"We'll be opening up the Home Beta to the public very soon and hope to see you there"

Those are the words of Susan Panico, Senior Director of PlayStation Network commenting on the PSN and Home in the Official PlayStation Magazine.

Could we be seeing the open beta this month or next?

Might be Sony's surprise for the re-opening of the store?

That will definitely make up for the missing 2 weeks of content (Y)

This month or next, place your bets now ;)

it would make sense to launch with the new store, however fingers are not crossed on this.

I know...

It would be good though, new store, MGO beta and Home beta all at the same time!

Here in Australia, that would make up for the lack of content period :p

However, I'm not holding my breath on this one. I suspect Japan/EU/NA will be getting the beta soon as they are the major markets they need to test it in. Somehow I doubt it will open here as we barly register as a blimp on the grand scheme of things, so I'm guessing they might open a limited beta here towards the end or perhaps not at all and just release it here when it goes final.

I hope I'm wrong as I'm itching to try Home out, but let's fact it Australia is a tiny market many companies don't really care much about :(

Yeah :(

I hope when they mean "public" beta, they mean for absolutely everyone.

Worst comes to the worst, at least when it's public there will be a lot more HD videos/walkthroughs and screens with no fear of breaking NDA.

Yes I know we get some crappy youtube quality video walkthroughs just now :p

I think they're going to try and get out the Home beta out before GTAs released at the end of this month... with GTA being the first big game that we know definately has home content I expect it'll help convince people with both consoles to go for the PS version over the 360.

The fact that she stated it was coming soon in a May issue means that you probably shouldn't expect it here in April. At the very earliest, you can assume it is coming in May; however, there is a lot of reason to expect Home to launch some time in June, which in all honesty, would probably be the best for all worlds.

Don't all magazines sell a month before the month if you get what I mean?

Hence why we are seeing May in April.

The interview will have been carried out in March I guess.

Fair point though, but I'd still hedge a bet on this/next month. Small chance of this month, but it's not ludicrous with all that's going on this month and the fact GTA4 is 100% supporting Home.
