Home, it’s where the heart is. It’s also where Sony is pinning their hope for at least online equality, if not dominance over Xbox Live at some point. The poor showing of their Home beta has caused Sony to push the October release date to spring of 2008. What is going on?

Gamasutra has recently reported that Sony has yet to fill the position of “Home Content Producer.” What is the person in this position responsible for?

1. Developing content strategies for Home to achieve Home business objectives. (not important!)
2. Coordinate development efforts of Home content.(Making sure the vending machine in the break room is stocked has a higher priority!)
3. Act as a liaison between first and third party game publishers/advertisers and external developers of Home content. (Totally unnecessary.)
4. Analyze community response to content and iterate strategies accordingly. (Who cares what those guys want?)

Did they think that they could proceed without someone in what seems like a vital role? Well, this IS Sony. They must think that the position is soooo “Last Gen!”Oh, if you feel that you are qualified you can apply here. Go there, make it work, and give the Sony disciples something to testify about. Maybe I should apply, I’ve got some free time.

Surely there were other reasons that slowed the Home project? Maybe they are all playing Halo 3?

How do you feel about Home??
