Even when you mock me you do it by copying me.

Xbox 360 has a 30% failure rate.

Huh. Those first videos way back when made me question how they were going to pull it off. I guess not even Sony themselves knew.

I sense Bills claws casting a shadow over Home.
MS kicked the 360 out of the gates 1 year too early
Sony had sweet fuck all to show at GDC
*Bill laughed*
Phil was forced to brag about Home and LBP
*Bill laughed*
The devs said WTF we are nowhere near release
*Bill laughed*
Phil said “Screw you I’m off to Atari. They seem stable.”
*Bill laughed*

Gah. Two typos in ten minutes and your comment editing thing is on the blink again.

Especially when all the Second Life shit is holding us features that normal people might actually want, like the trophy room thingy.

Not that I want that, but then I’m not a normal person.

My thoughts precisely. At the end of the day it’s going to be a bloke running around a “fantasy” cinema and while a Swedish mother repeatedly walks into a wall because she can’t work out the controls. Can’t be that hard to do, can it?

Not that I really care about Home but… wouldn’t it have been a good idea to make a basic service, get it released, *then* start adding fancy bells and whistles? Rather than try to invent the whole of the Matrix first and release it ten years late?

Well yeah, there is that.

Took a lot of balls to delay entirely & not release a half arsed version.

I think the thing that concerns me the most is why they’d go public with it so soon then repeatedly delay it. You’re right: they can launch and add features. That’s what all online services do. So why aren’t they unless it really is borked? As you’ve mentioned, it just casts them in negative light of not being able to “handle” a large online project. Daft.

Konami? A MGSO I see. By the sound of it they just keep adding features to Home. They need a good triage or at least do a staged launch.

I’m just surprised they haven’t managed to actually launch it yet. They’ve been working on it for literally years, and I don’t seen what’s so cripplingly complicated about it at all. I mean, yeah, if they’re not up to it then that would explain it, but why such gigantic delays?

Mind you, I bet Konami’s probably asking itself similar questions this morning.

Really? A lot of people with knowledge of network services have said that Sony where in over their heads on this.

By: patlike

patlike — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 07:11:04 +0000

I’m quite surprised by this, to be honest. At least it should be something genuinely good when it launches.
