Back on the official SCEE forums, Home community manager TedTheDog writes:

"Today, Friday 21st, over a hundred thousand invitations will be sent across the SCEE region and next Thursday the 27th another larger batch of invitations will be sent.

If you are lucky enough to get an invitation then please note there will be load test event on each of the two evenings.

For everyone else Open Beta will not be far behind."

finally got back in home yesterday after the update and they really updated everything such as the menu and a couple of more dance moves.. lol. i like that the bowling alley shows people bowling now. only thing i was mad about was that i had to re-create my character again. didn't take too long but still... all in all HOME is almost good to go. can't wait to see more ps3 users on when it's out.

they better not group us in the same places as foreigners, I only speak english and don't want to be drowned out by spanish and french.

Britain only please in my room! I'd be quite happy to be with americans and canadians and anyone else that shares my lnguage, but no! were cut off from the rest of the world.

YES! Just read the age limit will be lowered to 16! Now I have a chance!

@1.4

it's an honest comment... sad but honest. A bit narrow minded but you're still quite young so I guess it's understandable. Anyway, I don't know if Home will be linked to country but if you don't speak spanish or french (or chinese, japanese, wathever), I don't know why you should bother : just don't speak to people you don't understand, they'll probably won't talk to you either

y is it narow minded? I have no way of communicating with them! If the home space i'm in is shared with all of europe they'll probably be about 1 in 5 english speaking people. I can't speak a foreign language well apart from a small bit o french. Maybe I should have worded my first comment a bit better, but surely you can see where I'm coming from? I would expect that other european countries feel the same. It's just because the home space has a limited number of people in each main area so I would have less people I could actually chat to.

I'm happy talking to people from anywhere in the world as long as its possible for me to hold up a conversation with them.

I got my beta invitation tonight.

I dl'd Home and I started it up just to check it out but I didn't have much time to really try it.

I'll be messing around with it tomorrow a bit!

From the little bit that I saw, I thought it looked pretty cool...

Screw "we"... I hope "I" get in!

FREAKIN UPDATE!!!

I Got IN!!! The invite was sent to my hotmail account. There are twelve letter/numbers separated by dashes. 3 groups of 4 characters!

Might be because i had a PS underground account, then i merged it, i also downloaded the theme.

100,000 is fairly hefty, with an even larger amount being invited next thursday - This is effectivley the start of the Open Beta they just don't want everyone downloading and accessing at the same time and crashing it.

Not really, the beta is still fully in a closed state. Open doesnt mean by invite only. They're releasing X number of invites so they can test X number of servers for load testing. The release of the Open Beta (PSN download for everyone) will be in direct relation with the load test results.

To bad that just like KZ2, biased sites and staff that works for them will tear HOME appart, it doesnt matter how "OK" it might be, they will spin it into something negative.
"WHy i want to do this balblabla !" You dont have to use it, thats best part, its not like IN YOUR FACE YOU HAVE TO USE HOME!
Its there, use it if you want, if not just avoid it, that simple.

Why do people always act like there is some conspiracy against the PS3? That is so silly. Reviewers and game journalists give their honest opinion--sometimes it will be positive and sometimes it will be negative. I own both consoles and there are times that games or services for either console get a review that I don't agree with, but I don't see any kind of universal bias towards any console. Everybody has their own preferences, that is all.

Funny, that is how I feel about Avatars on the Xbox 360 but that hasn't stopped the bash train. I wonder if I should call it a grand conspiracy?

Anyway, after all the crap I've heard from the Sony gang on the NXE and Avatars, Home will be some bitter medicine.

Stop waiting for betas and start working on your LBP levels so I can play them. Think about me and not you and your Home.

Hostility? There is none. I simply answered your question, your reading my text, the tone you decide to give it is your choice. But I intented no hostility, perhaps you need to be a little less sensitive and just be thankful for me being the only user bothered to answer your question.

11.5 - Fishy wasn't being hostile; he was merely giving you the truth
You shouldn't believe everything you read online. How many times have you read a rumor, only to have it turn out to be not true, and you end up disappointed or angry (as it's apparent)?

Just a little heads up to you, is all.

Be a useful, responsible member and others will give you good feedback and increase your bubble score.

Try and provide something to the topic (be honest), don't get swept up in all the "games" that go on and you'll be fine.
