I'm guessing the open beta will be as much of a beta as Gmail by fall. Its a distinction to fall back on if something goes horribly wrong, but for all practical purposes, it is the full product, as complete as any software that receives regular updates can be.

Still disappointing news, but I'd rather see it done right than rushed out. If in-game XMB still makes it out by summer, that would take a lot of the pressure off for me. That's the functionality I really care about. The rest of Home occupies the same space as achievements; they're great auxiliary features, but I can do without them.
