shut and not promise it to us and hype it a year before they can actually deliver.

Hey if GTA4 online freeroam would allow you to play some of the side games available in single player, such as pool & darts with each other online I wouldnt need home. Although obviously Home is free where as GTA is not
