Hi PLAYSTATION 3 community,
I am so very happy to announce that PlayStation Home has now officially entered into Open Beta. Restart your PLAYSTATION 3, and you will see the PlayStation Home icon under the PlayStation Network column of the XMB. Click on the icon, and you are in.
Getting to this point has required a tremendous amount of participation, input, care, and passion from the thousands of beta testers who helped make PlayStation Home what it is today. So to all of you that have tested, from all of us on the PlayStation Home team here at Sony: “Thank You!”
For those of you that are new to PlayStation Home, be sure to plug in a USB keyboard (or pair your Bluetooth headset) and start meeting your fellow PS3 owners. And remember, even with all the spaces, rewards, items, and activities available today, what you see now is just the beginning. Home will grow, change, and evolve very quickly – and it is all based on your feedback.
This is your community, and we are listening.
Monsta… outline how’d you get in?
the severs are down till 7pm
est
PS3 HOME! really? well I have to see it to believe it!
OMG i just got in location Texas
ЕСТЬ КТО РУСССКИЙ??? Я НЕ ШАРЮ КАК ПОДКЛЮЧИТЬСЯ НА ЕТУ ХРЕНЬ…. =((( НАПИШИТЕ МНЕ НА МАЙЛ XAKEP121@MAIL.RU
I’m from New Hampshire and I’ve tried maybe 5 or 6 times and I’ve gotten to where it said signing in, then it popped up with the message saying /login account
i think im almost in…the screens like blurry with the www symbol still up
Jack you and your crew are so full of [DELETED]… get to work.. and fix the [DELETED] thing
Damn did everyone get in all of a sudden? Where are all the mssgs?
iv been trying to get in since 11 am and no luck wtf is up with that!?
well the second time was a failure. But I’m not expecting much on day zero. It is still beta, so that and the amount of people immediately trying to get in, I kind of expected this..
IVE BEEN WAITIN 4 ABOUT 4HRS N NADA !!
NOT HAPPY !! HOW LONG DO U GOTTA WAIT TIL IT
SIGNS U IN ??
WTF I cant sign in, big wait for no reason… Yeah I got home, but just an icon…
I keep getting error code, I know its probably because its super busy with all the online people, but sony… you were suppose to make everyone happy
SONY IS UNRELYABLE AND FULL OF $HIT
Yeah they were supposed to expect this!
I’m selling my PS3 and getting an XBOX if I’m not able to sign in until 7:15 PM. Time starts now… going straight to Bestbuy at 7:16 PM
So I’m just on the browser seeing what everybody else on the “blog” is saying.
sony is unprepaired yet again…
First of it’s kind? ROTF. Second Life, any MMORG, Google’s even closing down one.
It’s a neat concept when it’s working, but get it right before you release it, even a beta shouldn’t be crashing on day 1.
Getting all sorts of error now. Can’t even Accept the TOS anymore.
Keep having a network error :( please fix it soon. i really want to get on
im thinking about buying an xbox as well… the sony ps3 is a 500$ waste of money…
4 hrs .. n still nothin !! ps why is that ??
Totally Agree gekdadcanada #318
i got in so its partially fixed
damnit i thought i was about to get in and then it froze on a blurry screen :(
this happen to any1 else?
im going to wreck some some [DELETED] in gta4 while i wait
rofl, sony doesnt care if you sell your ps3 to break box 360, that thing is piece of junk, why would you pay $199 for cheap hardware made by bill gates, I rather buy 3 wiis ten a 360
then*
Right CanadianWolf… or a Wii..
Ill buy your PS3
@Zinacef
Bandwidth is not the issue here, believe me.
I can almost guarantee you this is a server load issue.
Here’s an idea of what I’m talking about on a small scale: I work as a programmer/server administrator for a local company. We get over 500,000 hits a day to our webserver. This started to result in the single webserver config that we HAD to run very slowly and not respond to requests in a timely fashion, or not respond at all. So we added a server. Last I checked, Sony had sold roughly 12 million playstation 3s.
And they just gave EVERYONE access to the Home Beta. Think about that, and think about the fact that this application is likely a bit more complicated than just a webserver.
Psycho how much?
i keep getting that login server error thing
it was working just fine last night.
i would have thought the servers where prepared for all these new people logging in :X
well i hope this gets fixed!
but anyways for what ive tried on home so far, its great, and i see true potential, good job sony! :)
What the heck is going on? I now either get an error message or the request timed out. UN-Release Open Beta so everything can go back to NORMAL and I can get back on. This isn’t going very smoothly!
I’m from Portugal and i want play Red Bull Event :/
From the beta i don’t see anything new unless the comercials
HELL NO… it’s still a PS3..no matter how pissed off I am…
Man, you guys got to take it easy. It’s still the 11th, and it seems like they’re working on it. I wouldn’t doubt that the servers will open up sometime tonight. It’s frustrating for me too. As long as they are communicating with us, I have no problem. I wish they answered some of the questions/complaints on here though so as to keep us updated. But from the sounds of it, they are working hard to get the service up and running. Give them at least until midnight.
Digplans… thats the problem… There is no official communication
i was on earlier… now just sitting on “signing in”
(west coast here)
Well, I can’t connect because it says I am not old enough. However, being that I am 29, exactly how old do you need to be?
XBOX 360’S 33% RED RING OF DEATH, JUST LIKE BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH! PS3 OWNS THE 360 BY 100% Same with Wii!!!

What he said.
@315 – Yeah, 360 is going to be owned by me soon, as well.
please fix these error, i have been waiting from 8 am
Who here is Homeless????
error message :(
from franklin indiana
anyone from vancouver bc have home yet
this not a dissapointment…its actually fun
I AM HOMELESSS!!
Pathetic – 360 launches NXE to 14 million (actual) active users with only minor blips (some icons loaded slow the first night) while PSN completely crashes.
Curious that Sony launches HOME the night NPD releases November sales numbers (which alledgedly show 360 with a 3:1 advantage in this critical Holiday month). I wonder if Sony launched this before they were ready in the hopes of defraying some attention from that embarrassment.
