According to a PlayStation Underground press release sent out earlier today, Sony has confirmed that it will be sending out Home Beta invites to annual Qore subscribers only.
"As an update to the PLAYSTATION(R)3 News email sent on Friday, October 24th, the special invitation to PlayStation(R)Home’s closed beta is available only to Qore annual subscribers who purchased subscriptions by 10/29. Qore Episode 06 purchasers will not be eligible for the special PlayStation(R)Home beta invitation at this time. We apologize for the miscommunication." – PlayStation Underground Press Release
As a result, those of you looking to take advantage of this offer will have to fork out for a year’s subscription to Qore — which isn’t a bad thing in itself.
