Confirmed: Home to be released this month

It’s been rumored about, it’s been promised off-handedly… now some real confirmation. PlayStation Home director Jack Buser has confirmed that open beta will be arriving within the month. Since it’s coming from Jack Buser, if there’s anyone who knows what’s what, it’s him. He confirms that Home will be released before the end of this year. Ah, to hear those famous last words again, after what they said last year…

It’s been rumored about, it’s been promised off-handedly… now some real confirmation. PlayStation Home director Jack Buser has confirmed that open beta will be arriving within the month.

This follows what TedTheDog said (“…don’t fret, you’ll all be Home by Christmas”) and what John Koller mentioned (that the launch was “imminent”). Now we’re hearing from Jack Buser. If there’s anyone who knows what’s what, it’s him.

Too bad he didn’t give an exact date for the launch though.

We’ve been saying it will launch by the end of calendar year 2008. And that’s getting very, very close. Launch is imminent.

Heh. Famous last words. Didn’t they say almost the same thing last year? Ah well, if it’s coming, it’s coming. And you better be ready.

• Rumor: Home coming in ten days’ time?
• Sony: Home is imminent, more PSP games next year, hybrid Blu-ray discs
