Public Home Beta To Kick Off This Month
The wait is almost over as it appears that Home is getting ready to start its live public beta.
There have been numerous reports that many members of the Official PlayStation forums are being notified to link their accounts with their PlayStation Network accounts. The email has also made its way overseas to members of the Official European PlayStation forums as well.
According to our source, the email that is being received states that, "...users must link their PlayStation Network account to their PSN user ID before March 16, 2008," which is just four days away for those who are deep in Call of Duty spring break marathons and can't remember what day it is.
For those who have been out of the loop for a while, Home is a community-based service for PSN which has been in development for roughly two years. The application allows users to create a character that in return will receive their own virtual apartment space, which can then be decorated with items that gamers receive throughout their PS3 gaming sessions.
Stay tuned as more information is leaked out.

"...users must link their PlayStation Network account to their PSN user ID before March 16, 2008," It's impossible to have a PSN account WITHOUT a User ID...

This has nothing to do with home (as far as anyone knows.) I received the email myself. It states that they want to link the official playstation forums with playstation network. They want anyone who has an account on the forum to say what there PSN account is before the 16th as that is when they are changing the forums. It's a bit disappointing to see PSU hear the slightest mention of the PSN and come out with something completely irrelevant to do with home. I read the title and got my hopes up, to only realise it was for nothing.

Well whenever they do release the Home Beta its gonna be awesome to see what they have been working on for two years now...With ur "apartment space" giving you the option of showing off items received while playing PS3 gaming sessions kindof reminds me of X-box 360 and the achievments, which is one thing I think the PS3 is lacking right now that I liked most about the 360 :( Being able to keep track of ur games and achievments to show what you've been accomplishing!

haha, yes!
I had a breif thought, "I'll wait until the final product is out so it will be even sweeter".
then I realized, there's no way I'm going to be able to resist the urge to try it out.

@ Cesarcsrf
That date would be the 19th. Now here's the deal. I know people who know alot about what's going on in PS Home right now, actually they know what's going on with alot of stuff with the PS3. But anyways, this mate told me about 3 weeks or a month ago that an open Home beta was coming out on the 19th. There was alot of talk about the open Home beta coming out the 19th-20th, I heard it from many different sources. And this site: Is it just someone who heard the same rumors I did and decided to get alot of people's hype going? Or is it really true....
My guess is if the Home beta IS coming out this month, it's going to be on the 19th. If it isn't, we're still getting it soon.
Can't wait!

This is a rumor. I have been over the official playstation forums and they are saying there is still no one who has actually received a message stating such. But it still might be a possiblity. If I think about it Sony is talking about home this friday at OGC so the home beta might really be coming this month.

Shame on you psu.com Stop just trying to get views, I love this website but these articles are what I hate about it. Just reminds me that this website is run by a few guys in their basement.

@ Fiddlesworth
I think the article ment to link your playstation account from http://www.us.playstation.com with your PSN account.
So in other words you have to be registered on the offcial us playstation forums. Hopefully it will be for all users and not just limited randomly selected users.

I agree with you Brandonh33, this website is getting to be waste of time and just telling lies, such as the last time, about Warhawk patch and it wasn't true.

the best way to sing up for home is to be in playstation underground, and get an invitation to G.A.P. (Game Advasory Panel) they send out random invitations, once you're in gap they might give u an invitation to the home beta and many other betas that's how i got into home

WHAT?!?!?!?!? What could this possibly have to do with home? And to top that off nobody here seems to know how to link your psn to your forum account, makes no sense. You lost points for this one psu.

I'm going to ask again. What...IS..."LINKING"? Is it having the same root email address for your Offical undergroud account AND PSN ID or what? I asked this at the official site and all the dorks there danced around my question because they didn't know (but wouldn't admit it). Let's see what happens here...

I dont see Home being that good from the start anyway! I dont get why everyone is getting excited as like everything it will take a long time to get right and disappointment will inevitably set in.
patience young padawans!
