Quote:As you all know, PlayStation Home Beta invites started going out today for US. Unfortunately there are a lot of disappointed PS3 fans out there, as only a select few (like me *yay*) got into the first round of invites in the Expanded Home Beta. I have been searching and searching trying to find out some info that might calm the masses that didn’t get their email invite.source: http://playstationlifestyle.net/2008/09/...ut-weekly/
According to PS3forums member gerrylum who contacted SCEA about PlayStation Home Beta invites, SCEA replies with this:
"Thank you for writing us.
