55° CLOUDY, TOKYO Another delay for PS3 'Home'
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 23, 2008 at 3:33 a.m.
Sony is delaying the start of its "Home" virtual world for its PlayStation 3 video game machine until the latter half of this year -- the second time the Japanese electronics and entertainment company has postponed the online interactive service.
"Home" is a real-time interactive online world much like Linden Lab's "Second Life" and other so-called "metaverse," or a virtual world in computer graphics on a personal computer that allows people to walk around and interact with each other.
The product had been initially promised for last year. But in September, Sony delayed its debut until early this year.
On Tuesday, Tokyo-based Sony Computer Entertainment said "Home" will again be delayed until the autumn, without giving a specific date.
