More Home beta invites are out

by Majed Athab { Sep 2nd 2008 at 5:50PM }

While Home-less Europeans have been given invites to the scheduled beta since mid-August, it's now the turn of North Americans everywhere to access the digital shelter. If you believe you're destined to receive a proverbial golden ticket into a world of pure interior decoration, check your e-mail right now. If you've got one, congratulations. If not ... then hopefully more invites will be given out within the next few days.

[Thanks Michael T.!]

crimsondc5 @ Sep 2nd 2008 5:56PM

i got the invite... but my ps3 died last week... and no warranty... im very upset...

kevin @ Sep 2nd 2008 6:00PM

prove it.

jangaboo @ Sep 2nd 2008 6:17PM

don't trust 1 post or no history posters with comments like this and if you do have it, yeah give me your PlayStation network name so i can get in...

Phil @ Sep 2nd 2008 7:30PM

My PlayStation died last night. Stopped reading blu-rays. I was pretty pissed considering it died when I was watching 3:10 to yuma. But I have my new one now which sucks cause it only has 2 usb ports instead of 4. I also was past warranty, by like 4 months.

crimsondc5 @ Sep 2nd 2008 9:07PM

based on how i see my first post ever on fanboy is now discolored ill keep my thoughts to myself...

hating cuz you didnt get the beta i assume

Frodo_T_Baggins @ Sep 2nd 2008 9:24PM

Haha, my one just broke last night...Stopped reading Blu-rays as well. What sucks is that I imported Rock Band (at a hefty price), it arrived yesterday afternoon and now I can't play it.

Mine was out of Warranty and I had no Receipt. Luckily the fine people at the Sony Support Center in New Zealand do free replacements if it is a manufacturing fault...even with no warranty or proof of purchase. I went from hating Sony to loving them in one short day.

fatherb @ Sep 2nd 2008 11:45PM

My PS3 just broke Friday should get my coffin tomorrow to get it fixed 11 months into warranty phew. I thought Sony was just messing with me as I called for repair they send me the invite. Hopefully see you guys in a week or so.

Jason @ Sep 2nd 2008 6:21PM

do you get confirmation in your e-mail e-mail or do you have to log onto ur psn-id on ur ps3..to find out..or do you go to psunderground?

thinkofmeasmra @ Sep 3rd 2008 2:37PM

it tells you in an email that your in as well as a "password" for you to enter into a place in the Transaction Management section. From there, it tells you what the password was for and then lets you download it right there. Once downloaded, it goes to the Game section like a demo or psn game.

Tony @ Sep 2nd 2008 6:22PM

homeless in jersey still

Loonknight @ Sep 2nd 2008 6:23PM

I was lucky enough to get one. I was surprised to see it in there I thought they were done inviting people.

solidreid @ Sep 2nd 2008 6:27PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

black_ryuk @ Sep 2nd 2008 6:31PM

Well i'm gonna head over to the playstation home forums to watch people complain now....lol

The1stMJC @ Sep 2nd 2008 6:32PM

SONY u missed the The1stMJC, AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Tolkienfanatic @ Sep 2nd 2008 6:32PM

Nothing for me >.

Popfrogs @ Sep 2nd 2008 6:35PM

GAP member, RLS member, downloaded the theme...no invite. Yes, that's a WTF look on my face.

deusmecha @ Sep 2nd 2008 6:39PM

Same here, dude.

I better freaking get in.

Tom @ Sep 2nd 2008 6:38PM

I've had my PS3 since launch, why don't I get in? Where is the the benefit of taking the risk for Sony.

thinkofmeasmra @ Sep 3rd 2008 2:37PM

its better than xbox's 33% failure rate risk on their launch consoles.....that said, which risk would you rather have taken?? a practically non-existant risk or a risk of your crapbox melting the moment you play your first game?

Jerses @ Sep 2nd 2008 6:48PM

i wasnt counting to get in.. but this just confirms my theory that sony hates latinamerica... they like to sell ps3s for 90 dlls but don't want to support it. Im guessing its not console locked... its easier to block via IP.

Is anyone from Latinamerica in?

Ty @ Sep 2nd 2008 7:02PM

It's good to see that a lot of people that are excited about Home are getting their chance at being part of the beta.

Ripcord83 @ Sep 2nd 2008 7:12PM

I've had mine since the original invites went out.
But I welcome all the new people that got in today!

PSN: Ripcord83

calvin @ Sep 2nd 2008 7:19PM

OMG they're still using the playstation home theme for invites? i played like 20+ hours online in the past few weeks but i didn't have the home theme on cuz i thought it was done the first time. damn. oh well it's back on my ps3 now. congratulations to those that got the invite today.

Kodros @ Sep 2nd 2008 8:26PM

I don't think that you have to be using the theme. Just downloading it puts you in the applicant list.

Skunk Ape @ Sep 2nd 2008 8:52PM

I got in and I never once used it. I just downloaded it and left my MGS theme up.

Jaime Ferrer @ Sep 2nd 2008 7:27PM

Dagnabit.... I was really hoping I could get into home. Wonder what their prerequisites are to get picked... if they have any.

James @ Sep 2nd 2008 7:28PM

Uh.. I got a golden nothing.

James @ Sep 2nd 2008 7:28PM

None, I'm assuming the internet's tubes are clogged and that's why I don't have a beta?

Nah I didn't expect to get in so I'm not surprised, I never expected to get in.

H2Os @ Sep 2nd 2008 7:38PM

I'm Homeless! ;)

James @ Sep 2nd 2008 7:38PM

Live in the US, EST. Downloaded the Home theme the minute that particular update went live. Buy lots of stuff from the store, have a bunch of trophies, the majority of the games I play are online over the PSN, and when I'm not playing, I leave my PS3 online/signed in and running Folding@home.

Didn't get the invite yet (and don't expect to get one at all). So, there's that. I assume there weren't really any prerequisites at all aside from downloading that theme then being randomly selected.
