Kotaku, and Brian Crecente in particular, outed Home a week before GDC 07, even after Sony contacted them and explicitly asked them not to. Sony was pissed and blackballed Kotaku from then. It took a while for them to kiss and make up (and explains the animosity Kotaku has for the black box)
The point is, Sony had little choice but to spill all the beans after this.
