More news about PlayStation Home that doesn’t say the beta is open now! Sony has sent out word on the PlayStation forums that version 1.0 will hit the closed beta soon (but not that soon), and will be inviting a large number of extra testers once it happens.

More news about PlayStation Home that doesn’t say the beta is open now!

Sony has sent out word on the PlayStation forums that version 1.0 will hit the closed beta soon (but not that soon), and will be inviting a large number of extra testers once it happens.

Here’s the official outline of events to come in the following weeks, as posted by Ted:

1.  The version 1.0 Patch Notes will be published in the closed beta forum so they know what to expect and to help plan testing.
2.  A couple of days later Version 1.0 will be released into the Closed beta. That will not happen this week.
3.  SCEE will be inviting a large number of extra testers into the closed beta to load test and that process will start within a day or so of v1.0 going live. We wont invite them all straight away, we’ll ramp it up over a a period of time. We will be inviting non-English speaking testers for the first time. Languages covered will be English, French, Italian, German and Spanish. Please remember these are languages, not countries, so more than the immediately obvious countries will be included to a degree. The lists have been chosen already, don’t try changing your language to get included!
4.  Once we start inviting people in to the Closed Beta the public SCEE Home forums will become the Home beta test forums.
5.  The date of Open Beta start will be announced in advance
6.  Open Beta starts and that will be just as it implies, Open to all

Well that’s that folks. PlayStation Home is coming, but not in the immediate future – basically same news as always.
