Speaking at Sony’s E3 conference, SCEA CEO and president Jack Tretton told gamers that PS3 virtual world Home will be worth the wait when it finally launches after a series of delays, but he failed to announce a launch date for the online initiative.

“Your patience will be more than rewarded,” Tretton promised.

He added that the service has been receiving “great support” from publishers with regard to game-specific spaces within Home.

While a video of the service showing players accessing games such as Warhawk and Resistance: Fall of Man was shown in the background, Tretton said that EA, Ubisoft, LucasArts, Activision and sports giant Nike had all partnered for the service.

Earlier this month PlayStation Network director Eric Lempel told Edge-Online that Home was on schedule to launch this fall in the form of a “fully robust” public beta.
