TOKYO, April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI)
announced today that it will expand the Closed Beta testing for
PLAYSTATION(R)Home in Summer 2008, inviting a further number of registrants
from the PLAYSTATION(R)3 (PS3(R)) 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(R)
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.
Details of the Closed Beta testing features, registration for the test and the
opening of the service will be announced as they become available.

Things aren't getting any better for the ps3 are they?

Ouch. Big hit for them , was one of the reasons they were looking like big players in 08'.

Does Sony even listen to their customers? People want Home, in-game XMB and game invites. What do they do? Revamp the PSN store, which was like #8 on PS3 owner's lists. Meanwhile that glossy black dust collector just sits until I pull out the one game I actually like.

Just play second life and imagine.

is there anyone out there that actually likes the PS3 over the 360? i don't get it. to this date, i haven't seen anything that makes the PS3 a better or more enjoyable system.

Gran Turismo 5. Believe.

I wouldn't say I prefer the PS3 though, I like both as much as each other.

Despite that i'd still have a 360 at least the games don't get pushed back.

Visit any PS3 site and you'll see the fanboys en masse. Owning both, I absolutely, hands-down prefer the 360.

Scotracer · 22-04-2008, 03:48 PM

I prefer each system for their own things. Hard to say which I like more...but I'd give the nod to the 360.

axeman2008 · 22-04-2008, 05:34 PM

All this hype around the ps3 and it's super powers and still theres a vast majority of people who actually prefer the 360 over it. Just because it has BD dosen't make it better. Thats what my mates don't understand.

stop copying charles for 2 mins, you've said to me so many times on msn that 360 is better

Blasterpez · 22-04-2008, 08:34 PM

wow, this REALLY surprises me.

BRUTAL1TY · 22-04-2008, 08:51 PM

I definitely like the 360 better, but I quite like my PS3 as well. They each have their own distinct features. It's nice to not play on the same console every time. Sounds weird, but that's how I feel.

shane32Eire · 23-04-2008, 10:50 AM

I have both, and I think the PS3 is a far better peice of hardware.

But the online is better on 360 at the moment, I still much prefer playing the PS3 though.

And drakes,GT5 and UT3 are the best console games Ive played this generation.

Kona Palangi · 23-04-2008, 11:25 AM

UTIII? Ha! You're so ****ing stupid Shane But I love you for your unique perspective on all things and your habitual Anti-US bashing I <3 you

Pepper Jack · 23-04-2008, 11:31 AM

he's just trying to justify buying a PS3, it's not that good at all, it's good and i'm sure it will be better but anyone who says it's even close to the 360 is in denial

bevo1981 · 23-04-2008, 11:50 AM

maybe he's just afraid to come out
