SONY Computer Entertainment Inc. have announced today that it will
expand the Closed Beta testing for PLAYSTATION Home in Summer 2008,
inviting a further number of registrants from the PLAYSTATION3
users.
Following completion of the Expanded Closed Beta test, the
PLAYSTATION Home Open Beta service will commence in Fall 2008.“We
understand that we are asking PS3 and prospective PS3 users to wait
a bit longer, but we have come to the conclusion that we need more
time to refine the service to ensure a more focused gaming
entertainment experience than what it is today,” said Kazuo Hirai,
President and Group CEO, SONY Computer Entertainment Inc. “Our
overarching objective is to provide users with new gaming
experiences that are available only on PLAYSTATION Home. Spending
more time on the development and on the Closed Beta testing
reaffirms our commitment to bringing a quality service, maintaining
the PlayStation tradition.”
The PLAYSTATION Home Open Beta service that will become available in
Fall 2008 will be built around providing new and fun community
gaming experiences, such as connecting PlayStation games with Home
and providing places and items from the games. Details of the Closed
Beta testing features, registration for the test and the opening of
the service will be announced as they become available. |
