Home Beta Delayed? Sony, what are you thinking?

While the constant delays get annoying very quickly, it's still better to delay the service than have it be dead on arrival because it's buggy and crappy.
I'll admit to not having any interest in this service, but for those of you who do, wouldn't you rather wait a few more months to ultimately get what you were promised, rather than insist that it be rushed and get something that's not worth waiting as long as you already have?

And to those who are miffed about Sony breaking another promise over the release date, just remember that if the final product is good, you'll forget all about the wait. Or do you still hear people going on about how many times Ocarina of Time was delayed?

Well, one of the key questions should be "Why is this being delayed?"

If we look at massively multiplayer games the closed beta typically represents a stage where most of the features have been defined and implemented and the content is being rapidly created; delays that happen at this stage are more often caused by features being poorly thought out, or content taking too long to develop, than from bugs needing to be fixed.
