“HOME” OpenBeta kommt erst im Herbst
Diese offizielle Ankündigung tut schon einigermaßen weh.
Dafür muss man sich aber nun kein Kopfzerbrechen bezüglich der zahlreichen
Release-Gerüchte mehr machen.
Sony verkündet in einer Pressemitteilung, dass die geschlossene Beta erweitert und
die offene Beta somit erst im Herbst 2008 starten wird!

SONY COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES EXPANSION OF CLOSED BETA TESTING FOR PLAYSTATION®HOME IN SUMMER 2008
Open Beta Service Scheduled For Fall 2008
Tokyo, April 22, 2008 – Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) announced today
that it will expand the Closed Beta testing for PLAYSTATION®Home in Summer 2008,
inviting a further number of registrants from the PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3®) users.
Following completion of the Expanded Closed Beta test, the PLAYSTATION Home
Open Beta service will commence in Fall 2008.
“We understand that we are asking PS3 and prospective PS3 users to wait a bit
longer, but we have come to the conclusion that we need more time to refine the
service to ensure a more focused gaming entertainment experience than what it is
today,” said Kazuo Hirai, President and Group CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment
Inc. “Our overarching objective is to provide users with new gaming experiences that
are available only on PLAYSTATION Home. Spending more time on the development
and on the Closed Beta testing reaffirms our commitment to bringing a quality service,
maintaining the PlayStation® tradition.”
The PLAYSTATION Home Open Beta service that will become available in Fall 2008 will
be built around providing new and fun community gaming experiences.
Details of the Closed Beta testing features, registration for the test and the opening
of the service will be announced as they become available.
