Sony announced it has canceled Room, its social networking service planned for release on PSP.

First unveiled during the Tokyo Game Show in 2009, Room was positioned as Sony's portable extension of PlayStation 3's Home service. Room allowed users to customize the look of his or her avatar, decorate a room, post blogs, and chat with friends.

Room had been in beta in Japan since Fall 2009. Sony provided no explanation for canceling the service.

It actually looked pretty good, sucks they wont be releasing it

Aw man i was hoping for this to come out

bad call by sony its looked sweet

did you know Sony also closed HOME social network system. Ive tried logging on and I got a reply saying please stay away from HOME and enjoy the PSN network experince.

i think that was a good save because not very many people have psps and would actually use that service...
when i had my psp i would be on the road and i dont think there were wifi spots for miles and miles so i would have never used it even if i had it today...

meh i only use my psp when i travel ect.. and it doesnt have online then anyway so no loss for me

That sucks i was lookin forward to it

lately sony is being a piss off

It probably would of been boring like HOME anyway
