    Home to Arrive in 10 Days?

    In a recent preview in a Times Online article, it was revealed that Sony's Home may be released within the next ten days. One sentence in particular stands out amongst the rest.
    It is, however, available only on a computer rather than a games console. To try Home, which is slated for release in the next 10 days, players must download a piece of free software from Sony’s PlayStation store onto their own PS3.

    The rest of the article offers up a very nice preview of what gamers can expect when Home launches, when ever that may be.
    Whether Sony’s marketing move will prove as successful remains to be seen, but initial reports are good. While Home is not as ambitious an undertaking as Second Life, Sony appears to have successfully created a slick environment for gamers to enjoy exploring. The initial choice of clothing for your avatar is limited, but many of the virtual stores have not opened for business yet and this, along with other aspects, will undoubtedly evolve rapidly.

    Perhaps the most important feature is that if avatars meet up online, the players can launch a PS3 game directly from within Home that they can participate in, if they all have a copy. This may help PlayStation to catch up with the hugely popular Xbox Live online service.

    I would imagine they'd advertise it a lot when does, it's been slowly built up and built up I would imagine they'll milk it for all it's worth in an effort to attract as many people to the PS3 as possible. We can hope tho :awes

          That's for the open beta, I think the 'full / version 1' is in 10 days (well 8 days or something now)

            Find in-depth gaming news and hands-on reviews of the latest video games, video consoles, and accessories.

            Partially among those is the "Club," a social umbrella you can set up for your like-minded friends.
            What is a club?

              Works like a clan I think.

                ah no

                Home will remain in BETA for a while. There is no set date for a "full" release

                  Think of it as "Gmail." That sucker is still in beta as well.
