Today we’re announcing the expansion of our closed beta test for PlayStation Home to begin at the end of the month.
Later today, the PLAYSTATION Store will be updated with a PlayStation Home theme. By downloading the theme, users are submitting an application to join the PlayStation Home Beta test community. We will be using a variety of criteria including activity on the PLAYSTATION Network to determine eligibility for the Beta community. Existing beta testers have automatically qualified to be part of the expanded beta.
We’re really excited about this milestone and want our most loyal fans to be a part of the evolution of PlayStation Home.
In Europe, SCEE is also beginning their expanded closed beta, directly targeting consumers who have been most active on PLAYSTATION Network and PLAYSTATION Store. SCEE will be in email contact with their PSN audience very shortly.
Let us know what you think.
so the more games I play the better my chance? or the more I play my games online? or the more I buy games on psn? the more things I download? im a little confused so for now ill do all those things at once I guess and at a furious pace.
will we recieve an invite via psn?
I pray to the ps3 gods every day that I get an invite to the beta. Ive been waiting sooooo long for this. How are we going to get contacted and when?
i think ya want to put yourself in the playstation underground, and the GAP panel if possible.. that will better your chances.. make sure your system and games are registered on the Playstation website.. and of course, play lots of games.. download the Playstation Home theme.. thats a given..
its been interesting.. a lot to look forward to with PS Home..
Hello to the playstation network and all it’s user. As long as i had the playstation 3 I have always expected home to be something unseen by the gameing world. So i have watch the system content change still no home. Intill i seen the beta testing for home so i downloaded the theme and now i wait knowing that my chances are small. But knowing that xbox 360 is changing there dashboard into my xbox with avatars a dumb down version of home if you ask me. Action are telling me xbox knows that home is coming and going to change everything.

bla
i hope i get invited to home beta, i been patiently waiting for this, iam a very active, always online and purchase alot of stuff off the psn store aopen421@aim.com psn: ironflag555
If I would have known, all those years ago they were doing beta testing that was open to the public and not done ‘in house’, I would’ve signed up when I bought my first PS1. Live and Learn, I guess. I like to find the ‘bugs’ in games, It’s kinda fun for me.
this closed beta trial has to be going on already. i dont know if the roommers is true about the open beta happening in late nov. if it is, then the closed must be happening now for testing if they want to make it open in nov. im sure the people of ps3 would tell us something though so we can stop going crazy thinking if emails are still going out and if we can still get in. i would rather know that i did not get in then think if i can still get in if its already going on.
hopefully everyone gets a chance to give it a go. I know I’ve been waiting a long time for the release of Home.
So any one else freak out and do the fanboy scream when they saw this?
I hear the invites come out tomorrow! I cant wait and hope to get an invite. My Wife and I are really looking forward to giving this a try.
do you have to be a beta teaster to get home beta or just one of the one things in the list????
Me and my fiance are both looking forward to Home.
We both enoy designing and are very interested in the tools for designing that are in Home as well as the rest of the Home experiance.
Hopefully the 27th then??? eh Sony??? Please???
Still waiting for my chance, getting close to the end of the month, I’m on bended knee here, getting a bit scared, I won’t be included this time around, the tension, the butterflies, oh when gonna be my time, lol, seriously though I’m sweating here, waiting for that confirmation the invites have been sent and I missed mine, lol
PlayStation Home looks awesome. I just got around to watching the trailer and I am impressed I am glad this is expanding and hope I have the chance to use the beta soon. If Second Life had an update I think this might very well be it. I am not a heavy user of the PlayStation Store, but I have been enjoying PlayStation products for over a decade now and this might very well be the future.
i wood love to be in the home beta sony.
i give a chance to all your games from ps1,ps2,ps3. & i buy alot of games. give me a chance in the home beta only a chance sony.i can do alot of good to it.

Hey Ive been waiting forever for home to come out and it seems that its finally getting close to release time…. cant wait its going to be insane! but its getting even harder to wait, so this beta might help the pain (lol) it would be great to be part of the beta, but i realize it might be too late already…. but if there are any slots open,,,, GreatSpartan1 is my psn username, thanks alot! sorry that this is so long…
I cant wait till this beta comes out, hopefully it comes it tomorrow, because so far I haven’t seen it today.
if i dont receive the invite to join home when ill be able to play it??
Well i believe there should be an open beta coming out later, and one Home representative said on http://www.ign.com, that Home is 100% coming out by the end of this calender year.
ITS THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH…..STILL NO BETA….BUT GUESS WHAT JACK…I AM STILL BEING AN OPTIMIST ABOUT THE WHOLE SITUATION….WHERE IS THE BETA?!?!?!?!?!?
Yes.. UNpatiently waiting!!
Ok, I know I’m not going crazy I saw that the invitations would be going out at the end of august. Did you guys take it out because theres another delay? You gotta keep us filled in man. Home is dying.
