Damn, I bought a PS3 for things like this and little big planet but I only bought it recently so I have no chance of getting in as I can’t sign up for it anywhere. :(

Albanian_Killa  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:47 pm

I have to say, I’m getting a little tired of this little dance Sony customers are having to do with Sony. I’ve been a PS3 owner since the first month of release. I play the system every chance I get, and I always buy games for it. I play online on the PLAYSTATION Network a lot, so my gaming record is solid, I know that. How come I still don’t have an invite to the Home beta. What about my e-mail I was supposed to get for the SOCOM beta because I had Qore episode 1? I mean, I had a key already, but I was planning on giving my Qore code to a friend, but I never got one. I feel cheated. The public release of Home better be soon because others, like me, are beginning/have already lost interest in this. We’ve been waiting since GDC 07, and now it’s almost 2009. Come on Sony, toss us a bone. Stop leaving some of your customers in the dust. Hopefully, PS3Fanboy has it right that you guys are releasing this late October with FW 2.50.

Having more closed beta invites means we gotta wait longer for the open beta…

So far no email for me… I’ll be dang excited if I do happen to get one! :D

ninjastu  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:48 pm

Oh and Im from the UK so thats a definate no for me >_>

nmc75  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:49 pm

Any plans for Sony EYE support within our Home space? It’d be cool to put a live cam stream of my real living room into my virtual Bravia TV in my virtual pad.

vandam  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:49 pm

LOL I’m still waiting on my Socom beta invite. So my E-mail must really be slow. but thanks for the head’s up. I was geting sick of looking at empty in box.

DrunkMiffy@  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:49 pm

Does this include the Uk..?

GGCAN  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:49 pm

Just want to wish the Home Newbies that do get the e-mails a Welcome.

Come enjoy and log your comments and suggestions.

Thanks Jack, some of my PS3 friends have been really depressed as they didn’t receive an e-mail previously.

Jenovah  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:50 pm

Sigh….No emails for me again :(

andyrj82  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:50 pm

can’t wait for that email, this might sound crazy but, I bought my 60Gig JUST because I saw the preview of HOME in San Francisco PS Store on the display TV.

its about time Sony… come on with it, we will help you reach this HUGE mile stone with this one…

No console have ever attempt such a FREE stunt hehehe

I love my PS3

ZombieLover23  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:51 pm

I’ll be checking my email too!

Spectrace  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:52 pm

if we get the email will there be a time limit on redeeming it?

i won’t be home for about 3-4 hours tonight and probably won’t be able to check my email till tomorrow morning.

**oh and finally a post about the extended home beta. why wasn’t there a post when invites went out on the 2nd? i hope i get in**

Solidus_Dave  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:52 pm

Can you comment on the (late) october release for the open Home Beta together with the new Firmware 2.5?
http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/09/19/home-manager-says-firmware-2-50-home-1-00-set-for-october/
maybe a little peek what features the Firmware has? And will there be no other Firmware-Updates until then?

On side note: The idea of showing friends in Home your videos from the PS3-HDD (via virtual-HDTV in the apartment) was one of the coolest Features that you brag about from the beginning Presentation, please don’t drop it!

EvoAnubis  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:53 pm

I also wouldn’t carelessly break the NDA like it seems more people are doing.

DarkLeaper  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:53 pm

Nothing here either. I’ve had a PSN account since Day 1, have thrown money into it, etc, etc.

You sure that this isn’t the”Qore Subscriber Phase II initiative” for Home Beta invites?

Stealthcorazon  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:53 pm

I’m in =).

See you all there!

Toddy2Hotty  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:54 pm

Hurray for expanded invites! Question though, does this include Canada too? ;)

Soseki  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:55 pm

Woohoo! No SOCOM invitation from Qore or a Home Beta! This is been a great month. I do not expect the Home Beta, but I did pay for the SOCOM invitation and have not received it. Keep up the good work, guys, and please put streaming music back in personal spaces. I cannot wait to see Home launch. ^.^

EvoAnubis  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:56 pm

@115: Congrats to you too!

erico316  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:58 pm

well atumus end soon there only 2 month and there a rumor of late oct for a new firmware with home included

erico316  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:59 pm

well im sure i dont get in i rarely get into beta on the ps3 so…….i given up til the open beta

ftwrthtx  |  September 19th, 2008 at 12:59 pm

The only emails I ever get are wanting me to spend money. I didn’t even get my Socom Qore code. I won’t be holding my breath for this either.

erico316  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:00 pm

by the way what would the sender name be so we dont get tricked?

noelpioroda  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:00 pm

This is for the whole continent of North America. This is why the chances are still slim down. But I do believe that of course in the U.S. you have a greater chance overall than here in Canada =P…

StPaddy81  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:00 pm

Well, hopefully all of us that didn’t get in will have a good time next month in the Open Beta.

noelpioroda  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:01 pm

Paddy, what makes you to believe that Open Beta will come next month =O?

bass286  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:01 pm

i have 2 emails and my account is set to a new one will it get sent to my new email or at my old one?

IceCold  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:01 pm

looks like i missed out again… =[

MikeyRawr  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:02 pm

is this just for Amarica?
is it gonna happen for us at the UK?

bass286  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:02 pm

@126 if i get it

noelpioroda  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:03 pm

@128

JUST FOR NORTH AMERICA.

OMFG… Freaking Canada and United States ok???? I don’t really know about the UK.

IceReign  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:03 pm

I am in I am in!!!

stewey  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:04 pm

Still nothing for me, thought I will check my email religiously throughout the evening *crosses fingers*

zerocolin6  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:05 pm

didnt get one yet……….

EvoAnubis  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:06 pm

@131: Excellent! Congrats!

GGCAN  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:06 pm

Anyone that is saying is this only US,,,,it’s not….I’m from Canada and in and there are lots of people from all over the world.

People of all ages are there and from everywhere, so it’s not region specific.

Codey  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:07 pm

I don’t think it’s fair that the people in US just have to download a Home theme while us in Europe have to be very active on PSN to get into the beta. :/ Why is it like that?

IceCold  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:07 pm

Maybe Sony has the wrong email for me LOL. I’ve been waiting since the very first wave over a year ago.

MikeyRawr  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:07 pm

@130

CHILL OUT, CRY BABY lmao

Daver  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:08 pm

Thats great! i hope i get an invit :)

Charliesdad  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:09 pm

@136 I believe that those in the U.S. have to had downloaded the theme AND been active on PSN. Simply downloading the theme alone won’t cut it. At least that’s the way it was presented when the new Beta invites were announced.

zookey  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:10 pm

You know what’d be really messed up?

If one of you gets the email then records yourself dancing and singing that ‘I got the golden ticket’ song from WIlly Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and posts it on YouTube……..

I really hope I get an email, but I don’t think singing a 70’s film song is in my future either way haha

GGCAN  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:10 pm

Just a tip to everyone….check your Junk folder too….

Sometimes email thinks it’s spam…..so if you do get one and it’s in your Junk folder…add that address to your address book.

You don’t want anything like these emails to go missing, right ?

SpLinT  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:13 pm

Man!! I didn’t get in! =( I’ll keep checking though.

jimm  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:13 pm

I WANT TO APPLY!!!

LET ME KNOW HOW!!!

MY EMAIL: mixmasterjimm@hotmail.com

ME PSN: jimm

triCkii  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:15 pm

WOOOOOOOO!!! HOOOOOOOOOO!!!

i keep checking my hotmail mail account :)

KiD  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:16 pm

Booooooooooring -.-

Want LBP beta =P

Darkemist  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:17 pm

Been waiting for it. Guess I’ll have to wait for the open beta…

Congrats to everyone who got in.

TRIX_BOL  |  September 19th, 2008 at 1:18 pm

@ ftwrthtx:

You are right! Because neither my brother that bought QORE Annual Subscription since it released, didn’t receive the SOCOM beta code.

But if i could receive an invitation e-mail, i would be more than happy to be in.
