Home Open Beta Starts 24th March in Japan?

Looks like we may see Home this year. I'm wondering if they'll hold off the official release until the crucial holiday shopping period.

Why would they hold off to winter? People will have already decided what to spend there money on..

Because by fixing it up over the coming months and "officially" announcing it then, they will get lots of press and it will sway buyers during a very crucial buying season.

Remember, you've already bought. You're not the top priority. Their main mission now is to sell systems. It's a business decision.

So, they can open beta up to make you (and I) happy while holding off some last minute extras and the official gold tag until it will count the most.

But.. im already happy dancing around the bubble machines.

I would think they would pick a new group instead of letting the folks from
the closed test continue.. but aye if they let me continue on with the open
beta as well that would be just cool .
