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.


Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. Yes, you are correct, there could be many reasons for the delay, some of which could include Sony's reach exceeding its grasp, or it making one or more mistakes earlier that will require lots of time and effort to fix. But I will stick to my point for now; no matter what the causes of the delays are, it is still ultimately better that Sony take its time and get the final product right. Otherwise, they've just been wasting their time and money, and everyone's year and a half or so of waiting would be for naught. And while IllagalPaladin and others may (or may not, I haven't the slightest idea) be right that no amount of time in the world would be enough to fix this, I think it's still better for Sony to do their best before release, just in case there is something there worth salvaging.


Hey, lol. I was just saying that I don't agree with the statement that a delay (in general) will translate into a good thing. I guess it could pertain to Home, but as an online service, I doubt it wont get tons of tweaks and changes anyways even after it comes out. I mean I guess it's a good thing, but I don't think it helps games like Blacksite: Area 51 very much, lol.
