Playstation Room's Not Happening Anymore.

The service was essentially designed to replicate a Playstation Home-like experience on the PSP, allowing players to create avatars, decorate rooms and interact via chat and blogs. The service's been in beta for some time over in Japan, but was today closed for good. That's right, Sony are ceasing development on the Room application.

Sony thanked beta testers for taking part in the service and said that it they planned to use the data gathered to enrich PlayStation Network services. We suppose it's possible to speculate that a Room-type service (based on research from this very beta) might come as a de-facto application on the PSP2. Either that, or it just wasn't very good.
