- Playstation Home Agenda Update
- Posted About 1 month ago by Voyou San
From what is being said by Ted, it looks very good that we will be going HOME around December. I know this has been delayed a lot and features have been dropped but I am still excited to get in and see what this is all about and really experience it. Also want to see just how much they can grow the service.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Excited? Me too 
Frustrated? Sorry, but not long now.
Heres a rough overview of the coming weeks:
- 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.
- A couple of days later Version 1.0 will be released into the Closed beta. That will not happen this week.
- 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, dont try changing your language to get included!
- Once we start inviting people in to the Closed Beta the public SCEE Home forums will become the Home beta test forums.
- The date of Open Beta start will be announced in advance
- Open Beta starts and that will be just as it implies, Open to all
Theres more detail that I'll bring to you about bug reporting, forum changes etc closer to the time.
Finally, Home Open Beta is the start of a long journey, not the end of one. I know I've said this a lot recently but I see many of you are thinking of Home Open Beta like a game release in that you're expecting the final version to be launched with just some patches and maybe some DLC to come afterwards. Home Beta is a service that will grow from the foundation of v1.0 over the coming months and years so thinking of it as a start rather than a finish will help you understand where its going and what its all about. We all appreciate you've been waiting a long time to be a part of this journey and we hope you enjoy it once your onboard with us.

Wait... It's still in beta? Wasn't HOME announced, like, a year and a half ago? I swear, the Amish could get it done faster. Seriously, they build houses in two weeks or less, without machinery.
blah blah blah... i'm a dirty whore. i chase the boys and girls and have them try my cream..... damn you "Ted"
I just wish that the service was an optional beta thing.
