N3M3515, who is a BETA tester, posted some information on the PS3 Home v0.96.3 Update today.
Included in the update details is a release date of July, 31 and screenshot from the announcement in the Sony BETA Tester Forums by Home Manager "TedTheDog".
The update will not come as a patch, but rather a unique code sent to your email and redeemed via Account Management in your XMB.
HOME will then be part of the XMB rather than under the GAME section on your XMB.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
I hope they don't extend the beta or ever release it if people break the NDA
in other words it going to be accessed like how Phil Harrison accessed it during GDC 07 last year:
Getting close to 1.0!

+The xBox 360 will get a icon and under it, it will say...
HOMELESS!!! ;-D
(Think the icon on the xBox 360 will be of a House on Fire!!!) ;-D
