SOE planning to launch PS3 version of Free Realms in 2010 photo

Those itching for a free-to-play MMO to drop onto PSN will have to scratch and steel themselves for a bit longer. If current plans hold, the PS3 version of Free Realms won’t launch until next year.

Replying to a question at GDC Austin earlier this afternoon, SOE president John Smedley pegged the MMO’s console arrival as mid-2010. "It's next year sometime, toward the middle of the year,” he said after initially giving the questioner a tease of a response.

Think about it this way, prospective players: this wait gives you some time to prepare. You can start storing food in your closet and gathering empty jugs and buckets to do your business in if things on the plains get too hectic to leave the living room (or cave, wherever you plan on gaming). See? Huge waits aren’t always bad.

I got in on the beta of free realms and though experience was pretty limited with it (it only held my interest for an hour) it was decent enough for a free game. Honestly, I don't think anyone reading Dtoid would get into it but if you have kids they might.

I gave the open-beta a spin as well, and was impressed with the quality of it for a free MMO. I've even thought about going back as time has gone by, but the problem is that to get into the stuff that actually would hold my attention, I'd either need to spend more money or get into the TCG side of it a lot more.

Whenever it hits the PSN and I can do that from the comfort of my couch without the lappy burning my legs, maybe I'll give it another try.

I played the PC beta and it's a good game to maybe play with your kids or something... eh, it's free. I too might give it another shot when it comes to the PS3.

Hey Brlito: Thats your opinion and no one really cares what you think.

So if you buy the ps3 version of free realms you get everything from the premium version for free forever right?
