Home Open Beta available this year

In an interview with Phil Harrison, GameSpot confirmed that even though PlayStation Home has been delayed until 2008, PS3 users will get to experience Home in some way this year.

"We will still be opening in late November/early December for general beta testing. So, the commercial start of Home will be pushed out later, but you will still get the experience this year," he explained.

PlayStation Home will bring a whole new meaning to networking with the ability to meet friends, play games, and customize your own pad/crib/Home Space. Players will be given almost unlimited freedom in where they go and what they do. Also, publishers and developers will have the chance to create their own hot spots to showcase all their upcoming games and invite players to see their newest developments.

Be sure to check back in with PSU for further updates on Home.
