The New York Times has confirmed what we've all suspected: The PlayStation Home seems to be very real. Not only that, it is apparently going to hit this fall. For those who missed the hell that broke loose: We previously floated this, tussled with Sony and then kiss and made up. From the NY Times article:

It is a deficiency that Sony seems well aware of and that today's announcements are meant to address. Kotaku (kotaku.com), a popular gaming blog, reported preliminary details about PlayStation Home last week. Mr. Harrison would not discuss specifics of today's planned announcements but he laid out a clear road map of how Sony intends to improve and augment its online service.

In a telephone interview with the paper, Sony's Phil Harrison stated that last year was all about the hardware launch, while this year is about the software. He's supposed to announce PlayStation Home today at GDC, which Team Kotaku will be covering. Be sure to check back for our coverage! Brian Ashcraft
