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.
“Activity on the PlayStation Network”….as in how much one plays online?
I rarely play online, but I do play my PS3 a ton. I have 47 Blu-ray Disc games, and 13 PSN games (annual subscriber to Qore, too), so while I don’t play competitively very often, I do play my PS3 a ton.
Probably far more then most people who have PS3s.
Anyway, I sure hope I get in.
I got a question for you Jack
Im really excited about the home beta but you see im at work till 9, will my chances of getting into the home beta be less because of this or does it matter how late i download the home theme.
What is the chance of getting in the Beta?
I was just wondering. If a person is selected how do you go about letting them know? Email? Message? Something else?
Thanks again so much, but is Home going to receive a significant update to come along side this participant expansion? thanks!
I don’t play a lot of ps3 online and every
single day, so I won’t get into the beta.
:(
PLEASE REPLY!
I have been patiently waiting for this opportunity. But now I’m camping in literaly the middle of no where! So I won’t be able to download this until august 20. Can you enter me in :(. BurntOrange32 is my PSN. Thanks :) if I don’t get in I guess Ill just have to wait even more…..

Hopefully annual Qore subscribers have a better chance to get in:) *hint hint
Here’s to hopefully making it in… with my luck, I won’t. But no harm in trying!
Excellent! Looking forward to it.
Please let me in I will send you cookies!
Simply truly awesome news… Was not one of the biggest Home fan, but those theme rooms you have added definitively won me over.
Way to go!
P.S.: Does that mean that I have to stop watching this web page now?

So, it really is still coming! :) Thanks for the info, I’ll definitely be hoping to get in here and really see what Home is all about. I’m unsure of what my expectations even are, I need some time to explore it.

btw Jack, ive got a question for you, with most active on PSN, dyou mean playing online or something else?
and with active on PS Store, dyou mean buying stuff, coz ive been out of money lately lol… couldn’t even buy PixelJunk Eden :(
And the theme itself looks pretty slick, too. Will be grabbing this later in the afternoon and crossing my fingers hoping to try out Home.

If I don’t get in, does my girlfriend who has a separate account on our system have a chance still or is it locked to the IP?
