PlayStation Home: version 1.0 released, more invites sent out

Home beta invites sent out to Qore subs - Image 1Looks like the leak from the private Home beta forums was accurate; version 1.0 of PlayStation Home is now up and ready for grabs.

More lucky fellows who downloaded the PlayStation Home theme have also been invited to join the party, so you might want to check your inbox. Note that this has only been confirmed for US PSN members.

Reports from the PlayStation forums also say that invites from the November issue of Qore have also been sent out. No news on when the beta will open up to the public though, but we'll keep you updated.

UPDATE:

It seems there's been some miscommunication somewhere. Although the Beta invites that were sent thanked users for "downloading the theme" (suggesting that's how they got in), some people from the US Home boards have confirmed that they got in despite not downloading the theme at all.

People speculate that the part of the letter thanking them for downloading the theme was a mistake, and the invites were actually the ones awarded to Qore annual subscribers. Thanks to D-0-A for pointing it out!

» Here is something you need to add....

The emails that are being sent out have a typo in them. These invites are for those users who subscribed to Qore Annual ON 10/29 or before.



The "Thanks for Downloading the theme" is a typo, and needs to be fixed, but we are not aware if Sony knows about it or not.

» yeah

just make sure the email is the one attached to your psn account or your underground account

» Hm

That's a serious issue. You have a source for that I can direct people to so I can update the article?

by D-0-A - 2008-11-20 06:18
» Yes I do.

Check here on the US HOME Boards. Lots of people got invites today, and a few pages back we are talking about the typo.



Also the Annual Qore thing, that was a MISINTERPRETATI ON.



By does not mean before. Users had until the end of the day ON 10/29 to buy Qore Annual and get an invite. I know, because I bought it then, and just got in.



Also HOME severs are down for all the new invited personnel. So if you keep getting an error don't worry.



Here is a link to the US Home Boards.

» telling you guys

its people who purchase items from the PSN recently who get the recent demos

by HakatoX - 2008-11-20 14:42
» not true at all

I DL every demo... bought pain(all addons), SSHD, bionic commando, novastrike, pixeljunk monsters, HV bowling, linger in shadows, siren, and a few other forgettable titles.....



so under that logic... I shoulda had my beta invite..... oh yeah and I am a day one 1 qore subscriber



I support sony to the fullest (that my wallet will let me) I should get some kind of gratitude for my dedication...

not to mention I am a member of GAP and an RLS member.....
