Sony Guarantees Playstation "Home" Launch Before 2009
Sony's Martijn Van der Meulen gave an update on the progress of Sony's Playstation "Home" environment, telling IGN there is "a 100 percent guarantee that Home will be released by the end of this calendar year." Originally intended for use on the PS2, the release was pushed back several times as Sony sought to improve the concept. One thing Sony has been trying to accomplish is making the game "safe" and accessible to kids while maintaining an adults-only area. They maintain that it is not a social network, but rather a "visual representation of the PlayStation community."
A "visual representation of the PlayStation community"? Now there's a scary thought.
I hope it also comes with a 100% guaranteed money back if I'm dissatisfied with the community.
Eat sleep die
a 100 percent guarantee that Home will be released by the end of this calendar year
Thank God. And here I was worried that I might not have anything to do after finishing Duke Nukem Forever.
Considering what goes on in second life in the adult areas, I cannot wait to see what happens in the adult-only areas with PS3 graphics.
The more people I meet, the better I like my dog.
Calculon: And you say you can guarantee me the Oscar?
Bender: I can "guarantee" anything you want.
I didn't say it wasn't going to happen, I just said they'll rush it.
And I don't own an Xbox 3shitty, so complete miss there. If I wanted yet another half-assed Microsoft product, I'd get a copy of Vista.
So he just threw the guaranty out there but didn't back it with anything. What happens if they don't release it in time? SO what would you like to see as a penalty? I say go old school and have him eat a hat.
On the flip side of things, at least you'll finally be able to answer the question "who the hell is buying the PS3 anyway?"
Wise men say, "Forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza."
And I don't own an Xbox 3shitty, so complete miss there. If I wanted yet another half-assed Microsoft product, I'd get a copy of Vista.
You'd be a LOT happier with an XBOX 360 than a copy of Vista.

Technically doesn't that depend on whether he's happier with a red ring or a blue screen?
which is totally what she said
Tommy: Let's think about this for a sec, Ted, why would somebody put a guarantee on a box? Hmmm, very interesting. ...What?
Ted Nelson, Customer: Go on, I'm listening.
Tommy: Here's the way I see it, Ted. Guy puts a fancy guarantee on a box 'cause he wants you to fell all warm and toasty inside.
Ted Nelson, Customer: Yeah, makes a man feel good.
Tommy: 'Course it does. Why shouldn't it? Ya figure you put that little box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter, am I right, Ted?
[chuckles until he sees that Ted is not laughing too]
Ted Nelson, Customer: [impatiently] What's your point?
Tommy: The point is, how do you know the fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy; well, we're not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that's all it takes. The next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser, and your daughter's knocked up. I seen it a hundred times.
Ted Nelson, Customer: But why do they put a guarantee on the box?
Tommy: Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. But for now, for your customer's sake, for your daughter's sake, ya might wanna think about buying a quality product from me.
Ted Nelson, Customer: [pause] Okay, I'll buy from you.
Tommy: Well, that's...

No sir, he's X. Gotta love roman numerals.
