Sony's Playstation Home, the community-based which will allow PS3 users to interact, communicate, join online games, shop, share private content and even build and show off their own personal spaces to others in real time, will not be released this year, as was expected.

In Sony's keynote speech, at the opening of the Tokyo Game Show, President Kaz Hirai revealed that it will not be released over the Autumn period because Sony are still tinkering around so that it "truly meet the needs and feedback of the users." "We want to make sure we have a full range of service,." the President commented, in a brief Q&A session.

It's now believed that Playstation Home will launch in Spring 2008.
