Really? Or are they just speculating from the Home Managers comments on the PS forums saying he believes FW 2.5 and Home 1.0 will come in Oct or more precisely he guessed at late Oct, exactly when LBP releases. A good time to make a big brand push when MS have their new dashboard releasing just a few weeks later.

Maybe they have a source I dont know, but we can all put 2 + 2 together. Guess we'll just have to see but if I was a betting man, Id say late Oct is going to hold a lot for the PS3.

Agree, I wouldn't be surprise if Home is released with LBP. Imagine giant sack boys running around in Home. That would be great.

Holy shi_t. R.I.P Xbox360.

No price cut or games can save that system now.

Still getting Fable 2 though.

And when that happens it will be the down fall of the 360 and the PS3 will probable rise to the top b/c both HOME and LittleBigPlanet are the most amazing things Sony has ever come up with.

2 - It would be an interesting idea
I'm not so confident that it's the truth, but it may be a good way to do it. Releasing in front of M$ and with a surefire win game would be smart, and not out of the realm of possibilities.

It is a rumor though, so take it with a grain of salt.

4.1 - Agreed
LittleBigPlanet enforces the motto, "Play. Create. Share.", and Home does exactly that, but not to the extent that LittleBigPlanet offers. Both services released at the same time will definitely gain new customers and it'll be a good move for Sony.

...but I think it's too good to be true. I'm done waiting for Home. I won't be surprised if it actually comes out next year (even though the release date was slated for late 2008).

we're all skeptical of course due to Home's development history, but it really seems about time to release it..

and let's face it, with Microsoft's persistent price cuts- Sony could do with a one-two punch of a couple of juggernauts

But that is just a little too good to be true. Truth be told, LBP is a community driven game so Home coming out at the same time makes perfect sense since HOME might be vital to LBP's growth.

But still, I'll believe it when I see it

No, the rumour is their release dates correspond. Not Home comes WITH LittleBigPlanet.

Home will be a PSN DL made available to everyone. Probably accompanied by a FW update (well that's almost definite).

LBP and HOME.
That would be sweet. I can see it happening, but question, isnt HOME still in closed BETA? Then it would be HOME OPEN BETA wouldn't it?.
Well anyway, it would be real sweet if they had 3D Trophie support ready when HOME AND LBP come out.

16.1 - Well that is and at the same time isn't the idea
I think (not facts) that they are looking to HOME to rapidly build LBP's community. If you looked at LBP's trophies, you can see that people HAVE to socialize. And some of the trophies require you to socialize with people NOT in your friends list. So I guess the idea is to meet people in HOME thereby expanding on LBP's playability (which is already infinite)

That's what was said about the whole XBOXPure thing. Let's wait and see, eh? If sony are releasing Home this year, you can bet it will be on the 31st December.

Considering it is version 0.98, they've been considerably expanded the private betas recently with more invites to come and the director of home has posted on the ps.blog confirming a fall release...I'd say it's fairly likely to be true with or without a source to back it up.

Its most likely that sony are aiming for late October but can't be sure to get all the bugs fixed by that time, therefore aren't committing to a more precise date.

I think LBP was build alongside Home in terms of functionality. Strategy with LBP could also be to drive the demand for Home with tight integration.

It would be ultimately funny if the LBP commercial said, "Now including Playstation Networks Home." The net will crash like the stock market in the 40's.
