Sony Home Beta Goes Live In North America, Screens Leaked
America catches up with Europe
The PlayStation Home beta has gone live in North America, according to a posting on the official PlayStation forums. Unofficial new Home screens have emerged on the internet today, but its unclear whether they come from North America or Europe.
The poster, one TristanMike, reports, “I was browsing the Playstation 3 Network section here on the forums when I saw that the store was updated..I went to look, and Home Beta was ready for download...I'm downloading as we speak... I didn't get an email telling me.”
No official confirmation has come from Sony as yet, so SPOnG remains open to the possibility that the information is inaccurate. With the service already live for Sony employees in Europe, however, it seems plausible that Home is, in fact, available.
Invitations went out to privileged PS3 owners in North America last week. For the time being, however, it's only members of Sony's Games Advisory Panel (GAP) who have received invitations to the service. The online sign-up sheet is still not allowing users to register their interest for Home.
SPOnG contacted Sony for confirmation but no comment was available at the time of press. Needless to say, SPOnG will keep you informed.

yeah, but a online social bowling game does seem pretty neat. anyway - those arcade games got my eye- can you imane playing arcade game and having a home crowd gather behind you to watch your gaming greatness? it would be like the old arcade days, with crowds watching people face off on streetfighter
And that Home psp - i wonder what you'll be able to play with that - or will you be able plug in your realworld psp and then your avatar will have a psp, and anything you download to you Home psp will actually download to the real psp.
whatever, this home is lookingbetter and better
