Jack Tretton, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment of America, has admitted that the PlayStation 3’s Home Beta (the upcoming avatar-based achievement and communication system) will not be out in 2007.
In an interview, the SCEA boss answered the question of where the beta is, by saying: “We’re looking to do a [Home] Beta in the first quarter of calendar 2008.” Which isn’t unexpected after the initial Home announcement for October 2007, but not too much of a delay. He goes on to point out that Sony is “not 100 percent sure on when the full-blown release will be in terms of an actual date.” — From Mercury, via 1UP
