PlayStation Home 100% guaranteed for 2008 release
86
... by Martijn Van der Meulen. To be fair, Van der Meulen is a producer on the Home project, who apparently assured IGN during Games Convention that the service would launch sometime this year. "Van der Meulen told me (without hesitation) that it is a 100 percent guarantee that Home will be released by the end of this calendar year. He has absolutely no doubt that this will be the case," IGN's Ryan Clements reports. Well, there you have it, just blame Van der Meulen when Sony rushes to get you all moved in later this year and, with the first step you take into your new Home, you fall right through the ... map.

This is the best news I've heard all day. Although... I don't know how much I'm going to believe in it. Home is reaching out and touching the la-la land of vaporware.

"Products with unspecified release dates or long development times that outwardly demonstrate regular, verifiable progress in production are not normally labeled vaporware."

Is anyone really excited for this anyway? I mean, people don't really play Second Life anymore, right?

I don't know. Second Life lost all that praise and hype that was surrounding it when it was discovered that Linden Labs was badly overestimating the number of people who actually played
It's certainly less significant, but probably still very popular.
But home is a whole different idea. A more interactive UI, and the seamlessness of Home's transition from Home to media to game to whatever is what will make or break it in the end

@ Drew
He's not trolling.I know that troll-o-detector got a little dull ever since pure trolls either became mature or don't comment very often anymore but you've got to know the difference.
And yes, I'm not excited for this.Not because I don't have a PS3, but because I think it's as a pointless waste of Sony's resources and I don't see myself actively using Home.To me, a console is something that plays Video Games and not a place where you can "hang out".To quote somebody's comment from Joystiq, "If I wanted to play Second Life, I would've played Second Life.".
With Sony shamelessly delaying Home over and over again, even the toughest fanboys seem to be loosing hope...

Yes, Sony has a lot of credibility when it comes to promising stuff.Especially when you remember two HDMI/Six USB controversy and their full backwards compatibility.
By the way, who's that Crocodile Man? I'm sure I saw him before...Captain Planet maybe...

Quick google + broodwich tell me it's from TMNT but I've never watched the 1987 series. But why does he feel so familiar then?

He looks like a cartoony version of killer croc from Batman. It probably was TMNT though.

Sony should back that up, give us pitchforks and torches and a few bricks, so that if it doesn't release, we can go raid thier studios as mobs.

All i know of the avatar system is this:
JPEG is definitely supported
Bitmap is definitely not
Do not try to upload using Internet Explorer, because it will fail
I never explored some of the other formats, since most of my avatars are SWAT Kats screen-captures which started in a native bmp format, and had to be converted to jpg
