Seems you all agree that Home is late, but I think beta or no beta, Home is STILL late. Whenever the non-beta comes out, it will still be late. I still think that making this a public beta is just a preemptive excuse for things that don't work or are unsatisfactory.

Yes, I do think it will be cool to watch it go from beta to official and beyond, but how long is it going to take things to really progress? And Sony is already placing a lot of the onus on the advertisers to create content, so I'm imagining the "full" Home release to be very ad heavy. I mean, I see a lot of people actually EXCITED that Red Bull and other companies are supposedly so involved in Home and that so much relies on those companies to make Home reach its potential--shouldn't you be careful what you wish for on that?

I think Sony should be prepared for lots of complaining about things that don't work (for which they will have the "this is only a beta" excuse at the ready) and lots of complaining about the unending advertising that I'm almost sure is going to flood Home. I'm not trying to be a hater here at all. Again, I didn't mind the new NXE for 360 and could have taken or left it. The existing PS3 interface seems fine too. I personally preferred the blades over NXE, but in the end, I don't spend much time oggling at the interface, I want to play my games!! But take a look at the financial straits Sony is in, look at all the emphasis they're already putting on corporations to make or break Home, and look at the track record of untimely releases and unfulfilled promises this gen that Sony has been famous for. After taking all that into consideration, can you honestly say that Home is going to be that great? Or is it going to be a living breathing commercial with mini games? The more advertising that comes into Home, the more Sony will recover in ad revenue for all their losses this gen.

Just think about it guys. I'm not asking you to do anything but think about it.
