Noel Silvia said in a reply to SLICKT8000 on the official PS Blog :

Despite what some rumour mongers would like for you to believe, no, Home is NOT a part of this update.

I am guessing that 2.4 will bring in-game communication.
Home will be a download or something.

I am pretty sure that after gtaiv, people will forget about home for a little more than a while.

1.2 - exactly
HOME can come with a firmware but it doesn't necessary have to be included in the firmware, it is purely optional, those who don't like fancy stuff can save some space on their HDD

and since beta testers are already running home on their PS3, i am guessing HOME will be made available as a seperate download instead of necessary download with the firmware

1.5 - I read in an article that
Home isn't going to require a download. The PS3 already has what it needs in it's end. It's only a network addition that Sony has to put in place.

Do you really think home will just randomly appear in a firmware update. When home comes you will know like a week in advance. No matter what though it won't stop ps3 owners from waiting for it in firmware 2.301. 2.4 is also not confirmed. Only thing semi confirmed there is in game communication's whatever that is

2.1 - Guessing...
2.3 Store PIMPing (April, days before GTA4 and GT5p for US)

2.4 In game communication (June, days before MGS4 launch)

2.? maybe 3.00... Home integration (July or August)

we were suppose to get home in october, i wanted it so bad and then, its delayed

i never understood why there isnt an open beta where anyone can participate. if some people have it why can't others? The products not finsihed but id be better if everybody reported bugs instead of less amount of people

when it does finally release the servers will probably crash lol, everyone with a ps3 logs in at the exact same time.

This is the first Home story I've approved in a while, and I only did because it's straight from the blog.

That and people talking about Home coming every week is just getting annoying.

Some of you people here make Home sound like that Weekly World News magazine and the cover stories about how the world was defnitely ending next week. Then the next. Then the next. Then the next.

EDIT-What a surprise. There are already posts in here about when it's coming.

It's good to know it's not coming. To many people get up their hopes only to have them crashed afterwards. I could only imagine how many people would be complaining if they had said nothing and then it not show up.

Home is coming when we least expect it! On the day of the week that ends with "Y"!

i just wish people didn't get their hopes up so high.

being in the beta, i can say it's not the coming of Christ.

Do you think that might be because there are not many people using it? Aren't a lot of the features left out too?

I'm mostly stoked on Ingame XMB. I want Home but, Sony is really dragging their feet on this one.

7.1 - Agreed
The speculation is making the wait worse. Until Sony says something as far as I'm concerned its not coming for a long time.

I'd much rather have in game XMB at this point.

Sony is still oblivious to what we PS3 owners want. Ok, so HOME won't be available anytime soon as per the norm...give us in game xmb. Is it really that hard?

if there wasn't any problem with the xmb or it was raedy, dont you think we would have it by now?

i dont know about you but i'll wait until its spot on. dont give me that we've waited long enough stuff either. if we were all impatient as some.... we'd have RROD's after every hour of gameplay *hint* lol

8.2 - i think so..
idk a lot people is saying it might crash the ps3 or what not but i think like putting with the games that came out already maybe affecting it i think (my opinion) is waiting for developers to update there game so it be able to handle it idk im just talking here give me some credit for imagination lol

its been stated many times Home will be a download from ps store, yet you ppl scream home whenever a new firmware updates coming lol! ..anyways i heard in-game 'communication' will be in 2.40 so we getting closer

the 2.40 in game xmb rumors either, it appears that it may be a while before they give us any in game communication. :-(

we may b closer to 2.40 but it can still be off bar far
and home is a download not included with FW updates

butterfinger - 613 days 13 hours ago
13 - Why...
is a new store not good enough for people? In-game XMB will be here before Home and both will come when they are ready for us to have them. If you ask me, the DTS-HD MA for the blu ray was a big enough bonus in this FW update:P Besides wishful thinking, did anyone really believe they were just going to sneak Home out to us?

Yup I'm beginning to think that too. If home was a service that came _with_ the PS3, then it might be something to brag about, but here we are, 6 (or is it 7?) months after it was supposed to be released, and we are still not even at the open beta stage. I would be very surprised if we see the full realease of home before Q4 this year. And let's face it: most people aren't going to be _too_ interested in a beta, after all, it's buggy and not feature complete. What's more, they've only just started to add the features into home that people really want, like game launching. And it seems as though devs will have to actually implement something so that you can do that with their game. And because home has been endlessly delayed, I don't think that most devs will have bothered, meaning, that you will only be able to launch into a very limited selection of games from home when it first launches. Same goes for trophies. In all honesty, all I really want as a service is voice chat THAT ACTUALLY WORKS and a way to always be able to contact my friends and then launch into ANY game with them. I don't need some lame 3d world where I can buy clothes for a fee but I CAN'T launch into most games with my friends.

i couldnt have said it any better. i just want to be able to have a unified friends list, the ability to lauch a game with friends and also be able to chat to my friends without having to quit my game. if i had those features HOME would be worthless to me. my patience is wearing thin. everytime sony does not release home the hype grows stronger i fear that when home does luanch 1 either ppl lose intrest and it fails or ppl look for all the bugs and complain about it till they scrap the whole thing. either way it doesnt live up to its hype
