Spring of 2008, to be exact. In the same keynote that Kazuo Hirai confirmed, demoed, and loved the DualShock 3 controller for PlayStation 3s, the CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment also stated that PlayStation Home, announced earlier this year, would be delayed until early next year.

Although mapped and on target for a release later this year, PlayStation Home would enter another term development for improvements to its services.
