Sony PlayStation 3 Home Beta Site Now Up

During Wednesday's keynote presentation, Sony's Phil Harrison mentioned that, while the finished version of Home for the PlayStation 3 would be available in fall of this year, there would be a beta of the program that would be made available in April. It looks like Sony's getting a bit of a head start on the process, however, since a new Web site opened up Thursday, advertising the impending release of the beta trial. Currently, it doesn't say much, but what it does say is this:

Welcome to Home Beta.

Home is a real-time 3D, networked community that serves as a meeting place for PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) users from around the world, where they can interact, communicate, join online games, shop, share content and even build their own personal spaces. Home will be available as a free download from the PLAYSTATION Store and will launch directly from the PS3 system's Home Menu.

Keep checking back on this site to register an interest in taking part in an exclusive closed Beta Trial of Home

We'll keep you updated as soon as we hear more.
