Want into the PlayStation Home Closed Beta test? Here's How to Apply

101
PlayStation.Blog: 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.

Desperate times call for desperate measures huh Marceles ;)

To me, if this is just adding a "few" more beta testers this isn't the way to go about it. They'd use the Playstation forums, putting a Home Logo on the PSN would aggravate a LOT of people if only a few were selected. This to me, smells like an open beta is just around the corner. Possibly just waiting for the time to announce it. Any game shows coming up soon? ;)

I already have almost everything on PSN worth buying, except flow. I even have a one year sub to Qore so I hope I get an email.

Questions: If I get in am I allowed to share my impressions with n4g?

you can share your impressions, but there may be some rather classified things they wouldn't want you to share. Someone sure will though.

Even though I'm always online, the last retail game I played was MGS4 a couple of months ago. I play cross-plats on my 360 also. No way I'm getting in, which means my PS3 won't be on until the open beta comes out.

they may accept everyone that downloads the theme because on the blog alot of people are saying yay thank you, and they are being answered, normally if this were really by selection they wouldnt do this to then let these peoples hopes down.

I don't think it's how much stuff you bought off of the PSN store, it's how often you're online using the PlayStation network that will determine if you get in or not.. Look at it this way, why would they want to give a beta spot to someone who's hardly online when the could give it to a more frequent online user and get more feedback ?
