PlayStation Home Beta Extended Today

458 8

If you’ve applied for the PlayStation Home closed beta, but have yet to receive an invite, you may want to check your inbox again as we’re opening PlayStation Home’s expanded closed beta again to thousands of new beta testers. The closed beta test is going quite well, so please don’t sweat if you didn’t make today’s list, as this wave of invitations will be followed by many more before our launch into open beta.

Home - Apartment 2

Since the initial wave of new invitations went out a few weeks ago, we’ve been having an incredible amount of fun in PlayStation Home meeting each other, launching into games together, and dancing the night away by Listen@Home! To give you an idea of what we’re up to, we gave some folks in the media a sneak peak of PlayStation Home. Check out their tour recaps:

Can’t wait to see everyone in PlayStation Home – I’m always down for a game of pool or rocking the robot lock!

See you in there.

  • Damn it! i better get in this time!

    I downloaded the theme and buy stuff ALL the time! Around 14 PSN games, TONS of Rock Band content, and I play PS3 every day. How did I not get in the first time!?

  • Over an hour later, nothing for me. That kinda sucks.

  • No invite yet again, thanks a lot. Just make it open beta already.

  • People…Sony want Beta testers…not whiners right ?

    You are there to test the application….suggest possible future updates, log problems, etc.

    Come on, be nice….you want in….don’t complain so much.

  • Jack you tease us with HOME beta and I fall for it every time. I have given up hope for entry into the closed Beta. I await the open release of the service.

  • Cool. I really hope I get in since today is my birthday… This would be a sweet birthday present! Thanks for the update.

  • @154: That’s exactly what I’d be more than happy to contribute 20% of my gaming time to do, if only they sent me an invite.

  • I mean having HOME would be great since everyone I know comes to me for Tech advice.

    My current holiday advice/standing order is: I use my PS3 as an elaborate Linux box/ Heater.

    Hoping a Home Beta invite would spark interest in returning to the PS3… alas, other things in life.

  • i hope i get in

  • PSN ID: SBN_Rashad_850 has bought over $200 in playstation network games in content + HD movies from the new video service and im on all the time playing online and chatting an adding new people i have the new PSP SLIM why havent i been choosen for the Home Beta i got over 60 PS3 games i just dont understand!!!! Sony can confirm this with my underground account please send me an invite!!!!!

  • i hope i get the invite…can´t wait

  • Is it possible that Home could be used by SOE sometime in the future as a framework for an actual MMORPG on the PS3? If so that would be awesome. I would assume that some of the technical hurdles that have been overcome in the development of Home could be applied to other games as well? It kinda stinks that ps3 has so much potential in this area yet we’re limited to options like playing the ps2 version of FF11.

  • Jack how does it feel to have so much power? You do realize that you possess all of the answers for everybody’s Home questions. ;D

  • I’ve been in the Home beta from the start and would like to know why nobody from SCEA takes part in the beta with us? Meaning, there is no communication. Only person we had (who did a good job) was Ted. Why don’t you guys (SCEA) have communications with us?

  • will there be another wave tommorrow since i really want to see our home:)

  • Stoffinator asks a great question.

    Whether we get an answer or not… I find this extension very encouraging. Thank you and congrats once again.

  • i hope i get in

  • how many mails have been send?

  • With Russia Sony dont have ANY communications ;)

  • Are the e-mails still being sent today? I understand there will be waves, but I want to get the beta now!!! :p

  • Sorry I meant today as in being sent at this time…

  • eric i dont now, i can whait

  • Mr. Buser, can I have a beta invite please? I helped 45 people get into the Socom beta buy pre purchasing vouchers for them, at no charge to them. I am just so bored lately and would love to try home.
    Thanks either way. psn: SOOPERGOOMAN187

  • oh well all i know is sony kicked me around to much with its delays….so i bought a 360…sony gets me so angry sometimes

  • All I see from these comments is that most of us haven’t gotten in so either were all unlucky or that they really haven’t’ gone out yet for most of us

  • Hook me up Jack.

  • Great news!
    Hope I can get in a have a few friends who got in.
    Thousands eh?
    fingers crossed

  • europe, please?

  • omg i hope i get a invite i downloaded the theme as soon as i saw it on the ps store

  • № 175 – Like on E3’08? -.-

  • i agree with stinkey

  • Damn no invite yet. I guess ill wait till the next one.

  • I received my invite. See you on the inside!
    Thanks Sony!!!

  • Conch_Bubby any proof?

  • I GOT IN! lol

  • i just download the theme if i had know that i would be submitted 2 the home beta i would have gotten it the very first day it was release but this is the first time i have been here since i just got my ps3 like a month and a half ago guess i need 2 come more often

  • You know what’s funny? I couldn’t apply because during the entire Home beta application timeframe, my PS3 was at sony repair…pathetic.

  • Sounds awesome but do you have to be over 18? I’m seventeen so I wasnt sure if their was some kind of legal beta age?

  • eh, nothing for me.

  • w00t! just got my email! download is somewhat slow though. come on Home Beta!

  • it´s just pissing me off!

  • So… should I put my Home theme back up? Because I changed it back to my Pixeljunk Eden theme last night. Did I just disqualify myself!?

  • well looks liek im not getting it oh well im very busy most of my time right now playing ps3 games and other stuff well im off 2 bed

  • Well… I really hope this wasn’t because of my e-mail that I sent out today. That would be very lame. Please add me. My PSN ID is TurkReno.

  • I didnt get a invite :( i hope i get it sooner or later

  • i’m still waiting to get my e-mail… :S, i’m a quore susbcriber, i have like 26 games owned (14 blu ray games), i have both of my ps3 registered (60&80gyg), i have registered all my games, my four sixaxis, and my only dual shock, i’m a gap member, what i have to do to get my invitation to the beta?
    ok.. sorry 4 that.. i love my ps3 (i had the socom beta, and i’m waiting for de resistence 2 beta xd)
    Pd: when is the little big planet beta?
