EA Sports' Peter Moore 'wishes' for Home's release
Waiting for the oft-delayedHome service has been frustrating for PlayStation fans worldwide. However, we were surprised to hear comments from former Xbox boxx Peter Moore, echoing the sentiments that many PS3 owners have. Currently president of EA Sports, Moore told Eurogamer.net "I just wish [Home] would ship ... I [previously] questioned it a little bit, whether I'd want to wander around there. Phil Harrison showed me a demo – it's very cool, but let's go already. And so I'm disappointed that it's been pushed back a little bit again."
Although Home was on display at PlayStation Day, Kaz Hirai reiterated that it would not be released until it's done. Some commenters have joked that Home would release after the notoriously delayed Duke Nukem Forever.
Many PS3 owners are counting on the release of Home to deliver an enhanced online experience on the PSN, one that rivals the for-pay Xbox Live service. Moore's comments are most likely very similar to the consensus from the development community as well -- people need Home to release, and soon. "I really hope it gets going and becomes that portal to the PlayStation Network and we can utilise it. But boy, I just wish we'd get going."
