If you've diligently been keeping up with all the PlayStation updates from Sony, then now might be a good time to check your e-mail just in case a pleasant surprise may be waiting for you there. IGN writer Greg Miller recently confirmed that invites have recently been sent out for the closed beta of PlayStation Home.

The e-mail should contain a voucher code, which will allow you to download the beta from the PlayStation Store. It shouldn't take too long to download as well, seeing as the application is only 85 MB in size.

If you're as psyched as we are about Home, then you're probably spamming the refresh button on your browser just like we are. Anyway, until Home officially goes live, here's another look at how PlayStation Home should work once it's up and running.

# which account? — silentmatt 2008-09-02 14:45

would the invite be sent to the e-mail associated with our PSN accounts? or to our PS3 accounts directly?



I figured it would be sent to the PS3 accounts that downloaded that theme a while back...

# Not downloading right now — platon 2008-09-02 17:24

Because I never got the mail... sad. I bought stuff online, I play warhawk online with friends, I play soul calibur 4 online, I send e-mails, I browse the internet, etc. And no mail? I'm sad.

# UK? — tobyo1 2008-09-03 21:52

Did they send invites to any UK accounts? I didn't get mine, I couldn't find the theme on the store either. I'm guessing it's US only.
