Sony: Home is 100% definitely arriving in 2008 photo

Everybody knows about Home by now. Sony's proposed "social network that isn't actually a social network stop comparing it to Second Life" service has been in development since 1534, and sometimes it seems like the thing will never arrive. Sony is adamant, however, that Home will be available sometime over the next few months.

Martijn Van der Meulen, a producer on Home, has done his bit to reinstall belief in the product by stating that the game will "100 percent" arrive before the end of this calender year. He was also quick to restate that the service will remain a free one, and that only premium content will require gamers to reach for the credit card. 

So, there you are, Home is going to definitely appear before 2008 is finished, and we all know than an industry man's word is his bond. You best have some spare cash in your bank account soon then -- virtual T-shirts won't simply buy themselves.

At least it's coming out soon, now let's hope it's not a big bag of fail, I really am on the fence about this 'game'.

If Sony has their way, it will be a social network, but then it won’t be. Then it will be a games lobby, but then it won’t be. Then it will be a way to achievement center, but then it won’t be, but then it will be a media center, but then it won’t be, then it will be a online network video conference VOIP based text to text service, but then it wont be.

Is it just me or does the logo look like a house with everything inside of it falling out a hole in the bottom?

Good, I didn't want to have to wait till 2009 to be disappointed in this.

Good, because if it doesn't come out this year, we will have to wait until 3012 for the planets to align again. Plus, no one likes to ruin a perfectly good mystical ruby suspended between the fangs of a giant idol snake without bringing about social networkage.

Good, now I can finally start hearing people complain about how it sucks instead of it's gonna suck.

Also, if it comes out this year it'll launch when LBP does.

Here's to NOT being virtually homeless in 2008-2009! Living in a virtual cardboard box all these months has been exhausting!
