Anyone want to speculate on this? They've never really said anything about a specific release date other than "September or October." And, Sony is going to have to come up with SOME response to Halo 3...
Why would they release on the one day nobody would use it?

PS3 owners would, I rightly dont give a damn about Halo 3... so doesnt a large part of the gaming user base on the PS3/PS2/GC/DS/PSP/Wii.

Because its better than xbox live.

Perhaps that wasn't the best way to phrase it. Let me put it another way. When the news media, gaming and mainstream alike, is talking about how huge Halo 3 is, Home will only be a sidenote on most people's minds. You can argue all you want on this point, but it will be fact. I'm sure most ppl remember the Halo 2 launch and how that was. It's just a terrible idea to release something like Home, that isn't even a game, against Halo 3 because everybody will be fixated on Halo 3.

but wasnt that effect mainly on all games that were on the original xbox.. I went to the midnight launch with a friend for Halo 2, awesome party at EB btw, it was mainly the other games being released for the 25th on the xbox that were forgotten, the PS2/GC game sales suffered but sold better then the other xbox games did that day. So launching Home would just make it so that people dont use it for a day or two as it not being a game and being offered for free on all PS3s will make it so that it does gain avatars/players as its free.

My point was not about sales, but the hype potential. Why put up a relatively anticipated update(would update be the right word to describe it?) against a mega hype machine like Halo 3, when you can do it sometime before or after where Sony will get far notice and maybe more interest?
My roomate is in the beta... we loaded it up. Screwed around for a while... never loaded it again. It is exactly how I felt about second life. I don't really have fun walking around and doing nothing... id rather play a game.
Maybe home will kick off (heck second life did). I just don't see why people are excited over it... it looks pretty boring to me.
The problem with the beta is mostly all of the good features haven't been made available yet, until then I'm not going to judge the beta.
