Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has revealed that v1.0 of PlayStation Home is currently in internal testing and will be made available in the closed beta “in the coming weeks.”
Speaking in a post on the official European PlayStation messageboards, forum moderator ‘Ted the Dog’ commented: “Sorry, you don’t have too long to wait compared to the length of the project so far, but I know the lack of a date is annoying.”
“If it helps, v1.0 is in internal testing and will hit the closed beta in the coming weeks as will more testers by invitation.”
Elsewhere, it has also been confirmed that Home beta invites are to be made available via US online magazine Qcore in early November.
Stay tuned for more on PlayStation Home as it becomes available.

Man, I don't have that much money to go out and buy Qore. I think honest and true members of the Playstaton Underground should also get invites. I guess I'm just being a bit** about it, but dam*, does it have to be like getting invited to a diner with president to get into beta's. They seem to play dirty.

To Dave-The-Rave.
Yes 1.0 is "Generally" the version you release to the public, but given the scale of this project and EVERYTHING that can go wrong if it is released poorly, you have to test the crap out of the current code base and "if" something horrible is found at this point, you would generally cut it out. In a worst case scenario you would do a patch to the code base, but you pray that this isn't needed now. So there will be no new features, but just a sanity check before Christmas. Can you imagine if something horrible was found out right before their Christmas sales? To be honest, if I was them I would either make absolutely sure it was rock solid OR delay it to after Christmas. God forbid they get negative advertising on the mass media before Christmas because someone figured out a way to upload porn and show it to kids.

lets use Socom for example: PS3 users and most gaming sites slammed Socom for being bugged and for lagging. which came to b**ching about it and how it wasn't a great game in fact its still one of the best army games. which they they could have delayed the game witch it would ve came to more PS3 users b**ching about the delay.
Question if Home was release this week and it had a few bugs and be lagging. WHAT WILL YALL COMPLAINERS SAY THEN??? i'm NOT saying it dose. if yall would notice Home getting near to becoming public with them inviting more people. -

I think invites should have been given out to people who had their system the longest, period. This would have given Sony good enough numbers to have a measurement as to handle the stress. There are ways that they could have handles this better. Still, it's good to hear that it's close to release.

@18 Whenever home does come out there still is gonna be a bug or glitch somewhere. Its just the way it is. I've never seen an online abled game that did not have some kinda bug on its release. Home may not be a game but its still an online app. And from what i have seen so far, its pretty much impossible to make a bug free online experience. But they seem to be able to fix it (patch it). So I dont get what the problem is? Just release the thing. And then if someone finds a bug just send a patch.

I agree with most on here that state that all early adopters of the PS3 should be given preferential treatment when it comes to dishing out Beta's. After all the people who pre ordered their console for launch day really are the true supporters of the franchise. So SOny take note and take a look at registration dates and dish out accordingly.
