We've seen these roadmaps before, haven't we? The ones we've come across in the past seem little more than virtual post-it notes written down by SCEE staff, detailing all the content they would like to get out to the public within the next few months. Unfortunately, it never seems to go that way, does it? Case in point: compare these two lists from yesteryear. One of which was "leaked" and one of which was posted on ThreeSpeech. Not only do they both list the same games coming out in different months, but some titles haven't even been released yet. So, you'll understand our skepticism at the latest "leaked EU PSN release schedule."
The list, which can be seen after the break, starts off well enough with PAIN and Gran Turismo 5: Prologue being released in the next couple of weeks, as we know to be true. As for the rest, we'll be very intrigued to see how closely the PSN updates resemble this list in the following weeks. Home being listed under July means diddly-squat until Sony confirms it. We're going to save some time (and our poor Sony contacts' inbox) by pretending we contacted them for a statement. Here it is: "Sony does not comment on rumour of speculation." We hope you feel enlightened.
The most interesting part of lists like this are unannounced games. There are a few to be seen, but the one that catches our eye the most has to be Ratchet: Quest for Booty. A perfectly Insomniac-crafted title if ever we heard one. We're reminded of the number that popped up in the Insomniac recruitment video - 0708. Not, as we believed, referring to a demo for Resistance 2 but, perhaps instead, a release date for a smaller PSN title in the Ratchet and Clank universe. It all seems to fit together. If we hear anything more, we'll let you know.

Wont july technically make sense to release HOME. I mean MGS4 is gonna be released and with all that hype and to top it off, home launches and Sony could get the momentum train running at full speed.

Im with chodal, this looks like some net marks "wish list" for psn updates more than reality, but only time will tell.

If I open Microsoft Excel, put a bunch of games and fake release dates in it, and take a screenshot, maybe I could get my work on PS3 Fanboy too! =D

Ohhhh.... This looks like a nice, Release- IF its true (Its capitalized for a reason) but The Europeon Store seems to have alot of its games filter down to the New Zealand Store, And I'd love to play Echochrome on my PS-whatever, I've been dieing for an english version since I played the PSP Demo- but God of War Chains of Olumpus Demo- That's a PSP Game unless its being ported to the PS3- It makes me lean towards a fake list

Can only be fake. Yesterday, Sony confirmed Home for SPRING. Spring ends the 20th of JUNE..... So Home CAN'T be released in July. It will be for sure released between the 21st of march and the 20th of june.

Anyone else notice that in May we get something called "The last guy." Excuse me but, what the hell man? What kind of game ignores all rules of capitalization. This has gotten me beyond upset.
