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.

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.

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.

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

Spiritshrine | August 28th, 2008 at 12:29 am
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.
